Loved this place!

The penthouse is a beautiful, spacious apartment that is perfectly located in the heart of Florence. There were eight of us (family and friends, all female). Some shared beds but a few of us had our own room. Mike was great. He answered all of our questions upon arrival and even followed up with some shopping recommendations the next day.

The apartment is in walking distance to all of the major sights, piazzas and the central train station. We walked everywhere except to the airport.

As others have said, the only drawback are the stairs. It is a third floor penthouse which means four flights up from the entrance. Our group, including three seniors (ages 64, 65 and 78), had no issues going up or down.

We also made arrangements for the chef, Michele (not the owner, by the way), to prepare a meal on our last night there. It was superb!

If I return to Florence with a larger group (5 or more), we will stay here. Highly recommended!
