The location is stellar. Beds were very comfy. The window in the shower was a nice touch, given no fan in the bathroom. Concierge for apartment was very responsive and nice. Easily walked to EVERYWHERE. Felt like a true Italy experience when hanging clothes on drying rack outside the window. When you stay here, you HAVE to go to the restaurant below the apartment (Osteria de Cicalini.... a family owned restaurant with great service and atmosphere, plus one of the best cheesecakes I've ever tasted).
Downsides...it's up three flights of stairs (60 plus stairs to be exact). The noises in town can be distracting to those sleeping in the bedroom closest to the street (taxis beep, church bells ring, and occasional sirens). No wash clothes (a cultural thing, so bring a sponge,). No kitchen trashcan. Washing machine was tiny and took about two hours per load.
Overall, a great experience... just want future travelers to know what to expect. We would stay here again if we are ever again in Florence.
PS Would love to see the owner leave a book of instructions, as we have found at other VRBOs, with the wi fi password, trash disposal options, etc.
