The apartment is spacious and the hosts were friendly. We needed early checkin and late checkout which was extremely helpful given our travel schedule. The club next door was very loud at nights into the early morning which made it difficult to sleep. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you very much to the hosts!
Raffaela is a wonderful host! The apartment is just as described, very big, nicely done and a great location. Shops, restaurants, and grocery stores nearby. We can’t wait to go back!

Thank you Chloe, for having been such nice guests tigger with your friend, I’m looking forward to meet you again
Wonderful stay and great location; only minor concern was that the property was not available at check-in time (2pm) and when still being cleaned when we arrived at 3pm
Very enjoyable flat in a great location of the city. Easy walking to all the city center attractions. Very close to some really good restaurants. Short walk to groceries.
Super comfortable stay. Would not hesitate to stay here again on a future visit!!
This place looks exactly like the photos. It is clean, big and is in the perfect location. 5 min walk to the Duomo! The only thing I would say is that the beds are pretty hard but since you are walking so much all day that doesn't matter too much. I would book this place again for sure!
From the accuracy of the online listing; to the pre-visit communication with the property management team; to the perfect neighborhood and location; to the lightness and spaciousness of the apartment; this was a win win win rental property. The rental process was seamless. The rental property was well-equipped.
Our family (parents and 2 adult children) enjoyed a relaxing sojourn in Florence and the environs. Walking, biking, bus and train travel made our stay interesting and our visits to sites, museums and nearby communities easily managed.
Thank you to VRBO and the property personnel for making this visit possible.

Convenient but loud
My family and I stayed here for a week on vacation and the location in relation to the sites was so perfect. It was an easy walk to lots of restaurants in all directions. The apartment itself was very clean and had a great layout.
It seems like there was a club on the same street, however, and there was lots of loud partying on the street below our windows at night, so earplugs and white noise is a must to drown it out.
Heads up that when you arrive, the host will ask for photos of your passports and ~€150 cash for Florence taxes and apparently to comply with some police mandate. We were exhausted after arriving from our long flight, so we just complied, but it was a little uncomfortable and seemed strange/sketchy to handle money outside of the app.
In all, the host was quick in responding in the app, the apartment was nice, the location was nice, but there was a lot of noise at night, and some sketchy interactions once there.

Dear Rachel,
Thank you for your review and comments.
As explained in the rules of the house on the reservation platform:
- Providing documents is mandatory for hotel and private hosts as requested by law and by Italian police department for registration of all guests!
- Tourist tax is mandatory for all guests, apart from kids. The money you paid in cash at arrival (115€ not 150€), corresponds to the tourist tax, for 3 adults 7 nights, money I have to pay to the tax office of the municipality of Florence.
Regarding the noice in the street, the apartment is provided by sound proof widows for my guests comfort, however it may happen that during special holiday periods people celebrate and make some noise in the streets of the historic center.
Best regards,
Raffaela
To All Perspectives Guests,
Writing as an annual 40-year visitor to Florence, I can truly say that number 13 Via Pandolfini is situated in an ideal location in the immediate heart of the city, yet in a wonderful working class neighborhood with all the flavor that provides.
The apartment itself is magnificent! It is large, highly livable, well decorated and incredibly well equipped. We could not think of anything we would add.
Choosing an apartment abroad is always a challenging endeavor. Renting number 13, is by far, one’s best solution!
La Famiglia Sottile
We loved everything about this apartment! It was ridiculously hot and even without a/c, we were happy. There were fans and a breeze at night. It is a little on the loud side, but it didn’t bother us. When the windows are closed, it’s not an issue. A lovely apartment in a perfect area!

Beautiful and spacious apartment very centrally located. 20 min ride from airport for just 25 euro.
The location can’t be beat. The apartment is spacious and well maintained. Our party enjoyed a wonderful stay there. I’m giving it four stars instead of five because it was noisy because of the World Cup.

Fantastic location, bright and airy
Our family of five spent five great days here. The apartment is bright, airy and well-appointed. With two bathrooms and two bedrooms plus a sofa bed, we had plenty of room. The location is great for sight seeing and there is a quaint piazza steps away that has multiple great places to eat and drink. It can be a bit loud as it's a popular area but the windows are very high quality so they block out any noise when closed and an efficient fan is provided for each room so it doesn't get stuffy.
Overall, a great location!
