The location of the apartment could not have been better for access to all the top Florence sights. Water, plumbing, AC all worked well. The beds were all comfortable and seem pretty new. We loved being able to all sit in the living room during or at the end of the day to discuss our experiences and plans for the following day. We did not cook, but the coffee maker, refrigerator and microwave worked well. It was fun to open the windows at 17:30 each day to see and hear the church bells right across the piazza! Great experience staying here.
