Nice place that meets your sleeping, showering and laundry needs while you spend your time out exploring Venice. Host was pleasant and patient and made check in/out easy.
The apartment was excellent and in a very quiet area of Florence. The host provided some snacks and all the amenities were available to us. We were a short distance from the sites. Highly recommended.
This rental is in a great location. A neighborhood away from the big crowds. The place has very limited kitchen space and no outdoor space due to machines being on the balcony. But the place is comfortable and works great for a Florence stay.
Yes I know all the reviews are great, the price was good and in a great location. That’s why I booked it for a whoke month well in advance. In short, this apartment needs love and attention. I can’t bear going into a blow by blow of all the things that were broken or not functioning: Moldy, leaking shower, broken lights, loose electric socket, tired and dirty looking bath mat, broken toilet. See for yourself. I took extensive photos which I will send to VRBO, showing the condition of the apartment upon arrival, and why I had to call my own cleaning crew. Owner defensive and angry when I pointed these things out. This apartment may have been loved for a long time but is clearly being neglected now.

Dear Guest,
generally, I don't reply to review, everyone is free to write his own Critics, but critics must be fair and useful for future guests.
We need to make some clarification, from 45 review (beyond 100 that you can find on the web), some of them just from a few days before your stay (Gaston review 10/10 check out 5 may) and some just after (Parafat review 10/10 check out 22 Juve, Amy review 5/5 check out 29/6/22) you can take evidence that the disaster decrypted in your review is now reality.
It was true that at the entrance of this lady in Merville house, light in the kitchen was broken, my mother that welcome the lady was not able to replace it immediate, but we promptly contact the lady to replace it the same evening, but it was not possible because the lady was not available, so the replacement of the light was postponed and the lady was immediately annoyed.
I did my best to ensure her to have food at home, because she was unable to use the APP of supermarket and I called many times the supermarket to be sure that the food was delivered at his door, but I was admonished because I did not provide personally to deliver the food. I believe that the situation created a bit of stress.
Air conditioning works probably, filters are cleaned annually, and no one never complained despite the very hot season of this year in Florence. The tenant apparently did not use the right program
and I had to explain that to switch she had to press the on button.
It was true that there we had an hydraulic problem in the Bathroom, and the problem was pointed only after 15 days she entered, anyway I did everything to solve the problem immediately.
I did not receive any complain regarding the cleaning and you can clearly see it on all guest's review.
I feel truly sorry about the inconvenience even if I did take care of everything
We loved the location...you can use public transportation or just walk to the city center in 10 minutes.
We stayed a month and went to various close Tuscan towns...like Lucca, Siena, Pisa and Bologna...right from the central train station SMN
Would stay again and recommend.
Very easy to find, parking very close by in a safe place, Francesco was very responsive and helpful. Great location for walking to so many amazing places!
Fantastic location, convenient location close to sites and public transportation. Francesco was accommodating, very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend him and his property. Thank you for the warm welcome and sharing your home with us!
Appartamento situato in un posto comodo per raggiungere facilmente tutto a piedi, vicino sia a parcheggi (a pagamento e non), che a supermercati se si preferisce mangiare a casa. Appartamento molto bello e attrezzato di tutto il necessario per il comfort quando si rientra a casa. Francesco si è dimostrato da subito una persona molto gentile e professionale, rispondendo in maniera molto celere ed esaustiva alle domande poste tramite mail, ma soprattutto nel cercare di risolvere qualsiasi problema o imprevisto accada durante la permanenza. Per questi motivi consiglio vivamente di prendere in considerazione il soggiorno in questo appartamento in caso vogliate trascorrere dei giorni a Firenze.
Location, location, location close to everything yet you get to experience Florence as a local.
Highly recommend , everything was as described.Francesca was there to greet us & explained everything brought us wonderful fruit and delicious cookies.
If you are staying in Florence you cannot go wrong staying here absolutely wonderful!!!

Hébergement bien situé mais parking à proximité très cher
Very nice apartment in a very quiet neighborhood. Easy walk to all the tourist areas but far enough to get away from the crowds when you want. Lots of restaurants nearby and grocery store down the street. Would certainly stay here again. The check-in process was very easy and Francesco was very responsive to any questions or problems.
Every part of this quaint apartment is tactfully decorated. It is a perfect location with wonderful energy. There is a little store a half block away and easy walk to all sites. Book this if you can!!! Only downside is parking--- you'll have to search for a space for a long time, or pay in a parking lot for a day fee.

Very nice apartment, real character, good location outside main tourist areas
This is a lovely apartment with very nice features and character. Francesco's mother met us and showed us around with the details. Plenty of space for a couple, nice & comfortable bed. Near to grocery stores and close to the fine Santo Spirito square and church. Easy walk to center of town and main tourist sites.
Only one small recommendation: provide a bit more interior light for the apartment.
We highly recommend this apartment and would be happy to stay here again.

Lovely little apartment in local neighborhood!
Tasteful decor with pleasant view from bedroom window. Around the corner is a piazza with a park for children, adults playing basketball, soccer or sitting on benches.It is bordered by restaurants, grocery store, bus stop to go to the center of the city. One enters the rhythms of the people who live there. Interesting mix of artists, artisans and working people. Very quiet and away from tumult and tourists in center city. Francesco is a warm and responsive host.
