This property is a wonderful place to base yourself in for a stay in Florence. It's situated off the beautiful Piazza Santo Spirito, with fine restaurants and a market, and within 5 mins of the Boboli Gardens and Ponte Vecchio.
While it should be noted that there are a _lot_ of stairs to get into the property, when you do climb them you find yourself with a lovely feeling of being above the city, able to look out over the rooftops to the Pitti palace, and far away from the hubbub of the piazza.
The property is very much a professional rental, so don't expect a lived-in feel. It was _spotlessly_ clean though, and very comfortable.
The balcony is an amazing addition, and we found ourselves sitting on it each morning at breakfast in complete peace.
