This is not the property for you if you have accessibility issues. Or if you like everything neat and tidy, consistent and predictable. This apartment has been converted out of the stables of a 15th Century Town Palace, this means walls in odd places, different floor heights, tight spiral staircase, and old plaster painted over, there is not a lot of natural light, I think this is what most bad reviewers pick up on, so if you like big natural windows and views you will not find them here. However. It has quirk and charm, it's spacious and the meet service is very good. The location is great, just a stroll away from the Pitti palace. Hundreds of proper restaurants (rather than tourist ones). Piazzas, specialist shops, and 10 minutes walk from the Ponte Vecchio. And a spectacular wine shop next door. It is good value for money. The only thing I would say is that the bathrooms are small and in need of a refit. However, I do appreciate that with the age and structure of the building there is nowhere else the can reasonably go and there is no room for any other layout. The bathrooms are not pretty, but they do their job. Some reviews say noisy, but it is not noisy - it is just in the middle of a city, for a city apartment it is in a quiet street and not noisy at all. Everything you want in Florence is within a 20 minute walk.
