This very interesting property will be best enjoyed by those looking to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a bygone era. The apartment is perfectly located near the Arno and had enough bedrooms/bathrooms for our group of 5. There is a complicated locking process, which our host was careful to explain and have us practice. The small elevator only fits one person + suitcase and we chose to walk the ~70 stairs except to transport our bags upon check-in/checkout. The main floor of the apartment is quite large, with big windows and a huge crystal chandelier. The entryway and living room are so packed with the owner’s collection of antiques that we found it interesting rather than comfortable. Given the age of the building, it is not surprising that many marble floor tiles are broken and crunch underfoot. The three couches, covered with loose slipcovers, sink uncomfortably low but the upstairs sitting room was quite comfortable. As others have mentioned, the walls are covered with art, many with a description in multiple languages of the artist and subject. The master bedroom beam is very low and all beds were soft but comfortable, with good lighting. We couldn’t find the advertised queen bed so one couple shared the Library, which has two twins. Bathrooms are a bit dated and there is some disrepair. The kitchen is quite striking, with stripes of contrasting marble. And to complete the Florentine experience, we thoroughly enjoyed the rooftop deck at night, with the Duomo lit up just a few streets away.
