This lovely, spacious loft apartment is a great value for the money, in one of Florence's most desirable historic districts and in a stately quattrocento palazzo steeped in history. The piano is in totally reasonable condition for practicing, and the ample seating is great for recovery time from walking the city. The ample storage space is also well appreciated, and you have no idea how much you will value a washing machine until you have travelled more than three days :) If you have any kind of mobility issues, this place may not be for you as the stairs are numerous and there is no elevator. You will also want to bring ear plugs, as the nightlife scene down below can get quite noisy, which is something over which the hosts, of course, have no control. Federica was delightful to deal with and I would gladly stay here again.
