Our hosts Artan & Lisa were great! The apartment fit all 8 of us adults easily, except my dad and I kept hitting out heads on the beam in the loft! ;-) We had some small issues with the apartment initially, but Artan came over right away and helped us out.

The only other issue was the very large step outside which was a little difficult for my mom-in-law to get up, but manageable. The apartment is located after one flight of stairs which was definitely doable for her.

We used his service to get from the train terminal to the apartment as we had quite a bit of luggage, but you can walk from the train terminal to the apartment if needed.

We also used Artan for two different tours. The first was a driving/walking tour of Florence that was all day and was very nice. Artan knows his art and gave us a wonderful tour of the historical part of Florence as well as the Academia.

The second tour was a driving tour out to Siena and Sam Gimignano. The cities were lovely, but the highlight of the tour was a trip out to Casamonti to see Annarita!

The apartment is large and situated right near the Academia and the historical part of Florence. There's a wonderful pastry shopped located nearby and a 99 cent store across the street!

I would definitely recommend this apartment!
