Location, location, location! The building is old (duh), the stairwell can get kind of noisy at night but it has an elevator which is a godsend when you have luggage for a three week Italian vacation. The apartment is small but cozy and well equipped. The highlight of this place is walking out the big doors and looking right up at the Duomo! Breathtaking every time! Our host, Luca, was very nice and helpful with suggestions on restaurants and responded quickly to our questions as well. I highly recommend staying at this lovely little apartment while in Florence!
