Two things about this apartment are outstanding. First, it's giant. Our family of four stayed for an entire month and it felt like a home. Large bedrooms, huge closet spaces, separate kitchen from dining room. Washer, dishwasher. Living room is fabulous, plus there is a desk and additional area., not to mention 2 full bathrooms. Shower was great and bathtub was perfect for the kids. The second fabulous detail is the location. Florence is packed with tourists to the point it's hard to walk. But Raffaela's apartment is on the opposite side of the pedestrian zone than all the hotels and hoards of people, yet the exact same distance to all the sights... you just come from the other direction. And across the way is the most fabulous square for restaurants and shops. And if that's not enough, the best supermarket in town is a 2 minute walk. Be aware there is a nightclub open till 4am directly across the street, and it's not uncommon for some drunk to yell in the street. But from the bedrooms, the double pane glass and shutters keep out almost all the noise. If you planned to use the living room as a bedroom, that may be a different story.
