This is a beautiful apartment in a perfect location to explore Florence. Located immediately across from the entrance to Santa Croce, it is in on ideal location to explore Florence. There are lots of restaurants nearby and a great breakfast bar a few doors down the street.
The house was built many centuries ago so although it has been modernized it still has the character of a medieval building. The bedrooms are small but perfectly adequate and there is a good shower with plenty of hot water. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels were clean. There is a well appointed kitchen which we did not use. Although there is a nice living area the sofas and chairs are not that comfortable. Another important issue is that the apartment is on the third floor and there are many steps up and no elevator. So if you have a lot of luggage it can be exhausting getting everything upstairs. With two strong teenagers that wasn't a big issue for us but it would be if you had small children.
Because you are right on the Square the apartment is a bit noisy, and people stay up late so it doesn't quiet down for a while. The host Veronica who met us gave us excellent suggestions for where to eat and also provided laundry detergent so we could do laundry. She was very thorough with her explanations and we did not have any problems figuring things out. While we needed to be out of the apartment by 10 AM, there is a room downstairs where you can keep your luggage.
All in all this was a comfortable apartment in a perfect location.
