Our family stayed at 11 different places during a long European vacation, and of all of those, we enjoyed Andrea's place the most. The location was great but that can be said about a number of places. What differentiated Andrea's place was the thoughtfulness put towards our stay. The fridge and pantry were stocked with useful items, groceries, and treats. Not just leftovers from prior stays, but things like yogurt, juice, water bottles, and other things we found ourselves shopping for at other places we stayed. The place was well updated, everything felt new and fresh, and the high-quality windows blocked out enough sound that we never heard the hustle and bustle below Andrea was a fantastic host as well, meeting us for check-in (helping us carry our luggage up) and check-out (helping us with calling a cab). There is no elevator, it's on the 2nd floor (what we in the US would consider the 3rd floor), but we had a 3 year old and a couple of folks in their mid-60s with us and no one had a complaint. There's a number of great restaurants for sit-down or take-out ("asporto" in Italian, I think) just within a block, and Piazza Della Signoria is incredibly close.
