We just returned from 3 days/nights in this apartment and were very pleased. There were 6 of us, 3 adults and 3 children (ages 10, 13 &16). The apartment is close to all the sights and it was very fun to look out the window at the activity on the street. Sara, the woman who showed us in, was wonderfully helpful and met us earlier than our check in time so we could put our bags inside while we went to eat. She answered all of our questions about restaurants and places to visit while we were in Florence and Italy. There are a lot of stairs, which we didn't mind at all because it was wonderful to be up high for the view - my 73 year old mother in law was able to manage them fine. Overall we were thrilled with this apartment and would recommend it.
