Daniela was an Excellent host!!! She attended to every question we had, very promptly, but really informed us of most things we needed before we even had to ask. The place is spacious, well equipped, and the location could not be better! We found it ideal for our family of four (two parents with two college aged kids).
Some people have written about the stairs leading to the apartment — yes, they are worthy to note — I would lightheartedly call them “the mini Duomo stairs” (because that’s what they reminded me of, in look and feel only, after climbing the actual Duomo and Campanile, which I thought was pretty cool!). There are three standard flights, that are somewhat narrow, comparing them to most US staircases, but pretty much on par with other European staircases we encountered. I would say, that if you have physical limitations that don’t allow you to do stairs, this may be a deal-breaker, but if you have someone able-bodied in your group that has no problem getting suitcases up and down a few flights of stairs, and you yourself can climb stairs, you shouldn’t have any issues. (I carried my wife’s luggage for her, since stairs aren’t her thing, but she made it up and down these and the Duomo, taking her time when needed.) Just be sure to hit the timed light switches at top and bottom, too, to light your way!
You can’t go wrong with this place, if it fits your needs! We will most certainly stay here, if we ever find ourselves in Florence, again! Thanks for everything Daniela!!!
