Perfect location — out of the major hustle and bustle but in a lively and fun square. The apartment is on the top floor and faces southwest, away from the Piazza, so it’s quiet. There is a small lift at the first floor which can help with baggage but otherwise be prepared for the stairs, as other reviews have mentioned. My boyfriend and I found Florence in general to be extremely walkable and even though we were on the opposite side of the Arno, it was easy enough to get to major touristy sites. We felt safe and comfortable in the neighborhood and Lorenzo was a gracious host. We definitely recommend this place, for the cozy accommodations and the great location! P.S. the bed is super comfy! We had a tough time getting up every day.
