This location was perfectly located. In a quiet part of town but close enough walk to all the sites. The suite was clean, and had three air conditioners to keep it cool/cold at all times :) Eugenia was an awesome host who responded to any questions we had extremely fast. Highly recommend this location and would definitely go back.

Overall our stay here was pleasant. The apartment is well located an easy walk from popular sights, restaurants, and shops. The main bedroom was comfortable and clean. The second bedroom is very small and, in my opinion, would not be suited for more than one person. It really would be more properly suited to one child given that the twin bed is a lofted bed close to the ceiling. Of course this is shown in the listing photos but it's difficult to tell exactly what's going on until arrival. The futon mentioned in the listing is actually a pull out couch in the living room, not in a bedroom. The A/C units in the living room and each bedroom were powerful and worked well to keep the spaces cool. The bathroom, as stated in the listing description, is extremely tight and the shower could use good scrub to remove mold from moisture buildup. Outside of that, the property was clean. We had an issue with the boiler that left us without hot water the first night, and the host told us to fix it ourselves or wait until 7 PM our second night for the host to come to fix it. It did end up being a pretty easy fix for us to do, but it's not ideal to be asked to fix a hot water issue yourself in your vacation accommodation. The host did provide a 50 euro refund for the inconvenience. There was also no hand soap in the bathroom or kitchen, and no shower soaps provided, either. We were also not provided with check in instructions until I reached out to the host upon arrival in Florence.

Good value

The location was great. The apartment suited our needs but be ware the shower is very small. I believe this is typical for Europe so it is not an issue just for awareness. Communication with the owner was great. It’s a charming apartment.

No mold at all. About the dimensions I recommend to read the listing before booking. It's not polite complaining about lift or everything else is already written in the apt description, nonsense.about the guest: rude and very dirty. The left the house full of trash, and they always communicated in a way not very kind. I don't recommend at all

Quaint and charming apartment in a great location!

We really enjoyed our stay at this quaint and charming apartment. It is perfectly situated close to many must see locations. It is a very quiet location and the host Eugenia was very communicative and checked in and answered all my questions as needed. It was easy to find and the check in and check out was easy. We would stay here again with no hesitation. The bathroom is small but similar in size to other locations we have stayed in throughout Europe. We appreciated having a washing machine for laundry as well and the laundry was dry overnight. Thank you!

Fabulous Apartment!

What a fantastic apartment on a quiet street in Santa Croce neighborhood. The location was perfect for my husband and me, we walked everywhere. The apartment was immaculate, everything in great condition, and Eugenia was wonderful! She welcomed us with a bottle of wine and provided helpful information on restaurants, the neighborhood etc! I highly recommend! Would definitely return. Thanks for everything Eugenia!
