Our host greeted us on the street after arriving by bike. We had a lot of luggage and she helped us carry some of it up the many flights of stairs. The apartment is absolutely lovely - picture perfect Florence stay. As soon as we arrived, I went out to the balcony and was blown away by the Duomo's dome. Immediately, bells began to ring across the city - I knew I had reached heaven. Inside of the apartment the charm was off the charts. Art on the walls, antique furniture, great spacial design. The bed was very comfy and I could see both the Duomo and the Palazzo Vecchio from the bed. The price was the icing on the cake! The 6 flights of stairs were no match for the energy I gained from this fabulous city.
