We loved the apartment it was perfect for our stay in Florence. The location is great for visiting all the sights and we loved returning to the buzzing piazza every night with so many restaurants. The terrace and its view is outstanding and worth every flight of stairs ! We were not particularly bothered by the noises in the piazza as it is quite far above. We actually enjoyed the atmosphere it gave. Stefano was helpful at all times with our enquiries. Would definitely return.
