wonderful location. stairs not for the frail or faint of heart. constanza made us feel very welcome and her attention to detail, including restaurant lists and arrangements for taxi on the day of our departure were very nice touches.. very noisy toilets. and a bit of bread and milk for coffee would be nice on arrival after all 42 steps up.
we found a nice thing (especially good for seniors and persons wirh limited mobility)on our own which made firenze even better. one can hire a little electric car for up to 5 persons. It comes with a driver and explanations in a variaty of languages and allows one to see all the major sights in 1 1/2 hours without wearing out your legs. its stops at major points for picture taking. very friendly and nice way to see the city for 29euros each
