Wow. One long block from il Duomo!!!! OMG, we walked out the door and looked left and there was the heart of the Renaissance. Florence is quite compact and you can easily walk to every main site from this apt.
Completely functional kitchen and bath. Very comfortable for a family of 4 or two couples. Air condition is adequate but only for the bedroom.
Quiet and Clean.
The power tripped while we were staying and the host was there in 5 minutes to reset it.
Only two minor downsides. First is that it would be nice to have two sets of keys- perhaps with a big deposit this could be arranged- it would have made our visit much more flexible.
Second, at the last minute the check in time was made to be no later than 5p because our host had made dinner plans outside of Florence and could not arrange for anyone else to give us the keys. This was a moderate hit to our plans inasmuch as it was our only day in the Tuscan countryside with a car and we had planned to check in later.
Overall, a tremendous base for our time in Florence.
