We couldn't have hoped for a better place to stay to visit Florence for the first time – seriously. You have to climb some floors up a rather narrow staircase, but if you don't mind that, the apartment itself is beautiful and spacious. The bed was comfortable. The mezzanine with the desk was a perfect workspace for my trip. The kitchen had everything you could need, if you wanted to cook for yourself. But the single best feature of the apartment is the location, down a quiet street, but only a very short walk to the busy centre – or the nearest supermarket – and there are very nice restaurants just a few doors along.
