We enjoyed our extended stay while visiting our daughter in Florence in this lovely apartment loft. It was easy walking distance to museums, the Arno river, the Duomo, shops and train station. Lots of fun places to eat nearby. We were able to cook when we felt like it or were on our own time. The market is very close and around the corner. The bed was comfortable and the comforter just right. It was fun to be able to look down on the street from the window. The stairs might not be for everyone, but we had no problem with them and actually got used to them! Overall, a fantastic experience!
