I was lucky enough to find this wonderful loft right in the heart of Sante Croce! I can't say enough great things about this space and the communication and care from Giuseppe and Paloma. Every thing was perfect and Paloma even check in on me via WhatsApp on the second day to make sure everything was going well. The apartment is easy to find and has one flight of stairs after you enter the building. Located on a side-street, across from a playground, there is light traffic and considerably less noise than other places I've stayed in Europe. I am a light sleeper and never needed earplugs! The kitchen is perfectly equipped for preparing meals...but why would you? You are in Florence! When I return, I'll definitely be staying here!
