Great apartment in an incredible location. Antonio was very attentive and we had no problems during check-in or checkout. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
Great location! Property was clean and spacious! Our Host Antonio was very helpful and available for any questions.Highly recommend for your stay in beautiful Florence!
Excellent stay at Antonio’s property. The location is second to none with the beautiful Santa Croce church right outside and easy walking distance to all key sites. The AC was second to none too as we arrived in the midst of a heat wave. Grocery close by and lots of restaurants also with the apartment well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Would highly recommend!
Our trip was wonderful. The apartment exceeded our expectations in every way! It was spotless, and stocked with everything we needed including some very interesting books. We especially loved the location. Everything that Florence has to offer was in walking distance. Right outside the building is a wonderful cafe and restaurant. Communication with Antonio the owner was excellent and made the entire process so easy. We'll definitely return.
The apartment was very roomy, clean, well equipped and comfortable for our family of four. The location was great - everything was walkable. We would definitely stay there again the next time we visit Florence.
The apartment was spotless and comfortable. Walking distance to just about everything we wanted to do and see. A wonderful craft market in the square was a highlight.
Everything was perfect. The location cannot be beat and the property was clean and comfortable. I loved to open the windows and hear birds and church bells. You will not be disappointed if you book here.

thank you very much for your kind words Jan, I'd be more than happy to host you again!
Easy communication
Easy checkin
Very clean, spacious, well equipped and the most comfortable bed we’ve had in 2 weeks/4 locations in Italy!
The apartment is on the piazza Santa Croce but in the back so it’s super quiet
I would definitely stay there again
We were very happy with this accommodation. It is spacious, bright, good kitchen, comfortable beds and pillows, quiet, lots of hot water and pressure in the shower. The location is excellent right beside Saint Croce Church, lots of restaurants within blocks, a coffee shop next door. The property manager was very responsive. We would stay here again.
We had an excellent stay and really enjoyed this apartment, located right on the Santa Croce piazza. Apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped. We stayed with our young adult daughter and appreciated the space, location and washer. Apartment is up one set of stairs. Host Antonio was very helpful, highly recommended for your trip to Florence.
this apt was perfect for either first time visitors to Florence or others looking to explore the city again… it was perfect location to see so much of the city at doorsteps. The apartment was immaculate and exactly ad show online with everything you would need for a quick or extended stay.wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely stay here again
Our stay at Antonio’s place was great. The location was superb, and the apartment was exactly as it was listed.
Furthermore, António was very responsive to any questions that we had, and he had prepared the place with extra towels and everything my family needed.
We would definitely stay there again and would happily refer this place to friends.
Spacious apartment on the Santa Croce square. Apartment faces the inner courtyard so it is quiet. Clean and well appointed. Has lots of Italian character. We met the owner and he was very friendly. We used the washer/dryer without any problems. Was great to have that option during our vacation.

Nice place, very convenient to everything. But, there was no hot water on arrival. This was fixed as soon as possible, but not a good way to begin a trip after long flights. Then there was also construction that went on all during the day- banging, drilling, etc. right behind the main living area bedroom, kitchen and living room. I had to work during part of the stay so this was a very big issue for me. I reported but no change in the construction the last 3 days and no response on any resolution.

I can clearly see that this review was done only based on frustration and not on objective "problems" that our property has.
How is it our fault if there are construction works that we do not do?
How are we supposed to stop the noise if we are not the ones making it? Also, the double glass covers most of the noise, so I doubt that the noise was very high.
We allowed you to do an early check-in which you didn't mention in the review.
Additionally, when using hot water, allow time for the water to come to temperature.
My husband, daughter and I spent a week at Antonio's apartment! The listing is very accurate...it is clean, spacious and in a great location. You walk out right onto the the Piazza Santa Croce, and conveniently next to a cafe. There are plenty of restaurants at every turn of the streets. Although, we didn't do much cooking...the kitchen appeared well equipped if you desired to cook. Antonio was very quick to respond any questions. Our stay was fun, relaxing and smooth. We would definitely stay there again.
Stay with our family of 2 teens for 4 days in Florence- Antonio was easy to communicate with, check in a breeze. Apartment was extremely clean and felt very spacious with the vaulted ceilings; our daughter slept in small private twin room which was perfect and son on couch which was made into a bed on our arrival. Kitchen spacious with everything needed- used laundry facilities with help of guidebook in apartment. European appliances have washer/dryer settings on same appliance & that was a little tricky. Location right on square in front of Santa Croce was perfect! Definitely would stay here again!

Thank you very much for your review,Erica, and the nice words, we would be delighted to guest you again!
We loved our visit at this very special home.
The owners are lovely, attentive and helpful, offering suggestions on the area.
Location is convenient without being in the noisy parts of the city.
Plenty of hot water with 2 showers. A/C in each room. Washer/dryer and dishwasher work very well.
Restaurant downstairs, but not open terribly late, so very quiet at bedtime.
The swallows can be seen performing their acrobatics over the inner courtyard in the morning.

thank you very much for the review, we appreciate it!!
My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay at Antonio’s apartment. It was spacious, very clean, and it had all the amenities we needed. And the shower was wonderful!
The location in Piazza Santa Croce was perfect.
Many cafes and restaurants nearby. We could walk to most places.
Antonio was an excellent host. He was very responsive to our questions and concerns. He recommended a lovely restaurant. He helped to arrange the return of an item that I had left in a taxi when we arrived.
I would happily recommend this host and this apartment to anyone looking for a good place to stay in Florence!!

Apartment was beautiful and photos were accurate. It was clean, bright and spacious, property manager was very helpful. Fantastic location, walkable to everything! We enjoyed our stay!
Apartment was spacious and washer/dryer on-site was convenient for multi-week stay. Host, Atillio, was responsive, cordial and helpful. Piazza Santa Croce is a nice blend of activity and quiet ambiance close to places of interest in Florence.
L'appartement est très propre, calme et idéalement situé pour découvrir la ville. Petit bémol sur le canapé qui n'est pas très confortable pour dormir...
