What a great find in the beating heart of Florence. This place was so roomy and charming. If you're looking for a place to stay to really make you feel like a Florentine local, this loft is absolutely a must. The shops and restaurants on the street below are wonderful. I will note that even for an able-bodied young couple, the 3 flights of stairs were a bit much with 2 suitcases. But if you travel lighter than us, it shouldn't be a problem! Also, for those looking to cook at the loft, plan to bring your own seasonings and cooking accoutrements, as the loft's is quite sparse. This wasn't a problem for us though as we spent every night out at one of the nearby restaurants. Overall a lovely stay in a beautiful city!
