Rosy's apartment is cozy and quaint. Although not a large space, it has lots of natural light and a lovely view. Yes, you can get a larger apartment, but most likely you will trade the natural light. One must appreciate the historical value of this apartment and this building: da Vinci himself taught a student right in that living room! And the air conditioning was a life saver. Be forewarned that you must carry / drag your suitcases up several flights of stairs. We were a family of 4: 2 able bodied teenage boys and 2 very fit parents, and even we found it challenging. Rosy is an excellent host and a real pro, as she has made a career out of event planning and wedding planning. She provides a great deal of information and will also make every effort to spend some time with you at a caffe or bar to regale you with the history of Florence and, especially, Catherine de Medici (Rosy's favorite!). Rosy is an intelligent, passionate and very authentic Florentine!
