This was a great place to stay and very close to the major sites of Florence. Access is limited to a set of circular stairs and I would not recommend it to people with mobility issues but otherwise it was carefully and well appointed once inside. We had been in Italy for two weeks and when we arrived in Florence. This was the first place we stayed that had a shower - real plus for Americans. We were treated with great care before and during out stay by Andrea our host. He was exceptionally prompt in responding to our e-mails before arriving and met us at the apartment when we arrived by taxi. Andrea gave us a great brief on the apartment and was very helpful in scheduling a taxi when as we prepared to depart. Andrea was a great host!
