We (5 adults requiring 4 bedrooms) stayed at Federico's apartment for 10 days. This is a unique experience with all the statues and paintings which will live long in the memory. The apartment is not without its issues, it is at the top of three flights of stairs and while there is a lift it is very small, two people max. Hot water use needs co-ordination there always is some but as has previously been noted it is an old building. There are no modern entertainment facilities however the WiFi is super quick and satisfied the most demanding users. The stairs up and down within the apartment are steep but there is a large bedroom downstairs and another single room up three steps so it can be made not too arduous.
It is in the city centre so it can be a little noisy but nothing that wouldn't happen in any main city. Of course the advantage of that is that you are near all the sights. A stones throw from the Arno, 5 mins to Uffizi and Duomo it really couldn't be better located.
All bedrooms have good A/C, important with temps in the 30's. Read the description of bed sizes they are slightly at odds with the summary. The main bedroom has a sloping roof which limits access for some. The lounge and mezzanine provide ample space for relaxing along with the fantastic terrace which while small provides a view of Duomo and is a great area to watch the sunset after a hard days sightseeing (it seats at least 7). There are three bathrooms offering ample facilities. The kitchen is small and the equipment is old, but functional including gas hob, double oven, microwave and fridge freezer plus an Italian and drip coffee maker along with dishwasher and washing machine.
There is an eclectic collection of crockery and glasses sufficient for our party and when we asked for some wine glasses they were delivered the next day.
Apart from all the functional characteristics there is this wealth of artefacts, statues and paintings which make this a unique experience. Marble floors, chandelier and period furniture which adds to the charm and uniqueness of the apartment and yes while it has some faults the surroundings forgive all that.
Frederico is quick at responding to requests and very accomodating. My wife and I both celebrated birthdays during our stay and one day a bunch of flowers and bottle of wine appeared with two notes from Frederico. A lovely touch!!
Would thoroughly recommend Apartment Galleria
