The location is perfect and the property is beautiful and interesting but it has some major challenges.
1. It requires in-person check in during a specific window otherwise you pay for early or late check in and when our flight was delayed it added insult to injury on a tough travel day.
2. It is on the 4th floor with no elevator. Not a big deal but worth considering if you have mobility issues or heavy luggage.
3. The washing machine is very small, max 3 shirts at a time and there is no dryer, drying rack, or line. We hung clothes all over the apartment and did 7 loads to wash 4 days of clothing on a long trip.
4. 2 bathrooms with no soap, body wash or shampoo so don’t forget toiletries and 2 towels for 5 days. These are small issues I’m sure management can fix.
5. We stayed during the heatwave (no one’s fault) but left the air conditioning at the lowest temperature all day and it never cooled the apartment below 81F (25C) any minute of the trip. Sleeping was a challenge.
The upside is the management is very communicative and the location is unbeatable across from Uffizi and 2 blocks from the Arno. I would recommend this stay for no more than 2 people, in a cool time of year for a short stay.
