Good location, but loud at night if windows open. It can get stuffy with the windows closed due to limited airflow, but the fans helped.

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay here - the apartment is nicely equipped with everything we needed. Everything is within walking distance yet the apartment still feels pretty quiet overall. This is an apartment for people who don’t mind the stairs as it is on the second floor and one bed is in the loft which requires using the ladder to go and up down as well.

Overall very nice property, however the stairs to apartment are challenging. Diego was very helpful upon our arrival, even carrying our luggage up all the stairs. The apartment is eclectic to say the least, but very clean & updated bathroom. The location of property is excellent, Vivoli right around the corner, Ufizi Gallery a short walk, Santa Croce Cathedral one block away. And so many excellent cafes & restaurants in this area. Taxi stand is about 1 block away, right across from Cafe Mario in front of Piazza.
