This cute little apartment located in the center of Florence is close to most tourist attractions. The host send us precise instructions on how to get there and was waiting for us on our arrival. The apartment was spotless. This rental, however, had three drawbacks . First, and foremost, a late check-in time: 4:30 PM, meaning that unless you arrive late your first day in Florence is almost lost (it was for us). You can leave our luggage at the train station but the price is rather steep (5 euros for each piece of luggage for up to 5 hours). The second drawback of this apartment is its size, it is small with capital letters. Your luggage is likely to occupy most of the living space. To get into the bed you have to crawl into the loft space. The (iron) stairs that go to the upper loft cut into the bathroom and you are likely to get a couple of bumps on your head. The third drawback are the stairs. You have to walk two floors through narrow and steep stairs to get into the apartment.

In summary, I think that this apartment is perfect for one (young) guest who is planning to arrive late to Florence. Older folks, people with orthopedic impairments or short term visitors (for whom—like us—a lost day is a big deal) should, perhaps, consider somewhere else.
