Absolutely fantastic location for exploring old Florence. A cozy place tucked up in a 14th century building with a rooftop view makes you feel you can imagine being there when Florence was younger and the Duomo had just been built. The view of the bell tower in Piazza della Signoria from the terrace is spectacular day and night. A manageable walk from the train station (with luggage - we did it and it was fine). As noted in other reviews, apartment stairs are not suitable for babies/toddlers or elderly people, or people traveling with a lot of bulky or heavy luggage (baby strollers, car seats, etc.). EXCELLENT air conditioning. Lovely snacks left by the host in a small but well-appointed kitchen. Quiet at night, comfortable beds, extra blankets/pillows, etc., with a terrific outdoor space you'll want to enjoy. We had a great time in Florence with Rosella’s place as our home base. She was very helpful and responsive when I had questions and she clearly cares about helping her guests enjoy her beautiful city.
