If you want to be in the heart of this beautiful city, stay here. One of the largest, most spacious apartments I've seen. Great for our family of five. We loved being in the main area. Easy to people watch out the window. As mentioned, it's six or so flights of stairs, we didn't mind, it got shorter as our stay progressed. Also felt good to exercise after all the pasta. This is a central location and with it comes the noise of the city. We slept fine in the comfortable beds. The windows blocked the street noise somewhat and earplugs did the trick for the light sleepers. Ilaria was so very warm and kind. Gave us awesome suggestions and gave us the name of a private guide. It was so great, and more cost effective than a tour. She also helped with taxi transfers. I loved this place and felt at home. Would definitely stay again, should we come to Florence.
