The location near the Duomo was incredible and only a 10 minute walk from the train station. The apartment was spotless and a cool sanctuary from the heat of Florence. The upstairs patio is shared but there was never anyone up there and is accessible right outside the apartment door. My only comment would be the shower. It looked great but the water temperature fluctuated dramatically.
We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend the apartment, the location and the patio view!
