Wonderful respite

Great first floor apartment, within walking distance of all the sites. We were there during the heat wave and the air conditioning was a blessing.

Great host, great place for its age, and great location.

our stay was wonderful. the location was close to everything we wanted so that we could walk the entire time. Our Host was great, and we enjoyed the place. The temporary water pump was a bit noisy from time to time but my understanding was that it would be replaced in the coming months. My family loved Florence and cannot wait to return! Grazie!

Two weeks stay in Florence

The Vrbo unit was in excellent condition and met our needs. my college buddy and myself always wanted to travel to Florence for its culture and art. The location was Central to the center of town and most everything was in walking distance. The bathrooms are large and clean. Given that we were there for two weeks stay it would’ve been nice to have a little bit more paper products for an extended stay, this is not a negative against the owner… The only concern we had was that we were not aware of of the nightly city taxes on each person in the unit until the day before we got there. I wish was that VR would make this more explicit in the listing. The house was excellent and we would definitely stay there again if we had the opportunity.

Great location!

This apartment is very central to everything in Florence and we were easily able to walk to all the major attractions. We were three couples that stayed here for 4 nights. The apartment is very well equipped but the only thing that was bothersome was the fact that, because of regulations, the air conditioning shut off at 11 pm every night and didn't come back on until 9 am. It was very hot when we were there and opening the windows did not provide any relief. I know this is not the fault of the owners but it was very uncomfortable for sleeping. The showers are very tiny but we found this to be common in Europe.

Nice Apartment, but wish we knew...

My family of 6 stayed here for 3 nights. We were told that someone would be at the apartment to let us in when we arrived. Unfortunately that didn't happen. I sent Gianluca a message, but she didn't reply. I sent texts to the other contacts she listed. No replies. I then had to call the phone numbers. No answers. I never did hear from Gianluca. After about 20 minutes standing outside with all our luggage and being a bit nervous that we'd have to find some place to stay, someone showed up to let us in. He quickly went over a few things with us and was on his way. Before he left, I pointed out that the table was dirty and sticky. He said that was just the way the table cloth was. After he left, I wiped it down and removed a lot of dirt from the table cloth, which gave me the feeling that the cleaning of the apartment was perhaps sub-par. The overall feeling of the apartment made me feel that the cleaning wasn't the best, just ok. The bedspread on one of the beds had spots on it. And some of the shelving was dusty. While the size of the apartment was perfect for our size of family, there were a few things I wished I had known before booking. The apartment is very dark, quite possibly because they are trying to conserve energy. Many light bulbs were removed or not working. I needed the flashlight on my phone to see in my suit case in one of the bedrooms. Because it's an inside unit, there aren't any windows in the rooms. One of the showers can only comfortably accommodate a small child. But the biggest issue was that the AC doesn't work between midnight and 8:00 am. It was very hot during the night and uncomfortable to sleep because there was no AC. On our last day, the circuit blew when we used a blow dryer, leaving us in the dark prior to our departure. While we stayed, we noticed that all of us would wake up with bites each morning. It was too dark to know what may have been biting. I didn't hear from Gianluca during our stay or while we waited to be let in, but she was prompt to reply to my e-mails prior to our arrival. The location was good. It was a 10 minute walk to the grocery store and coffee. I can't say that I wouldn't recommend this apartment, but I just wish I knew the issue with the AC and how dark the apartment was. This may not be an issue for some, but for us it was.

L'appartement comporte bien deux chambres avec deux lits confortables plus un convertible qu'il est un peu moins. L'emplacement est idéal car vous pouvez faire tous les monuments de Florence à pied en moins de 10 minutes

Great location and very comfortable apartment.

Fantastic location in Florence. Close enough to major points of interest, but a few blocks of buffer between the apartment and the hoards of tourists. The apartment is as described and very large. Beds were comfortable. On of the showers is particularly small for anyone over 5'22" and 140 pounds. The owner was very helpful and communicated throughout the rental period. I would highly recommend this apartment.

lovely apartment

A lovely, quiet apartment with excellent facilities and well located. Having two bathrooms, one for each bedroom, is really convenient for a party of four. It is very quiet at night, but just a 5 minute walk from Duomo. Good shops and cafes are nearby, and there is a bus service to the main railway station. The owner is lovely - extremely helpful. We had a wonderful week there, and cannot imagine finding a better apartment in Florence!

Appartament is very comfortable (it looks perfect like a 5 star luxury appartament in a hotel), clean and with much amonities. The owner is very kind and helpful which made our week stay in Firenze a great time. You can eat a breakfast outside in a little yard.There is close to the supermercato and old town

holidays to the top

The apartment was completely as described. It was very comfortable, and spotlessly clean. There were many added supplies in the kitchen that made cooking easy. The apartment was very quiet (mostly on a courtyard) . The apartment's location was absolutely perfect - even better than described. We really felt at home, and hope to return!

simply the best

This must be the best location in Florence. It is in the historic back streets just behind the Duomo. Gianluca is helpful in every way and the apartment is very comfortable and attractive. You must not to be able to handle stairs and it is well worth it.

the best solution

The apartment is extremely well located at walking distance of the most important historical buildings. It is also well equipped and clean. Although is on a ground floor that feels like a forth due to the height of the ceiling, it is not to complicated to get to the apartment. Finally, Gianluca and his brother andrea are extremely nice people. Therefore, I would fully recommend this apartment.

absolutely perfect

Exactly as the website said but with the added advantage of being in an ideal quiet location. Gianluca was lovely and made us very welcome.Barely a few minutes from the centre of Florence this apartment was an oasis of calm after a busy day and very close to the supermarket. It felt like living in Italy rather than just visiting. Everything perfect, extremely recommend.

The apartment is located in the center of the city, there is no better location, about 400 meters from the Duomo. About 10 minutes walk from the station. On arrival we were welcomed by owner.
