Frederico's apartment is in the perfect location in Florence. Two minutes from the Uffizi and just a few minutes more from the Ponte Vecchio.
It is on the back of the building on a quiet street so sleeping was not a problem.
We were met by Constanza who was only too happy to spend time giving us tips about where to go and where to eat.
The apartment should come with two cautions though. The sleeping platform upstairs is accessed by a narrow staircase which has a handrail but no side to the stairs. Once up there you have to be VERY aware of he large beam just before the bed. My husband managed to whack his head straight away. The bed is then the exact width of the platform so to get in and out you have to duck under the beam and then climb onto the bed. Again there is no high side to the platform - just a hand rail - so scary if you roll out of bed the wrong way!
The second thing is that the bathroom is downstairs and so if you are the kind of person who visits the toilet during the night then you will have to do what my husband did and sleep on the sofa bed downstairs as negotiating the beam and the narrow stairs in the dark could be quite dangerous.
I was never brave enough to walk over the glass gangway to look at the view out of the only window as I suffer from vertigo but I gather that it was lovely.
This apartment is probably best suited to younger couples and is definitely not recommended for children. You would need eyes in the back of your head to make sure that they were either not falling through the stairs or off the platform upstairs!
