This was just a fabulous point from which to visit Florence. The apartment is just as described....the view of the rooftops and the dome of the Duomo is charming and the apartment was cleaner and newer than we would have expected! The bathrooms are newly updated and are done with very good taste. Rosy was very helpful and met us at the apartment when we arrived in order to give us a nice history of the place, the town, and also many suggestions about places to eat, etc. The beds were comfortable (but the mattresses are quite hard...just be prepared). The linens, towels, and other amenities are just as you would expect. Everything was very "homey." Rosy provides a booklet that details all the rules, recommendations, and policies that you will need. It's only about a 5-minute walk to the Duomo! And about a 10-minute walk to Santa Croce church. About 15 minutes to the Ponte Vecchio. There is a 3-story hike up the stairs into the apartment (which is the top floor) so be prepared for that! (No elevator.) But don't worry, it's worth it! Oh, did I mention there is free wifi?
