This is a wonderful, bright, spacious apartment right in the heart of Florence. The bed was exceedingly comfortable, and the cabinets were stocked with whatever you need to make coffee in the morning (though we didn't), which is a nice touch. The bathroom, though down a short flight of stairs, is large and comfortable (with a tub!) and excellent water pressure in the shower, and plenty of places to put your things down. The light was good, there was shampoo and conditioner and soap and plenty of nice toilet paper, and the towels were very nice. A word of warning - if you wash clothes - there is no dryer. Lorenzo, our host, was charming and helpful and available for any questions we had - even those not pertaining to our stay in the apartment. We hope to visit there again - it's been lovingly and beautifully kept up.

After spending a week in Florence, I would highly recommend having a very centrally located apartment, which means as close to the Duomo as you can get, but on the Arno River side. The Renaissance part of Florence is very walkable city, relatively flat and reasonably small. So if you are big walkers, it really doesn't matter where you stay. But for me, especially early in the stay, when I have yet to fully acclimate to the new time zone, being able to easily walk home after dinner is a huge plus. That is the compelling reason for me to be centrally located. e stayed at this apartment. It was perfect. The building was one from part of the Medici family's sprawling Florence houses--so not unique, per se, but old, and all that that entails. It had a gorgeous entry way and the first and second floors are under renovation, so glimpses of the building's grand past can be glimpsed. It was nice to be able to amble back to our place after extensive purchases and off load them. Since we were in the heart of the Chianti Classico wine region, we did feel compelled to try a a number of them, and carrying several wine bottles around takes it's toll after a few kilometers, so it was very nice to be able to detour back to our apartment between museum and shopping trip.

We spent a lovely time in Florence in a very well equipped apartment. Location was simply great!!, safe and quiet, just 100 steps from major sites and from main train station. Last but not least Internet WIFI connection in the apartment is really fast and reliable!

The location of the apartment just cannot be beat. We were able to walk to everything, including all the major historic sites, the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio, Accademia, Uffizi, etc, in five minutes or less. There are a hundred great restaurants and shopping within a few blocks of the apartment as well. And there is a really nice little grocery store just a couple of blocks south of the Duomo. The apartment itself is cozy, warm and quaint. It's also the same building that the 'Jersey Shore' people stayed in so it's famous (infamous?). It does not have a great view, but that only encouraged us to get out more. We enjoyed the sounds of city echoing of the walls of the building around us. It was not loud or annoying, and it gave us a more immersive experience of being in a vibrant, Italian city. When we go back, we will stay there again. And Lorenzo, our host, was incredibly helpful. Highly recommended.
Owner response:Thank you Micheal for your kind words!! Come back soon in Florence! lorenzo

We loved this place and it was so wonderfully located near all of the important locations in Florence. You would have no need to drive anywhere - we walked everywhere from here. We spoke to quite a few people who said the hotels in Florence are really not worth the price so we were really glad we had this place. If you want a closer look I recommend you visit the following video on You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB1C2EGxYmE Thanks for everything Lorenzo!

This is a beautiful apartment in the heart of Florence, just a few steps from all the main sites, and a 5 minute walk to Santa Maria Novella train station. Apartment was clean and amenities were as listed, the photos and description are accurate and true. The owner was extremely prompt and helpful in every interaction. I highly recommend this apartment, I would love to come back to Florence and use your place again.

My husband and I stayed here this past August for two weeks and we are already planning to return! The apartment is located in a historic building, literally right around the corner from the Duomo. It has the beautiful charm of a Florentine flat with all the modern ammenities. We enjoyed morning runs along the river near Ponte Vecchio, afternoon shopping at the San Lorenzo Market, dinner at a local ristorante, and gelato for dessert! The best part was that everything was in walking distance. Florence is an amazing city, and this is our favorite place to stay. The owners are such wonderful people, we can't wait to see them again! Grazie per il piu bell'appartamento di Firenze!
