We enjoyed our week long stay in Florence. The apartment is clean and comfortable. We did not cook meals in the apartment but did enjoy our morning coffee that was stocked in the kitchen The living area does face the busy piazza below and may be a bit loud especially during the warmer months when the windows are open, but it does quiet down at night and the bedrooms are located on the other side where it is quieter. There isn’t an elevator in the building so be prepared to walk up and down a few flights of stairs (nothing too horrible). The location was perfect for our needs and in walking distance to the center of town, tourist attractions and great restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!
