The apartment was quiet (except for the church bells in the morning from Santa Croce, which were charming) and spacious. It was also somewhat worn and a few things didn't work as well as they should have (only one working AC controller, for example). In addition to the stairs leading up to the apartment, there is also a flight of stairs inside, plus a circular stair to the loft and outdoor terrace, so anyone not comfortable with stairs should take note. The location is perfect, on a quiet street near the Santa Croce, 10-minute walk from the Uffizi and other major attractions. The kitchen was well equipped, but there is also an excellent coffee bar (Artiginale) right at the corner. Sid was responsive and accommodating to both an early checkin and a late checkout the day we left.
