We recently visited Italy and stayed at Stefano’s place in Florence. I highly recommend staying here as it is very centrally located to major attractions. We walked to Ponte Vecchio, Duomo, Academia to see David.. plus there were so many little shops and restaurants to try. It made us feel like locals There isn’t an elevator and the apartment is on the third floor however it wasn’t bad at all! There’s so much walking throughout the day a few extra stairs was no big deal :)
