Beautiful apartment that looks just like the pictures. It was in a good neighborhood nice and quiet, but close to everything. The Oltoarno area has many great restaurants and cafes. We loved just walking and exploring that side of the river. It felt much less crowded and rushed. Vanni was very helpful and answered all our questions. I would definitely stay here again. One review complained about the bed and pillows and I don't know if they have been replaced or not, but we found them very comfortable and slept well.

Nice place in a great location, and the owner helped out when the wifi router went down. I would give a much stronger review if they updated/refreshed their pillows (basically lumpy concrete), mattress (has clearly never been rotated), and electronics (surge protectirs are several decades old, hence issues with the wifi going out).

Very Nice Apartment in a Great Location

Located very close to Ponte Vecchio, several restaurants, and the historic district. We walked everywhere and really explored Florence! The apartment was clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood is a very quiet area. Our host was friendly and informative, and we had everything we needed.

Very close to ponte vecchio, yet in a very quiet area. Walking distance to SMN train station, main sites in centro storico, lots of restaurants, etc. Vanni was easy to communicate with, accommodating and quick to respond. Property as described. Washing machine was a big plus for us. Highly recommend.

Ye who are weak at heart, and legs to go with it, think before you choose! There are not only many stairs to climb but the walk up the hill is pretty tiring, too. ;-)Now, with that being said, just know Galileo used to live just a few more apartments up the hill. So if it was good for him, it was certainly good for us, too!! The apartment is pretty central to everything and you can eat all you want because you’ll work it off walking back. LOLEverything I just stated is meant in good spirit as you simply need to know you are staying as the people stay. It is not the typical American hotel so please don’t think it is. Enjoy your stay and learn to love the area. So much history!

Within walking distance to many sights

The room was nice, clean and our host Vanni was quite accommodating, as we arrived earlier than check-in. The 4-star is for the steep hill you walk up from the river and the significant steep interior steps to the room. Carrying lugguge up the steps was a challenge for two 60+ year old ladies - we still had a fabulous time.

A perfect location at the heart of Florence

The appartement is located south of the Arno river really close to Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi Galleries. It's a rather quiet street although it takes only five minutes to walk to the historic centre or the Boboli Gardens. The flat is clean and not to big but two persons got enough space - and our host Vanni was very communicative and reliable. We would always recommend Gemma as a perfect stay for an urban vacation - Lutz and Susanne

Great little apartment

Our overall experience was great. The apartment was clean and had all the facilities for our longer stay. The apartment location is perfect for all central Florence offers. There is a reasonable climb up the road to the apartment steps. We did not find this an inconvenience but others may need to take this into consideration. We loved out stay.
