This place has location! It is perfectly situated down a side street and close to everything. You walk down the street and you are right there. It's also a quick walk to Piazza Navona. There is a cute coffee shop right at the apartment that was very kind to English speakers. To be honest, there are stairs...lots of stairs. But, we knew that going in and, hey, it's Italy you are walking and going up stairs all day! There is no elevator, so if you need one please be aware. We felt super secure here. There were 3 additional doors and then you open out to a cute back terrace to your apartment. There were so many personal touches in the apartment by Lorella, even a bottle of wine which we throughly enjoyed! We opened the huge windows and listened to the sounds of the city and took in the fresh air every day. Light sleepers could always close them at night for quiet. The high ceilings made the apartment roomier than it already is. There is a tight metal spiral staircase up to the bedroom loft area, so if you have mobility problems or fear of heights this could be a problem. However, this was clearly advertised and we knew that going in and we liked the perspective it provided. The bathroom is snug but we managed it well and once again...you are in city center Florence! Kitchen was cute and was well stocked. We had a great time and loved our stay! Thank you Lorella! If you want to feel like a Florentine while in Firenze this is your spot!
