We have just returned from a few days in Florence staying in Samuel's apartment which must have one of the best views ever! The pictures do not do it justice as night and day, rain or shine you could stare at the Duomo for hours. Everything went well with arrangements for getting into the flat made very efficiently with Samuel being very helpful and accommodating on timing. His instructions were clear and we had no problems. The flat was clean and had all the equipment we needed. Its position within walking distance of everywhere could not have been better. It is true there are a lot of stairs and it is not the place for someone with any mobility problems or a good idea to bring heavy suitcases but going up and down keeps you fit and helps to work off all the wonderful food you can eat in the city! We would not hesitate to recommend the apartment or to book again if we return to Florence. Sian and Ben
