The flat is the best point to start your journey in Florence. Ciro is a proficient host. At check-in he explained everything about the flat to us. The flat itself is quite unique. Not only the view is amazing. It stretches over many rooms in one line. Everything you need, although we didn't use the kitchen much :) I must admit that I didn't read the comments about the apartment until just shortly before the arrival. So I thought that the noise can't be that bad. It literally sounds like you would sleep in the middle of the plaza. There is this cleaning vehicle which noise I will never forget. So bring something with you for this issue. At night it got a little cold in the flat, but the bed was comfy.
