Overall the CondottaSuite14 was perfect and a great experience! I stayed with my two friends and the location was ideal. Located on a side street (which means it's still quite quiet) just North of the Piazza della Signoria, it's a quick walk to the Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, Duomo and the Piazza della Repubblica -- a great central location especially if you only have a couple days in the city. You can easily stop off at the flat to drop off shopping bags or to freshen up.

There are 3 flights of stairs, but it wasn't a problem for any of us. The suite was even nicer than the pictures. Clean, bright with a lot of natural light, great shutters to keep out the light when sleeping and very comfortable furnishings. They've outfitted the suite with everything you might need to feel at home (from kitchen supplies to bath products). The beds and linens were very comfortable (Queen in a private room with a convenient half bath) and another room with 2 single beds (one was a cot, but still very comfortable). The full bath with shower was very clean with nice fixtures. The pictures of the suite on the profile are accurate, but even nicer in person. We're from Toronto, Canada and everything met our North American expectations =)

Nermin (Alessandro's wife) was waiting for us at the suite and carefully explained all of the details like how to use the keys or turn on the a/c. The hosts don't live in the suite, so in a way, it felt like our own place (and not like we were intruding amongst a stranger's possessions). They were extremely helpful with questions we had and were extremely warm -- they greeted us with a welcome gift and showed us their favourite local places.

We had a fantastic experience and no problems with the suite. Those of you drawn to the decor from the pictures will feel right at home (although maybe a fancier version of your home!) at CondottaSuite14.

A & N -- Thanks for making our post-work getaway such an easy and great trip.
