While the advert describes this apartment as having a lift to it, you need to be aware that the lift only goes to the third floor and then you need to ascend two flights of extremely cramped and steep stairs to get to the actual flat. We had a lot of luggage and a 12 week old baby, pram, etc and this proved to be an extreme challenge. We would NOT have stayed here if this had been accurately described. Once in the apartement the air condition ing did not work because the remote was missing. It took 24 hours (a long hot night with a screaming child) to get it working. Finally note that you are not dealing with an individual when renting this apartment you are dealing with a rental company with a large pool of rentals. There is absolutely NO personal touch.

Now, about the actual flat... the views, as described, are unmatched in Florence. You feel like you are living the view from the moment you awake to the moment you go to sleep. The apartment, while extremely small, is well equipped and extremely well thought out in order to get everything to fit. For the right type of traveller (ie - no infants and small luggage) this will make a fantastic and very intimate place to stay.
