Ciro provided a very warm welcome to Florence and the apartment was exactly as described. The apartment was comfortable with some personal touches like Ciro's father's art and also very spacious. Ciro also provided some helpful tourist tips which were much appreciated.

The location was superb and the views fantastic - for a short stay, it's so worthwhile to be in the centre of the city. You walk outside and all the delights of Florence are within a few minutes walk. The view really is that good and it's great to look down and people watch both the locals and other tourists.

The only downside is the noise although in truth, only the busy Saturday night vs the Sunday & Monday we stayed and Ciro does accurately explain this in the description and the ear plugs were useful! However, this is the trade off for the location and in our mind, definitely worth it.

All in all, a very pleasant stay and excellent value for the price!
