We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment had everything we needed and was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained. We really couldn't have asked for anything more. It was a great place to stay, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Florence. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
When I looked at the listing for this place, I thought it looked too good to be true. Imagine our delight when we arrived and the pictures matched the reality. As for location, it doesn’t get any better. In trying to think about what other travelers need to know about, the only comment I would have is that there is a flight of stairs from street level to the apartment so if you have accessibility issues you’d need to know about that. Otherwise? We couldn’t fault this property or our host’s communication.
Property #: 3535143: This two bedroom, two bath apartment in Via Santa Monaca is wonderful. It is clean, spacious, bright, and very comfortable. The kitchen is fully functional with an ample array of dishes, cutlery, glasses, pots and pans, coffee maker - everything we needed. There’s a large dining table and the living room is comfortable, bright, and cheerfully decorated. Internet access was easy and always reliable. The apartment’s location in Oltrano was perfect for us. There’s a wonderful bakery just a few doors away, and a grocery store and a pharmacy within walking distance. We walked everywhere in and around Florence — all the monuments, museums, and treasured sites are easily accessed by foot. And, we spent many a relaxing evening having dinner in the Piazza Santo Spirito which is quite nearby. Tracy is an amazing host. She met us at the apartment when we arrived, checked in on us again the next day, and encouraged us to reach out if we needed anything. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would go back in a heartbeat. We highly recommend this apartment and extend our appreciation to Tracy for being an excellent host!
The apartment was well appointed and located conveniently within the city of Florence. It was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. We were traveling as two couples and we had plenty of privacy if we wanted it and also space to be together.
This was the perfect location for us to explore Florence. It made everything very walkable. Communication from the host was excellent. I loved how in the second bedroom. The beds were separate so my kids could have their own beds. Two full bathrooms made everything so nice. The kitchen was well appointed and the balcony was cute but tiny. This apartment was absolutely gorgeous as far as the decor goes. We had a tiny problem with one of the shelves and the air-conditioning but they sent a handyman right away. I loved the folder on the coffee table with recommendations. Such a nice TV and living room area as well. Everything seems very thoughtful in the apartment.
We had an amazing stay. The apartment is just as represented in the pictures. Tracey is a SUPERB host! She proactively reached out prior to the stay and was available via chat app. The neighborhood is very quaint and say from the bustle, but a quick walk to the various Florence areas.
This apartment was very comfortable for our family trip, including three adults and one child. The apartment is renovated and very clean. We loved the neighborhood as it is close enough to walk to all of the sites, but still feels relaxing and away from the hustle and bustle. Communication was excellent with both Tracy and Cristiana from the time of booking until we checked out. We would definitely stay here again!
Ideally located and so well appointed. In the heart of Florence but on the more serene, bohemian side of the river. Within walking distance of all the good things Florence has to offer, with a great fresh food market just down the street. Host was attentive and very helpful. Apartment is a gem. Air cond and Shower is top notch. A must stay in Florence. The best!
This property is modern and very well appointed. The location is perfect for site seeing and close to many restaurants.
All communication with the property manager and the local representative were excellent. They were extremely helpful.
I recommend this lovely apartment. It will certainly add to your Florence experience.
A terrific property with easily reachable and responsive owners, and a nice, quiet location. The owners were super helpful with area restaurants/other recommendations, too. There are some great restaurants popular with locals all within a 5 to 15 minute easy walk, just make reservations ahead of your visit if you can. The location: It’s quiet and within easy walking distance of Florence’s top sites and attractions, yet it’s not nearly as busy as the other side of the Arno…we are so happy we chose to stay here and away from the fray. It’s also only a 15 minute or so walk from the train station. The property is very clean and well maintained. It even has a small but cool terrace. While we did not cook during our stay, everything one would need appeared to be in the well-stocked kitchen. One thing to know is that there is a single flight of stairs to get from the street and into the front door. Not a problem for us, though perhaps a consideration for others. The true test: Would we rebook? Oh, most definitely, and we would encourage anyone who’s interested to do so.
We have been to Florence many times and always seemed to find ourselves in Oltrarno, so decided to stay there this time. The flat was just as described, but nicer and completely modern. The kitchen was well-appointed and had everything that we needed, and all of the appliances worked. It is located close to the Brancacci Chapel and main points of interest, but was very quiet (we suspect the owner installed “city windows”). The bathrooms were modern and comfortable. The bedrooms were large and the beds and pillows were great. Communication with the American owner and local property manager were easy and both were extremely responsive. We would happily have stayed longer than a week, and would definitely stay there again.
Perfect space and location!We had the pleasure of staying here on our recent trip to Florence. What a gem! We were two adults, although there is plenty of room for four. This was our second trip to Florence. We were surprised by the crowds in this beautiful City and were so grateful to stay across the bridge at Tracy‘s place. It meant a five minute walk to the historic center, but a retreat to calm a five minute walk back.The best: - very accommodating owner who worked with our check-in schedule and made sure someone was there waiting, for our arrival.- nearly instant communication with the owner, who also gave some specialized tips for our likes/dislikes.- lots of space- air conditioning in every room. Very easy to operate and worked beautifully. A- really clean.- hot water on demand. - super quiet and centrally located. Felt very safe. - a Conad market a few doorsteps away. Need milk? NP! Amazing bakery and gelato, nearly next door. Cons: - Not many. There are steps (16-ish) from the outside to the main door, that get more steep at the top- Mattress in the Master bedroom was too firm for our liking. We were able to use some of the duvet inserts to create more padding, and slept well. - Recycling afforded a learning curve. Some tips on this in advance of walking to the drop off site would be helpful…Eat: Gune is fine dining, a very short walk from the apartment. Really special, incredible food, and a bargain (until he receives his Michelin Star)
Loved everything about this property from the location to the apartment itself.All of it was kind of perfect.Easy check in, super well appointed, nicely firnished.All we could have asked for and easy walking distance to everything!We'd Love to be able to come back again ! Thanks for an amazing stay !
Great location and great owners. We loved how it was a property located close enough to the touristy places but also in the heart of where locals are. Incredible restaurants, bars and cafes close by. We loved every minute of our time in Florence, can’t wait to return!
Centrally located, super comfortable home away from home. Very modern and chic apartment in historic area. Close to bars and restaurants. Very cool neighborhood, antique shops, high end vintage clothing, wine window close by . All main attractions are very walkable. We feel very lucky to have found this great apartment.
