This apartment is even better than the pictures show! They simplified the decor because it's minimalist but still beautiful. The place was also spotless - my husband ran his finger on a shelf and there was no dust. Makes you feel better for having to pay for a cleaning service when you book the place.
The balcony is unbelievable. There are three balconies - one off the living room, one off the kitchen and one off the main bedroom.
Check-in was super easy. There are several locks and we never felt unsafe leaving valuables in the apartment. There is an elevator which is great because the apartment is on the top floor and probably 8-10 flights of stairs. Once you take the elevator to the top floor, there is one short flight of stairs you have to take (no choice) before getting to the apartment. Not a big deal but just pointing it out in case someone is unable to climb stairs.
The only downside to the stay (which has nothing to do with the apartment itself) was that there was construction going on right outside of the building. So, very early in the morning there were guys piling up metal sheets and the sound was very disruptive.
You can't beat the location - you can walk everywhere and it's minutes from the Ponte Vecchico. We will `100% be back and book this apartment next time we are in Florence.
