This property was comfortable and cozy, and in an amazing location. We especially loved Angela our host who was so wonderful about helping with large and small questions.
We were given the incorrect address and only after contacting Expedia/Vrbo were we able to meet up with the owner. We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Pearl.
Had a great stay. Apartment is quiet, open and light and in the ideal position for visiting Florence and is surrounded by restaurants.
Angela is a very helpful host and was always quick and positive in her responses to us.
The location is wonderful and you have the ability to walk to all the sites. Grocery is across the street.
Angelena is a fabulous hostess and answered all our questions and gave great recommendations as well as assisting with taxi to the train station.
Highly recommend
Very nice apartment in the heart of Florence. We could walk everywhere! We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, washing machine, and iron. Wonderful communication with host.
Angela was a fantastic host and the apartment’s location is perfect in the heart of Florence. The Duomo is just steps away and visible from the front street or even the bathroom window! Great restaurants right outside the door and around the corners. Angela also arranged taxi for us on departure which was great because they are hard to get in Florence on phone apps.
The location is perfect! It was an easy walk to everything. Angela was a great host, the apartment is very clean & comfortable. Having a washer was important for us too, it was so nice being able to do a few loads of clothes. Bring your own laundry detergent or there is a store across the street.
My husband and I loved the location of the apartment. Right near great food and all of the hot spots. Angela and her dad were wonderful and very kind, answering all of our questions and making check in easy. The apartment was very spacious but lacks a living space other than the kitchen. Didn’t bother us though as watching tv from bed was what we needed after a long day of walking. Highly recommend.

The property is within easy walking distance of many of the tourist attractions of Florence. We did not use public transport at all during our stay. Many restaurants are outside the door as is a local supermarket. The Duomo is visible from the street. The apartment we stayed in was large, clean and had a lift. There is a kitchen if you want to cook. This apartment is at the back and is very quiet!
L'appartement est bien placé, j'ai aimé pouvoir repasser pour déposer des achats ou juste faire une pause au calme.Facile et rapide d'accès avec le tram depuis la gare ; correspond à la description ; calme, agréable, prête à y revenir !
Le logement est confortable, très propre et calme. Il est situé à 3 minutes à pied du Duomo et 10-15 minutes des endroits à visiter.
Angela est très accueillante. Elle est à la disposition de ses hôtes pour tout type d'information y compris la réservation de taxis.
Je recommande cette location pour toutes les raisons données ci-dessus.
Perfectly situated, close to everything you want to do and see in Florence. The apartment is located at the back of the building so there is no street noise which is perfect when you are adjusting to the time change. We had everything we needed regarding kitchen/bath items and the grocery store was just across the street. Having a washing machine was certainly a perk and allowed us to pack smarter, knowing we'd be able to refresh mid-trip. Angela, the PM, was absolutely perfect to work with and responded to our questions prior to the trip and once we were checked in very quickly!
Over the last 15 years I've stayed in 8 VRBO rentals in Florence, and in my view it would be wise to consider Perla Blu for a short or long stay in town. The apartment is clean, neat, comfortable, and very quiet. The location is ideal because a 20 minute walk in any direction would cover every site that is on a normal tourist itinerary. The bedroom is spacious, the bed exceptionally comfortable, and there is plenty of room and hangars for clothes. This is the first place I've stayed that has an elevator, and that deserves several bonus stars. Everything in the apartment worked efficiently, and Angela answered my emails without delay. The shower was great for water temp and pressure, but space for maneuvering is very limited and it is a bit slippery because of the slant of the floor. The kitchen is adequately provisioned. I would be happy to book another stay in this apartment.
My top priority in renting is a cleanliness. This apartment was clean, great location and Angela was extremely quick to address all my concerns. Couldn't ask for better.
We really enjoyed our stay in Florence and Angela was the best. She was very flexible and helpful as our arrival time changed a few times. We couldn't have been more happy!

Close to Duomo and central Florence
Overall the apartment worked well for my wife and I. It was only the two of us in early April 2019. The apartment felt very safe as it took 3 solid doors to get into before reaching the apartment. The place had a washer for clothes that we used twice - fair warning though it took a long time for the wash cycle and there is no dryer! The apartment does have a clothes rack to air dry though.
The only complaints we had were:
1) the shower - very small and super slippery! We’ve experienced small showers before on cruise ships but this was smaller than that - and we are not big people. My wife is 5’1 and petite, she even had negative comments on the shower. We both slipped multiple times but got lucky we didn’t hurt ourselves.
2) there were not any instructions on how to obtain the keys ourselves. Angela met us in front of the apartment (as she stated she would), took us into the apartment and explained the doors and elevators sufficiently for us to use. The only reason I state this was a concern of ours is we’ve stayed in several VRBOs or AirBnBs before where we received instructions on how to get the keys from a lockbox. We always preferred this method so our stay isn’t dependent on someone actually handing us the keys. With Angela stating she would meet us at the apartment gave us pause and concern as we’re in a foreign country not knowing our surroundings and no other backup plan. It was odd to us there was no other way to get into the apartment besides Angela meeting us there. I made her aware of my concerns over text and she assured me it’s her job and she would be there. This is placing ALOT of trust in someone you’ve never met before and leaving the possibility of just waiting or even being stranded - however I digress as Angela was there right when we arrived!! I want to have others aware of this method of getting the keys in case you might be nervous like I was.
Overall the apartment worked well for us besides the shower. Angela was very helpful and came through on meeting us there. She also called to arrange a taxi for our departure but unfortunately there was a marathon that morning where streets were closed - not her fault! I would recommend this apartment as it was close to lots of restaurants, shopping, and the Duomo (which you can see from the bathroom window). Bed was comfortable with a big open bedroom. Tv with several channels - we did not use the kitchen.
Thanks Angela!
