By far the nicest AirBNB we have ever stayed in. This apartment is gorgeous and in a perfect location to see Florence. We really enjoyed everything about our experience here (host, linens, comfortable beds, great showers, great kitchen - - just everything!) The iron gate door to a back staircase that others have mentioned is not an issue at all. In fact it allows cool air into the apartment and leads to a private basement and is walled off if you were trying to go up the staircase. We had our 3 children with us and none of them were at all concerned about it. I highly recommend this apartment and will plan to stay here again.
