The apartment is located in the centre of Florence only a few minutes by foot from the duomo. We had already read the comments about the narrow staircase and they are in fact difficult to use with luggage and you need to mind your step even when you are not carrying anything. The apartment was sufficiently clean. The only major problem we had was with the bed - actually a sofa that opens and allows 2 people to sleep on it. Since the first day there was a dent in one side and when you slept you felt your upper body elevated more than the bottom part. We were there for 5 days and by the 4th night the sofa was making weird squeaky noises and some spring were dislocated making the dent even bigger. Carol was willing to change it but unfortunately when we communicated the problem to her , was already our last night.The rest of the apartment was ok,keeping in mind that we were sightseeing all day and only came to the Bnb for sleeping. The location of the apartment is great but I don’t think you get your money’s value.
