Oh the stairs! There is a steep, narrow climb of two flights of stairs before arriving to the front door. Not recommend for those of a certain age, claustrophobic, or with lots of luggage. Unfortunately, one of the hall lights was out and so we couldn't see half way up. We were told it would be replaced the next day but the next day BOTH lights were out and we needed flashlights to navigate the steep stairs.
This place was beautiful inside! The master bedroom downstairs was big with high ceilings and space to unpack. The middle bedroom upstairs is where I stayed and it was perfect except no where to unpack your belongings. You should be forewarned these are steep stairs to access this room. The additional loft from the kitchen is barely a room. Also with steep stairs to access the room, the ceiling is so low you can't stand up. I am 5'5" and had to crawl around when my mom whom is 5'10" was staying up there, also no where to unpack her belongings in that room.
Location, Location, Location! Despite some silly errors this place is in my opinion in a great spot! We walked as far as Michelangelo Square! Some thought that was far, we took to that distance about every day. Excellent gelato (don't let anyone tell you different) Emporium Gelato, walking distance along the river. Piazza di Pitti, shopping, and restaurants everywhere about 4 blocks away which is nice to not be right in the middle of the crowds. A block away from the river front this location was excellent. Stayed across the river when we visited the Duomo, but walkable from this place.
We never got to meet the host but his assistant Elena was very nice upon check in. I would recommend this place for sure and would love to return next year with friends.
