Don’t book here! The listing was advertised as a 2 bedroom, 2 bath house — two queen beds plus a twin bed loft. Upon arrival, there was no second queen bed. When we confronted the host, he then went to the listing and changed it as if we were crazy and the ones at fault/ wrong. Didn’t workout for him, but just shows how terrible they tried to be. There’s only AC in the main room, it smells like smoke, and the terrace is so nasty you don’t want to go up there. There’s a neighbor with a pet bird that squawks so unbelievably loud very early in the morning. Unfortunately we could go on, but 0/10 would not recommend. The perks - the area is wonderful and if you stay close by, go visit Rai at Sbrino for gelato — the best in the city!!!

Recommend San Giovanni house

Great stay at San Giovanni house. We liked the location and enjoyed the more local feel of the Oltrarno neighborhood. Best part of the house is the roof patio to take in fresh air and church bells ringing and views. Easy walk from the train station. Highly recommend!

Great stay

We had a really great 2 week stay in this apartment! It was clean and spacious and in the perfect location away from the hustle and bustle yet extremely close to the most amazing restaurants. Being American, we would have preferred the beds to be a bit less firm, but we managed. We also stayed two weeks and cooked quite a bit - a bit of a tight kitchen with not many items to cook with, but we made it work! The hosts were very accommodating and it was a great stay.

A Wonderful Stay!

This flat is so charming - and right in the heart of Florence! It was exactly like the pictures. Check-in was a breeze and our rep provided us with great recommendations. We had a small issue with a leaky toilet, but they sent someone out immediately and it was fixed very quickly. We were within walking distance of so many wonderful things. We truly enjoyed our home away from home here.

Perfect weekend stay

My family of 4 stayed at this property in mid-May and it was perfect for our needs. Very clean, great location, and beautiful apartment. The terrace was the best part. Only complaint I have is the light switches were very confusing. I wish they would have labels on the lights so we know how to turn off the hallway. Very small issue. Other than this everything was great!

A little dusty

The location was convenient. The apartment worked for us and our stay. The size was perfect. The apartment was very dusty. The light fixtures and the wardrobe all needed a good dusting. I would stay again, I would just ask for it to be well dusted.

Confortable et very well located !

My sister and I had a Lovely stay. Taking possession of the apartment was easy. The welcoming party was very efficient but not very talkative. We would have liked more informations about the surroundings of the apartment, for example where to find the the closest Supermarket. This said, the apartment was as presented on the pictures and it was close to everything.

Great location!

This was a charming apartment for our staying in Florence. Unit was very clean with an awesome view from the top patio. This may not be suitable for people with physical limitations as you actually have to climb three flights of stairs before you get to the apartment door, and then a short flight into the actual apartment. Communication was great with the host. We were met by Erica, who was very friendly and helpful with directions to restaurants, etc.

Smooth sailing in a great location

With only one night to stay in Florence, we wanted to find a place that was comfortable enough to sleep 4 and close enough to the action without being in the middle of it. San Giovanni house fit the bill on paper and in person! It was very spacious, and having 2 separate full bathrooms was fantastic. The rooftop patio was a very pleasant surprise! The check in process was convenient and easy. The only negative comment would be that the beds were very very hard. Otherwise, perfect stay!

Great Location, great appartment

They only complaint i would have about this place is it doesnt have AC. They dont say that they do so no worries there but we did stay here in July during a heat wave which made things a little hot. This apartment is amazing would stay here again, just a little outside the main part of Florence (10 min walk) right by an old city wall. Great food close. Great managers, very responsive. Very cool roof deck.

There was limescale build up in the master bathroom covering the holes in the shower head making it impossible to shower so I had to use the other bathroom. Lots of bugs crawling around, and no AC for a place that’s really hot specially during the summer

Cozy stay

Great property with views from windows and terrace. Small kitchen with working fridge. Big spaces to hang out and spaces between bedrooms and bathrooms. However, this unit DOES NOT have AC. The thermostat from the old unit read 33C/88F upon arrival. We had to open windows and use fans provided. Slightly uncomfortable temp for sleeping but overall, good property.

More than what we expected!

Our family of four (including two teenagers) had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful Florence apartment for four nights via VRBO, and it exceeded all our expectations.What We Loved:Spacious Comfort: The apartment was much larger than anticipated. The cozy living room provided a perfect gathering spot, and the long hallway led to our children's room and our master bedroom. Both rooms offered ample space, allowing us to feel at home and relaxed.Relaxing Bathrooms: Both bathrooms were equipped with showers and were impeccably clean. The master bathroom featured both a tub and a shower, which was incredibly useful after long days of exploring the city.Smooth Check-In: Check-in was seamless. Oscar, who assisted us, was kind and friendly, offering a warm introduction to Florence. He provided helpful information about the area, making us feel immediately welcome.Responsive Host Team: The host has assembled an excellent team that manages guests' needs 24/7. Whenever we had minor requests, they promptly responded and resolved any issues, ensuring our stay was comfortable.Prime Location: The apartment's location was ideal for walking to many attractions, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the city's rich history and culture.We hope that others, like us, will be blessed to find this place as their home away from home. Thank you to our hosts for providing such a wonderful experience.

Stay at San Giovanni House (during heat wave)

We stayed in this VRBO during a heat wave and this property does not (and didn’t claim to) have AC. So we did our best to stay cool. Some great things: Easy walk from the train station and to the city center (but not close)Nice quiet neighborhood Really beautiful food terrace that was our savior in the eveningsReally lovely apartment that had all the spaces we needed. If we had been there in different weather, it would have been awesome. Things that were not great:While we knew there was so AC, of the three fans in the house, only one worked. There was a bad odor in the second bathroom. The shower head in the main bath was clearly not the right one, and it fell off if you nudged it. (Fine for me - I’m short so didn’t nudge it. But it was a major frustration for my normal sized husband.)Also things like towel bars fell off with just the slightest use. We stuck them back in but …The mosquitos. To deal we had the window open but got seriously bitten by mosquitos. Bring repellent to sleep and/or cortisone for the morning. No hand towels of any sort. They provided towels but not wash cloth or hand towels in the kitchen. It was ok. We lived. But it was odd and made it hard to do basic things. Regardless, Firenze is a beautiful city and we appreciated our visit and the lovely people around us.
