The apartment is straight out of a magazine shoot. Beautiful architectural building from the 1500s, stylish grand modern interiors, great amenities and touches throughout, and so clean!
A couple things that were a surprise to me. The apartment is an equivalent to a fourth-floor walk up with no elevators. This is not a problem for me but I can see it could be an issue if you are not capable or have very heavy luggage.
The noise from the street was a surprise. The apartment is so quiet during the day that the noises from revelers at night took me by surprise. On the weekend it was loud from midnight to 3AM. Lots of people chanting all night. I can see that the owners already upgraded the window with double-glazed glass. However, the narrow Florentine street is like an echo chamber and amplified the sound even more. I turned on the table fan which helped drowned out the sounds. The owners also provided earplugs if you need them.
Overall, the apartment is a very good value. It is super beautiful - on par with a very high end hotel. The location is so central. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
