The pictures of the apartment do not do this space justice. The flat is light bright and airy. The deck was a wonderful retreat after a day of walking the streets of Florence. The only word to wise is if you are tall like my partner and me - the bedroom ceiling slants and has beams because it is at the roof line, if you stand up too quickly from the bed on one side you might bump your head if not careful. It wasn't an issue or a deal breaker just something to be careful if you are ~6ft tall. We loved our stay at Laura's - it was a quiet oasis from the bustle of Florence.
