Unbelievable Hospitality!!

I have never met an owner like Sonia!! The genuine hospitality and care shown to make sure our needs were met was unlike any other I have ever experienced….and I’ve travelled a lot!! Sonia went above and beyond to give us a tour of the property, the workings of the door locks, etc. She pulled out a map of Florence and provided suggestions for local restaurants and sights to see.The residence was wonderful!! Very clean and the mattresses were comfortable. We cherished the courtyard where we could sit outside and enjoy a wine (or two)!Highly recommended!!

Absolutely Fabulous!

I can't say enough good things about Sonia and this apartment. First of all Sonia herself - what a lovely lady! She met us at the parking garage down the street (where we left our rental car during our time in Florence) and walked us to the apartment. She oriented us using a map of the city and pointed out all the nearby restaurants. She thought of literally everything from showing us how to use the washing machine to the shampoo in the shower - she even gifted us a bottle of wine. The location of the apartment is AMAZING and one of the main reasons I chose it. It was a short, easy walk to the river and then across any of the bridges to the famous sites. The neighborhood restaurants are great, especially the one right across the street. The gelato by the park was fantastic and the perfect place to stop on the way home. The apartment itself is cozy and had exactly what we needed - two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a dining room and sitting room, plus the lovely patio. My husband and I were traveling with our adult daughter and her husband, and there was plenty of room for all of us. The heat/AC were perfect and the wifi worked great. We felt very safe with the two locked doors to get into the building and then the locked door to the apartment. If you are planning a trip to Florence this is the place to stay. THANK YOU Sonia for everything.

Nice Apartment, Great Location, Helpful Host

The apartment was in great condition. Easy to access on the main floor with a lovely private courtyard. Several grocery stores are within walking distance and we were able to stock up on food to make meals in the kitchen. Host Sonia was very responsive to our questions before arriving, gave us lots of info on our arrival, and even booked us a taxi to the train station the morning we left!

Family Holiday in Florence

We are a family of 5 (2 Adults, 3 Teenagers) and stayed 4 nights in Sonia’s apartment. What a wonderful experience! Sonia was there at checkin and went through all the things to do with the apartment in great detail. She also recommended many great local restaurants and things to do around Florence.The apartment itself was very clean and configured to 3 bedrooms and the 2nd bathroom made the stay very comfortable for our family of 5. The outdoor courtyard is also available, but we didn’t use it much as it was winter and cold.The apartment is very quiet and the location is close enough to walk easily into town and all the main attractions. The bus is also just outside the apartment.Overall, a great place to stay in a quiet neighbourhood and would definitely stay again when in Florence. Thank you Sonia for your hospitality!

L'appartement de Sonia est très bien situé dans Florence pour visiter la ville. Il est parfait pour les familles avec les 3 chambres et les 2 salles de bain. La terrasse est très agréable également.

It was perfect for two couples.

There were 4 adults and we loved Sonia’s place. The two bedroom, two baths were a great size. We had all we needed and more. The washer came in handy and we aired dried our clothes . We had rain several says and would have loved to have enjoyed the courtyard more. Beds were comfy and loved the location. Sonia was always available readily to answer any questions, book a taxi, or help us out. Very convenient to the bus stop. Its like right outside the door. Thank you for the best experience ever for our first trip to Italy!! It was like staying at a dear friends house!

Ideal für den Aufenthalt in Florenz

Die Wohnung ist der ideale Ausgangspunkt, um Florenz zu besichtigen. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sing gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation mit Sonia war im Vorfeld und während des Aufenthaltes perfekt. Sie hat uns tolle Tipps gegeben und auch einen Platz für das Auto in einer Garage quasi um die Ecke der Wohnung organisiert. Vor der ersten Abgabe des Autos, sollte man aber prüfen, dass man alles an Gepäck entladen hat, denn es kann sein, dass das Auto an einem anderen Ort abgestellt wird und man nicht sofort an den Wagen rankommt. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und es hat an nichts gefehlt. Für einen erneuten Urlaub in Florenz, wäre dies wieder unsere erste Adresse! Vielen Dank an Sonia!
