Location: Doesn’t get much better! You can walk to nearly any major site in Florence within a matter of minutes. The balcony has nice views of the neighboring rooftops and mountains, and the available outdoor clotheslines came in handy! We loved going to Rooster Cafe for breakfast which was just around the corner.
Accessibility: The 99 stairs were no problem for us, but please beware if you have heavy or large bags it’s going to be a challenge to move them in and out.
Apartment: Clean with all of the amenities you need. The washing machine took a minute to figure it out, but it worked well (turn the knob to the circle icon at 1:00 before selecting your wash type and it will turn on). We used the AC in the bedroom which is loud and drowns out any street noise. We could figure out the main apartment AC but were fine without it even on days that were pretty warm. The bed is firm but comfortable. The couch fabric is falling apart a bit, but with the balcony we didn’t end up ever even sitting on the couch anyway. Shower worked great and had separate handles for the rain shower head and detached hose.
Host: Monika was easy to communicate with and even let us check in a couple of hours early! She sent notes throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable.
We would stay here again!
