We really enjoyed our stay in Florence at Stefano's. We were within short walking distance to the most delicious Restorantes and the Duomo is the most magnificent building we had ever seen. Even though it's located on the 3rd floor with steep stairs the elevator really came in handy getting the luggage up and the guests who didn't feel like climbing stairs. The appt. is decorated in authentic Italian/Venetian style which we really enjoyed as it lends to the whole experience. The terrace is an added bonus to have an outdoor space as we didn't see any others in the area so it made us feel special. All the bedrooms were generous in size and comfortable. Plenty of hot water in the back two bathrooms but not sure why the front didn't have any. Overall I would recommend staying here to get a true feel of Firenze living.
