Nice apartment and great location if....
My family and I were very happy with this apartment. It’s location is excellent and right in the heart Florence’s sites, shopping, and restaurants. We easily walked everywhere we wanted to go... A nice change from the expensive taxis we had to take in other parts of Italy. Also, the apartment is well cared for and the management company was easy to deal with.
BUT, there are 78 tall and steep stairs that you need to climb to get to the apartment. We are a group of two fit adults and two teenage athletes who are very used to stairs. (We quickly, easily climb every tower and dome we can find in cities and love the experience.) The stairs leading to this apartment are so steep you’re almost stepping straight up rather than half up and half forward like a normal stair. Although this was only a fraction of the 500 stairs I usually climb in my gym workout, my legs burned every time I climbed the steep 78 stairs to this apartment. We didn’t mind and found experience interesting and kind of amusing. But if you have any difficulty at all climbing stairs (remember you will be carrying luggage/groceries sometimes) or are bringing along small children with strollers, you might want to look for another apartment.
Overall, if your group is in good physical shape and can climb 78 unusually steep stairs without assistance, I highly recommend this apartment.
