The location is perfect for getting to all of the great spots in Florence and has great views of the river. This penthouse is unlike anything you will rent and it is very safe (with many locks and keys). A benefit is that there is a blow dryer in every bathroom. With that said, note that you will need to purchase toilet paper, shower items, and drinking water. There is a store within 10 minutes' walking distance to pick up these items. As long as you know this and are prepared to purchase these items, it will not seem like an inconvenience. We purchased extra bathing towels and hand towels as well since there was only one towel per person (4 people stayed in the penthouse).
