This is a wonderful, quirky flat in the center of Florence, walking distance from just about everything. The 58 steep, narrow, sometimes dark stairs to the flat are a challenge with luggage, but once inside it's totally worth the climb: big and airy, with a lot of interesting touches and hand-done woodwork. The layout is a bit odd--the building is hundreds of years old, after all--but the kitchen, bath, and electrical system are all very clean, up to date, and spacious. Just around the corner is Perche No, which has the BEST gelato ever.
