LOVED IT!!!
This place was beyond our expectation. It was perfect! The view from the terrace was spectacular and we were even able to see fireworks from it. Everything was absolutely perfect and by far our favorite stay in all of Italy.

Bargain flat in prime area
Perfect place to have a local experience at a great budget rate. Can accommodate parents with two young kids. Beware of noise levels into the night (earplugs strongly recommended) and difficulty bringing heavy bags up and down narrow stairway, which is typical of most flats in central Florence. Was a blessing having Christmas service at my favorite church in Florence just downstairs and being walking distance to all the shopping and action the town has to offer.

An well located apartment with a traditional decor
We stayed for 3 nights in early November and the apartment was charming and very well located. The beds are comfortable and I particularly like the decor, beautiful old traditional furnitures and the wooden beams on the ceiling. We have all that we need in the apartment.
