Relaxed in Florence

Nik our host was very attentive. He met us when we arrived and was a welcoming and provided us with a wealth of information. The accommodations were beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. This was our most relaxing stay on our 5 city Italy vacation. Nik went out of his way on our final day in Florence to find us a taxi to the train station during the countywide transportation strike.This was by far our best VRBO we stayed in in Italy!

Perfection!

Perfection..a superlative that in this case needs further superlatives in order to complete the story..incredible host..incredible apartment. Right from selecting the property..clear..concise description and information..the pictures hardly do the property justice..make the booking and Nik is communicating with us..and then we wait for our trip to begin..and then we are in communication again..walking us through our arrival in Florence to the front door..transportation is super easy..almost literally to the front door.Into nirvana..it was as hot as stink in Florence 41C..the apartment is cool..and stunning..recently renovated..everything is as it should be..comfortably furnished..awesome bed..great kitchen..fantastic bathroom..washer and drier..and lots of amenities..you think this would be a premium priced apartment..it was very fair and affordable.It’s fairly central location makes it an excellent jump off point..far enough away from the racket..close enough for an easy walk into town..enough local restaurants around..a market or two..a nice walk to an outdoor pool..a roughly 15 minute walk to the central train station ( or probably a 6 minute ride on the T1 tram ) Everything just feels right about the host Nik, and the property. If you get the chance..go for it..you will definitely get the best!!

Nik is a phenomenal host. He met us upon arrival, explained everything in the apartment and made us feel comfortable right away. The apartment is in excellent condition and though we were only there for 4 nights, it has everything needed for a long term stay. The bed is comfy, there is plenty of hot water and the washer and dryer are a tremendous plus. 10/10 recommend!

Beautiful property in Florence

We have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties and this might be the MOST comfortable property we have even stayed in. It is a very large one bedroom and incredibly well appointed. We could have comfortably stayed for a month. It is a little outside of the center of Florence, but in a stunning area right on the river. If you enjoy walking you can stroll along the river right into the central area of town. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in Florence.

Great Stay in Florence

This apartment was very nice! It’s in a quieter part of Florence, Italy. It is close the river and the US Consulate. The apartment has a large bedroom, access to a washer/dryer, and every other amenity anyone would need for a relatively short stay. The owner is extremely nice and very helpful, giving vacation tips to anyone who asks. This is truly a five star stay.

Wonderful Experience!!

This was wonderful in every way. The unit was sparkling clean, completely updated and without question the nicest place we stayed during our 15 day Italy vacation. Nik was a delight and helped us from the start - in protecting our car - and making recommendations for places to dine. He also gave some recommendations for Venice, his original home. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Florence and our interaction with Nik!

Nik/Mandy were exceptional hosts. They stayed in contact with me leading up to the trip, provided recommendations for activities, dining, and transportation. The apartment was clean, spacious, and just a short 15-20 minute walk to popular attractions and the train station. I had a couple of questions during my stay and received a prompt response.

Beautiful apartment!

Spacious clean and very modern. Had a washer and dryer that was also helpful during a 3 week trip to Italy. My only complaint was the thermostat was set at a specific temperature and couldn't be lowered. The first couple of nights it was warm and stuffy. After the weather cooled it was much more manageable to sleep. Overall though it was a beautiful apartment.

Wonderful apartment!

My daughter and I stayed here for a week to attend a wedding. Nik was very helpful and provided a lot of information from start to finish. He met us promptly at the apartment and showed us around. The apartment is beautiful and provided everything we may have needed and more. The bed was comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet at night. The apartment is very secure as both the front door and apartment door lock with deadbolts. There is also a great restaurant right next door, the Borderline. We had dinner there and it was outstanding. The apartment is about a 15 miinute walk to the city center and the attractions. Overall we loved this apartment and would highly recommend it and would stay there again should we be in Florence.us

Why they chose this property

Very close to central train station Santa Maria Novella (10 minutes walk or 1 stop by tramway) and 20 minutes by car from the Airport.

What makes this property unique

For lovers of concerts, ballets and operas, the New Opera House is located just across the street from this apartment. The US Consulate & the French Consulate are very close as are several 5 star hotels including the St. Regis and the Westin Excelsior, which has a rooftop bar with an awesome view of the Arno river the Duomo and the bridges of Florence!

Cascine park, the green lungs of the city, where you can relax, jog and bike ride, attend a music festival in the summer or pick up an antique at a weekend flea market or have an aperitivo at the Pavoniere public swimming pool, among centuries old trees, is just 2 minutes away.

The area has all amenities such as supermarkets, shops, banks, a post office and pharmacies. There are several cafe's, bars & restaurants serving local and international food such as Indian, Korean, Mexican, Chinese and Japanese cuisines.
