This is a great location just a few min walk to the Arno. Neighborhood is quiet and safe, with many options for eating. Unless you aren elderly not in decent shape, the stairs are not an issue. Well worth it to have such nice 360 degree view every morning and evening. Once you figure out how to work the blinds and skylight, we were able to keep the place pretty cool, even in record heat. Marie was attentive and able to adjust for check in and out with our schedule. I was very pleased.
