The stay was as described and that is very important to me. Check in was confusing, but we figured out the doors to access. The host was quick to respond and helped us with checking in and what not. It is an old building and oddly shaped, but still a wonderful and quiet place to stay. It was hard to cool the place in June, but the cooler and fans helped a lot. Only 10 minutes to the Duomo!

The apartment was nice and within a walking distance to restaurants, cafes and most places of interests. The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore is only 7 to 10 minutes walk and so is the Museum, the Bell Tower (over 400 steps to the top) and the Baptistery of San Giovanni. All worth the visit. Apartment was fairly clean but the air conditioning did not reach the bedroom but sleeping with the windows open kept it cool enough. Be aware though if you are visiting from the US, even though it is in the first floor, you still have to climb some steep steps to the apartment, this is because in Italy, buildings start the count at floor 0 (zero). Overall it was a great stay, check in was easy as they started to communicate a few days ahead.

Felt just like home!

Had to walk 10 min from the house to pick up and drop off the keys. Otherwise the place was nice.
