Walter and his wife were both very nice and accommodating people. Particularly when I had to leave, Walter went out of his way to let me keep the key to the building until the end of the day when I would have a car to pick up some heavy boxes from the lobby. It was so very helpful and I much appreciated it.

Apt location is great, perfect place for tourists, wifi was great, no problems. Kitchen is workable to make meals, and bed is comfy. I had no noise problems from any establishments in the area as some reviews said. The cars passing the street in front are loud, sounds reverberate off the sides of the building, esp in the summer when windows will be open. BUT that will happen with *any* local apartment in Florence with a room facing a street, just the way it is; it wasn't any particular fault of this one. Just something to keep in mind in general.

As some reviews have noted, elderly and larger people (my father comes to mind) would have trouble with the toilet that has 4-5 steep steps leading to it. I found the space by the shower next to the sink kinda tight, I ended up brushing my teeth in the kitchen most of the time. Shower is great, has nice water pressure, perfect after a long flight.

Overall recommended :)
