Very good

Great location. Renters should be aware of 106 stairs to the apartment and only one comfortable chair to sit in. Otherwise this is a very nice place. The host was helpful and check in easy.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the excellent location, found the apartment nice, and appreciated the helpfulness of our team and the smooth check-in process. As this is a historic building, access to the apartment requires climbing several flights of stairs, and lift is not listed among the amenities. We also appreciate your comment regarding the seating and will keep it in mind as we continue looking for ways to improve our guests’ comfort. Thank you again for staying with us!
Perfect location. Beautiful view. Just be prepared for getting your luggage up the stairs!!

The apartment is very old and had no window coverings, specifically in the bathroom. This was a problem when men were working on the railings and scaffolding! The kitchen was not clean and old. You also have to walk 125 stairs to get to apartment. However, it is in a great location in Florence and the AC worked great. Otis was extremely friendly, kind and supportive at check in.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that certain aspects of the apartment did not meet your expectations, particularly the cleanliness of the kitchen and the lack of window coverings in the bathroom. We understand your concerns regarding privacy during the maintenance work and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We also recognize that the stairs can be challenging, although this is reflected in the character of the building. We’re glad you enjoyed the central location, the air conditioning, and warm welcome and assistance. Your comments are valuable to us as we continue working to improve our guests’ experience.
Very charming and cozy with a great location (I don’t think you could get much better for the price you pay!). Check-in was straightforward, apartment was clean and had good communication with the host - they checked in and offered help with anything. Notably, the apartment is on the 5th floor. (Though the listing saying fourth floor, my understanding is that may be due to the first non-ground floor being for business/non-residential?) depending what luggage situation you have it could be quite challenging (as the listing says, no elevator). The stay was a 4-4.5/5 for us. There were a few loose ends that needed to be tidied up in order to make this feel truly “move in ready”. Having said that, it was a good time and we are glad we stayed there!
