This was our "hands down" favourite BnB and we stayed in a few. You can't beat its central location. We were a family of 5 travelling from Melbourne, Australia with 3 boys aged 16, 14 & 10. I was concerned that the apartment might be too small but it was larger then I anticipated, we were so comfortable here. The bedrooms are HUGE & very luxurious. Travelling with a family of 5, you need to make a practical choice for accommodation and BnBs are the only way to go for the self catering, washing machines etc. However, I was missing some of the luxury that a hotel can bring.
This BnB brings back some of the luxury that a hotel might provide. The bedding and linen's divine - like a high end hotel and they made the sofa bed up a treat for my 10 year old son.
Yes, as other reviewers have said it is very noisy @ night but if you've read the reviews before booking this is kind of what you are signing up for so that you can be prepared.
We wouldn't trade it's fabulous location for anything. However, we only stayed for 4 nights so the noise was bearable. Perhaps if you are staying for an extended period of time, the noise might become a problem.
We all agree (and my boys are very hard to please) that Florence & this apartment have been the best part of our Italian adventure.
Now that we have moved onto another BnB in Venice we realise how good we had it in Luca's apartment & how lucky we were to stay there.
If we were fortunate enough to return to Florence I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.
