Ulisse was a very welcoming host with good communication. He even ran out to get us some provisions to kick off our stay. You can't beat the location right by the Duomo and walking distance to the major sights. Florence is much more manageable than Rome in that way. The apartment itself is clean and comfortable although it's 4th floor location is a challenge if accessibility is an issue (the elevator is tiny- about the size of a phone booth if you remember those). The street noise is quite loud at night if the windows are open but when closed the sound is cut dramatically. We were a family of 4 with 2 young teens and the ample space worked well for us. We appreciated the host's flexibility in allowing us to leave our bags for a couple of hours after check out. We all recommend Ulisse's place for your Florence stay.
