This space was so beautiful and lovely! The view from the balcony cannot be beat, and you are just steps away from the gorgeous cathedral. Florence is so small that you can cross the bridge and be in the more "local" part of the city in just a ten minute stroll. The streets are a bit loud at night, but no louder than living in NYC and hearing street sounds from your apartment. The interior was adorable, the bed comfortable, and the space clean. The walk up to the top floor apartment IS a lot of stairs (no elevator), but nothing that can't be conquered by folks who are already walking their way through the city. Just keep that in mind if you have a lot of luggage - it may take you multiple trips to bring things upstairs if you have more than a couple of bags. Federico's cousin, Varinia, welcomed us as we arrived and gave us a five star walk through of the space and highlights of Florence. The Restaurant recommendations they leave for you are GREAT - not touristy but friendly to tourists and absolutely delicious. Overall, a great spot!
