Fantastic apartment in nice area. Exactly as it looks in the pictures

Quiet, safe, cozy and beautiful
We stayed at this property for 4 nights in Mar 2023. It is exactly as described in the pictures. Very charming! Equipped with everything you need. Enough room for a family if 4 (2 teenage kids). Walking distance to all the sights and great restaurants! Save some energy after walking around Florence for the 5 floor walk up the stairs. Very quiet building, which we appreciated after being in Rome where we heard everything from the street below. Stained glass window in the shower was beautiful but oddly placed but there was a bar to hang a towel over the window for more privacy. So it wasn't an issue Small washer and clothes line were used and appreciated! Felt like a local hanging our clothes out the window! Don't hesitate to booked this home. You won't regret it!
