The location of the apartment is excellent to reaching many sites in Florence. The roof deck is also very unique, and provides great perspective to the City. We stayed at this apartment during a very warm week in June, and the air-conditioning is very limited. There is a rolling ac unit that is in front of the living room window, and this does little to cool the room, and nothing to cool the rest of the apartment. There are ceiling fans and two portable fan units, and again this did little to cool the apartment. There is no way to cool the place down unless you open the windows at night. Mosquitoes in Florence are terrible, and there is no way to keep them away (no screens, no mosquito nets). Although maybe a temporary issue, the building entrance also smelled terrible (like the sewer) and was dirty. The combination of stairs and heat did not make this apartment very welcoming, although for a group in Spring or Fall, it would probably work a lot better.
