This is the perfect location for exploring Florence if you like being right in the middle of everything. We really enjoyed our week here. The place was comfy and cozy. Paolo was very responsive. His brother, Andrea, was helpful when checking us in, showing us how everything worked and answering questions. Our train was late and he was patiently waiting for us to arrive.
The kitchen is small but has everything you might need to cook in it. Even a cheese grater, which we used multiple times a day for the parmesan that we could not live without. The knives were sharp and there was an extra fold up counter if you needed more counter space. Two people could work in it, if needed.
The apartment is located on the 1st floor and the initial steps are steep but standard. There are five, slightly high, stairs leading up to the master bedroom. The master is large with lots of good light and desk for working, if you are so inclined. The master bed and single cot had good mattresses. We would stay here again.
