Staying at Claudio's place in Firenze was a real pleasure for us. it's comfortable and has modern updates that give you the best of both worlds. I could do laundry (detergent provided) and dry it on the handy large drying rack. The wifi and AC really worked well and the beds were comfy. I loved pushing a button to close the blinds on the skylight in the master bedroom so the early morning sun didn't wake us! Travellers should be aware tho that the apartment is accessed by 4 flights of steep, narrow stairs. it was quite a work out to get 4 heavy suitcases up and later down. It may be difficult for older people or parents with young children. But on the flip side, there are amazing restaurants and the central market literally steps from your front door so we used the stairs to burn some calories!
