This Florence Vrbo was an absolute highlight of the trip. The apartment was impeccably clean, incredibly spacious, and offered a level of comfort that made returning home after a long day of exploring the city feel like a real treat. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, making for a seamless and delightful stay. I couldn't have asked for a better base in Florence and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The apartment is just as beautiful as it looks in the photos. We were here for 6 weeks and it was the perfect place from which to explore Florence. Nothing is more than 25 minutes away on foot. We recommend the Mercato Centrale a few minutes away for amazing peaches (in July). The kitchen is not equipped for elaborate cooking, but we found it sufficient for preparing our simple breakfasts and salads. Antonio was consistently responsive and helpful. The balcony is in full sun during the day but after 6-ish it is shaded and very pleasant. Mostly we didn't need the air conditioner because it is an old building and built to deal well with heat, but during the heat wave we did use the AC and it worked well.

Great location and stay was great!

This is a fantastic place to stay and we loved the location. It was charming and her upgrades were nice. We had to pay a fee in euros for checking in at 6 pm, which was odd . But overall worth it. There's alo a great wine bar right down the street.

Wonderful Stay

We loved our stay. Perfect location. Host was very nice and attentive. We enjoyed the complementary bottle of wine on the terrace. One word of caution is the 4 flights of stairs to the apartment. If you have a large heavy suitcase like I did it was a struggle. Would stay again.

A wonderful apartment in a great location!

Thank you to Antonina helping make our stay in Florence wonderful. The apartment was perfect for my family (Me/Wife/Teenager) and was close to everything that we wanted to see. The 4 floor climb up the stairs can be a bit of a challenge with luggage or after a long day of walking the city but aside from that... terrific.

Best Location in Florence

What a wonderful experience it was to enjoy Antonietta's lovely apartment and her charming hospitality. We sat on the terrace every morning and night, and during the days traveled with ease to all the sights in Florence. The accommodations included everything to make our stay comfortable. It was wonderful.

Wonderful Visit!

Just loved our stay in Florence. The apartment has a great view, the perfect perch to sit and sketch awhile. The sunrise is amazing! The location was ideal, close to everything--and being high up from the street, the city noise was minimal. Those stairs are no joke, though, so pack light and be prepared for a good workout!

This place seemed almost too good to be true. It was not. Simply perfect!

Not only was the apartment beautiful, with a delightful terrace to drink wine or coffee on, the location was literally next door to the Academia Galleria and the Duomo. But the best part of the rental was the owner; Antoinetta was the friendliest, cutest lady ever. If this place is available when we inevitably go back to Florence, I would not want to stay anywhere else.

Excellent location and stay

The apartment was great. We did not lock the iron gate on the third floor based upon reviews so we had no issues with that. We assumed the four flights of stairs would get easier over our 10 day stay. They did not. Antonina checked in on us by message and was very friendly but the language barrier was a challenge. Location was fabulous as was the balcony. Would stay again.

You will never find a more accomadating host than Antoinetta! She goes above and beyond, and we are happy to call her a forever friend now. You'll have a view of the Duomo, lovely sunsets and sunrises from the terrace, it's a perfect location. We look forward to returning some day soon.

We loved the convenience of being about to walk around Florence every day. The 4 floor with no lift was no joke! We usually only left once a day because we dreaded that climb back up! We were disappointed that we were unable to ever get in contact with the owner for check out directions. We cleaned up our messes and left the keys on the table.

A gem in a great location

Apartment very tastefully decorated within walking distance of just about everything. Lovey terrace. Note the 65 stairs may be a challenge for anybody with any kind of mobility issues. The host spoke very limited English, which made communication a bit of a challenge, but her friend, Antonio was super in stepping up to support our needs
