This was a lovely apartment. The stairs, as mentioned elsewhere were no joke, but worth it for the view. We had a lovely Christmas morning in the top room. The location was great as well--walk one block East for locals' Florence and everything touristy is convenient to the immediate West and South.It was not too loud at Christmas (other than church bells), but we were just up from the foreign students fave bar (The Lion's Fountain) which is probably noisier at other times.
Awesome property! Great check in process, the place was very safe and right beside our pasta making class. If you're a fan of partaking in night life this property rocks! We went and met a bunch of other foreign exchange students and had a blast. The view from the property was incredible as well! Highly recommend!
Perfect area for sightseeing. Everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. However, there are 7 flights of stairs which were difficult to climb with luggage.
Beautiful views. Very unique place in great area. somewhat dated. Just be prepared, to stay in such a unique place, there are a lot of stairs. This is our second stay here.
This place is as advertised. Yes, there are a lot of steps but I think it was worth it to climb for an almost 360 degree view of the city from the top floor. You can see the Duomo, Santa Croce, Palazzo Vechio and everything in between. Loved the old feel to the building.
Besides the peeling paint on the ceiling and walls and the two twin size beds lashed together ( it was advertised as a queen bed) and the rope railing which came out of the wall walking up the spiral staircase and almost killed my cousin, and the coffee pot that malfunctioned everything was great.
This place is spectacular. The views are incredible. We had a blast making a dinner of pesto pasta in the kitchen (it has everything you need except paper towels!). Just be ready to climb some stairs. I would not recommend this place if you have rolling luggage. Much easier with backpacks!
We loved staying at this apartment!You get the feel of how the old style Itlalian living was.There are LOTS of stairs getting to the apartment and in the apartment itself but it is so worth it!The living room area is way up at the top of this building and the view we had up there was amazing! We got to see some beautiful sunsets from up there.The apartment is also in a great location, close to many restaurants, bars and shops and just a short walk to main attractions/museums.We all would highly recommend staying here!
We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable apartment with 2 large bedrooms and a loft overlooking Florence. 2 great bathrooms and very nice kitchen. Be warned.. 96 steps from the ground floor to the apartment. Once inside 3 grand floors of old world charm.
