In the heart of Florence!

We enjoyed our stay. Apartment offered everything we needed. It was clean, comfortable, and located close to many Cultural sites.

Our stay in Florence at this apartment was only three days / nights. This location has two separate bedrooms., one full and one half bathroom, which is difficult to find at this price. The steps have been mentioned and there are a lot and they are steep, but if you only come in and out once or twice per day, it's not bad. One bed had a very hard mattress and the couch was worn out, but other than that, it worked well for us.

We were informed of the "45" steps and no lift, but there needs to be more on the steps in the description. These steps were shear torture. Very narrow, with only about a 6" tread, made from stone and worn in many places so the footing was horrible. The unit was on the 3rd floor so the steps going up went like this; 5-6 step, a landing, 90 degree turn, 5-6 steps, a landing, 90 degree turn, 5-6 steps, floor #1. This is repeated 2 more times to reach the 3rd floor apt. Only a 1/2" diameter steel hand-rail (bent) is all to hold on to, and the stairway itself is probably no more than 30" wide. We had 7 pieces of luggage to try and get up these stairs. The original description stated 2 bed room, 2 baths,2 showers. There were 2 bedrooms, but there was a full bath in the hall with walk in shower, but one bedroom had only a half bath, with only stool and sink. My criteria clearly stated 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths with showers, no smoking, no pets and WiFi. I did not want the hassle of 4 adults trying to be able to use 1 shower. I would not recommend this unit for anyone over 50 years old, even if they are in good physical health. Also, the property manager kept us waiting outside the unit, in the street with all of our luggage for 20-30 min, then it turns out, she hollered at us from the 3rd floor kitchen window, so she was there doing something while we waited in the street. Actually, this unit needs to be taken off the market with VRBO.

This was my favorite rental of our holiday. The apartment is located so conveniently to the train station it made it perfect to get there. The instructions given were detailed and easy to follow. Our hostess gave us wonderful information about what to see in Florence including the best gelato shops and after sampling a few she was spot on on her recommendations. We also went to a couple restaurant suggestions and they didn't disappoint either. If we were to go to Florence again we would definitely see if this property was available again. Everything was there to make our stay comfortable.

This was our second stay at this charming apartment near the Mercato Centrale. We stayed here two years ago with our young son and liked it so much we came back! The kitchen, dining and living area is light and bright and offers a view of the Mercato Centrale and a hint of the Duomo! You can hear the bells of the Campanile every morning and evening! The bedrooms are very spacious and comfortable, and our 2.5 year old graduated into a twin bed on holiday! He was so excited! The apartment is an easy walk to the Piazza del Duomo, Medici Chapels and the Accademia. You're never too far from a gelateria or a grocery store!

To be honest, this is the standard by which we compare all other rentals on holiday!

I also want to express my deepest gratitude to Veronica! Not only did she meet us for our late check-in, but was helpful in the extreme when our flight was cancelled on our departure day. We were able to return to the apartment and stay an extra night without any worry. Further, Veronica assured us that should our second flight out of Florence be cancelled, that we could return again! Utterly gracious and so willing to make a difficult, stressful situation easy for us. Grazie mille!
