70 steps to get to the apartment. It's totally worth it...modern, clean, spacious, fantastic location very close to the Duomo with very responsive hosts. But be warned about 70 steps. The first 30 can be avoided by taking the elevator to the first floor; the remaining 40 cannot and are narrow which makes it hard to carry large suitcases. A few minor problems with the kitchen...2 of the 3 pans didn't work on the induction stove and the microwave door didn't lock so it wouldn't work. Just across the street are a grocery store, great breakfast spot, and the BEST cafe (Buca Niccolini). One of our favorite memories of Florence will be the chocolate macchiatos there with Alessandro the morning we checked out!
