This apartment was located up several flights of stairs, but our host was so gracious in meeting us and helping with our luggage. The beautiful apartment was beautifully decorated with antiques, and terra cotta and marble floor. It had air conditioning, a good size shower, well equipped kitchen, a washer and drying rack, and even black out curtains which were great for sleeping in. It was nice having a separate bedroom from the living room/ sleeper sofa area. The location was somewhat residential, but had a pharmacy and coffee shop located conveniently below it. The two men that run the coffee shop were friendly, and the pastries and coffee were delicious and cheap! The location was good, being about 30 minutes walking from the train station, and within minutes of shops, food and lots of gelato! (Try Amorino for gelato and macroons!) Florence was so much fun and just gorgeous! Our host was wonderful giving recommendations of places to eat and see while we were there; just a really nice guy. We would stay here again when visiting Florence.
