Location! Location! Location! Just steps from the Duomo di Firenze, this apartment is close to everything in the old city center!. The building is centuries old, giving it a lot of character, but also making it a bit of a challenge. The stairs are well worn from centuries of use and have some spots that are uneven. The lights in the staircase are on a timer, so it’s important to be very careful especially at night. There are light switches as you climb the stairs that can reset the timer. Sometimes in the old city center sewer gasses can accumulate in low areas. When we first entered the building using the main door to the street the smell was very strong. The apartment is on the third floor but the smell would at times enter the space. The odor issue is typical of the city center and should not reflect poorly on the overall good quality of this property. Note that the apartment is located in a pedestrian only zone. Cars are not allowed, with few exceptions (taxis). If you are up for a lot of walking and stair climbing with luggage, this place is great. The apartment was immaculately clean, comfortable, and inviting. The Mamo staff was very helpful and even let us store our luggage in their office until the late afternoon of our check out day at no extra charge. Communication was very easy. They even provided helpful multilingual suggestions and tips via QR codes in the room. We enjoyed our stay.
