We absolutely loved our stay at this lovely apartment. Tastefully decorated with beautiful large windows over the Piazza Signoria. Amenities were thoughtful with small but perfectly appointed kitchen. It is in an old palazzo on the 2d floor overlooking one of the major squares of historic Florence so, yes, there is some noise at night. If that’s not for you, this is not the place, but we would definitely stay here again. Grazie Mille, Donatella!
