I thought the view was too good to be true based on the pictures, but it really is exactly as amazing as it looks! We loved our stay here. The washing machine was very convenient and important for us. There are so many restaurants in the few blocks around the apartment. It is very centrally located to the biggest sights in Florence. Michelangelo was very gracious to let us check-in early on the day that we traveled in to town with our large backpacks.
