This was a beautiful apartment right in the historic district of Florence. It seems we were adjacent to all of the main action, but that was a good thing for my companions and I. We were just a few minutes walk from everything but not on top of all the noise. 5-10 minutes to the train station, 10-15 minutes to the duomo, and 5 minutes to the river.
The unit is a couple of floors up, so if you have any issues carrying luggage, that may dampen the experience from the beginning, but our arrival was smooth. My companions arrived first and were greeted nicely by Pam. When we checked out, some of us had later trains, so she let us keep our bags there while they cleaned.
The apartment itself was pretty with beautiful old ceilings and tall windows to let the light in. We had warm May days, but the it didn't get too hot in there. There was more than adequate lounging area for 4 people. All the amenities worked fine, Wifi can get spotty as with most AirBnb's I find, but it wasn't a constant trickle like some places. The beds were comfortable. Even though the double bed is a floor up, it is sort of the same room as the two single beds, just lofted. The second floor has pretty low ceilings, so I wouldn't recommend a very tall person to stay up there, but if you watch your head, you will be fine.
Pam and Maddalena were great hosts, very communicative, and flexible enough to accommodate our fluid plans. If you're looking for an old world Italian experience without compromising on some modern comfort, this is definitely a spot for that.
