We loved Silvina and her apartment! It is a few blocks over the river in Oltrarno which is a fun area, a little less touristy than the city center, but very walkable to all of the major sights. The stairs were not nearly as bad as we expected based on others’ reviews. There are a lot and the stairwell is narrow but it is not that bad. We climbed them twice a day, once at my daughter’s nap time, and once in the evening. Carrying luggage might be tricky but we had backpacks so it was fine for us.
The apartment is lovely inside with stylish decor and an open feel. The bathroom is large and the two bedrooms are true separate rooms comfortable beds. There are about 5 stairs inside the apartment leading down to the bedrooms. This is the perfect place for a family of four to stay. Silvina was so great at check in, helping us navigate Florence. She was so gracious, kind, and helpful throughout our stay and we would definitely stay here again!
