Lion 32

The apartment is well located, a little away from the main busy streets of Florence but not so far away that you can't walk to anything you would want to visit as a tourist. I received very clear instructions on how to access the property from the friendly host, including a video. The main room, main bedroom and en-suite are a decent size and we were able to cook a few meals while staying using the kitchen equipment provided. The roof-top terrace was a nice bonus, though we didn't get to use it much as one of our party wasn't confident climbing the stairs up to it, and there were only two chairs.

A fantastic addition for the English traveller would be a kettle - we boiled a lot of pans of water to keep our tea levels topped up! Anyone planning on utilising the upstairs bedroom and bathroom needs to be aware that it is a tight staircase (difficult with a suitcase), the steps heights are quite high and a lot of it is restricted head height. I did bump my head quite a few times and I was trying to be careful! You also need to climb several flights of stairs to access the property, so do be aware if you are travelling with anyone with limited mobility. A few other quibbles - the bed in the main room creaks a lot when you move at night and if you want to use the dishwasher or washing machine you will need to bring your own consumables.

Great area, very clean and comfortable.

Beautiful apartment - lovely living area, full of natural light & gorgeous views from the balcony and bedroom.
