This is a fabulous apartment in the center of Florence, literally steps away from Piazza della Signoria and a few blocks away from Il Duomo. The apartment is clean, comfortable, well decorated, with a lot of light, and with everything you need for your stay in Florence. It is on the fourth floor (for Americans) and there is no lift. You come in through the building’s front door which is locked to the outside and then you go up the stairs to the separate apartment. My adult daughter and I stayed here for a few days at the end of July. Alessandro was a gracious host and met us personally at the apartment to show us everything. There are two nice-sized bedrooms-one with a large queen bed (perhaps king?) and the other with two single beds. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the bed linens and towels were of nice quality. Each bedroom has its own ac unit which can be individually controlled for comfort. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom with toilet, sink and bidet. In the hallway, there is a complete bathroom (toilet, sink and shower). The kitchen was clean, stocked with whatever we needed, and had an espresso machine with coffee capsules for our use. The living room/dining room was comfortable, with a flat screen tv, and also had its own separate ac unit. (AC units worked wonderfully during out stay-they are strong units so if you like it cold, that won’t be a problem.) Wifi was fast and we were able to use it without a problem. Alessandro was also very kind to offer us a bottle of wine for our stay. We were able to see so many of the beautiful sights by walking everywhere: to Il Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, the Arno, Uffizi Gallery, etc. We only used a taxi to and from the train station-but we also could have walked there and back had we wanted to (probably a 15-20 minute walk to main train station). There are plenty of wonderful restaurants, cafes, stores near the apartment. Though centrally located, the apartment was quiet and we were never bothered by any noise. We felt safe and had no problems whatsoever. I would happily stay here again on my next trip to Florence. You won’t be disappointed!
