We loved this place and will stay here again on the next trip. Great view from the rooftop patio. A quick walk to the Duomo and San Lorenzo. Near the Central Market, where good food and drink abound (and sometimes music). Several markets nearby. All the kitchen tools you need to cook a yummy pasta dinner at home. We went in February and the apartment stayed warm. Beatrice was very responsive and gave us good recommendations. She's been easy to work with and fun to get to know over email. Things to note: There are 87 steps to the front door of the apartment - that's less that a quarter of the steps to the top of the Duomo! The bathroom is different than the pictures and now features a shower stall and no bidet. Coffee is made with an espresso maker. Beatrice and her place made our trip to Florence magical!
