Wonderful apartment for our days in Florence! Central location. Spacious, comfortable beds (even sofabeds). Well-stocked kitchen. Premium feel throughout. Host Valentina was very welcoming and helpful at checkin/out.
Yes, all the previous reviews praising the apartment are exactly true.
Only downside was the very small and cramped balcony, which was right next to a noisy terrace for the hotel next door. But this was only a minor inconvenience since there was no noise just inside. Overall, an excellent value, a fantastic choice
Wonderful Apartment, Good Base to Explore Florence
This is a lovely air-conditioned apartment, spacious and comfortable, and very well represented by the photos in the listing. It's less than a 5-minute walk to the Duomo, which can also be seen from the balcony, and from there, all the main attractions in Florence are walkable if you're reasonably fit and healthy. This made it an ideal base for my husband and I to pop in and out frequently during the day...out and about in the morning, come back for an hour or so's rest and a bite to eat, then out again for the afternoon and again in the evening.
Despite being so central, there was never any undue noise from surrounding hotels and apartments at night. Be prepared to be woken by church bells at 7.00am, though - hey, you're in Florence! We loved it.
Ladies - the icing on the cake as regards amenities was the provision of a proper hairdryer instead of a useless travel dryer (powerful, but never got very warm on the "hot" setting for some reason), and straighteners.
A dustpan and brush under the sink, or a broom to sweep up crumbs etc. would be a useful addition in the kitchen, but I'm sure Valentina would have arranged this if we'd asked...not a big deal at all.
Valentina communicated with us promptly during the booking process, and was so charming and helpful upon our arrival.
We would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommending it to others. We loved Florence so much we'll definitely be back!

An amazing apartment in central Florence.
I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone who wants to be a short stroll away from all the main attractions that beautiful Florence has to offer.
The apartment is fantastic as so well equipped and has everything you need to make your stay very comfortable.
Throughout our stay, Valentina was outstanding in all our contact-friendly and immediately responsive to emails or queries we had.
A truely positive experience and one i would highly recommend
From the moment we arrived and Valentina met us at the door you anticipated this was special…and it was . Starting with an elevator to our room , then the home like comfort of the apartment equipped with everything you could possibly need. Did I mention clean ! It was spotless and without strange odors . The location was great and this was our best rental experience on our three week vacation. Thank You Valentina.
I cannot say enough about our awesome stay at Valentina’s beautiful home. We stayed for 7 days and it truly felt like home away from home. The location is excellent and had all of the amenities you could ask for. But the best part was meeting Valentina who is an outstanding host and the nicest person you will ever meet. She gave us a tour of the apartment and was always available if we needed her. We would love to come back and stay here again in the future.
This apartment was a fantastic find! My husband and I stayed 4 nights and loved it! The location is perfect, close to all of the sights as well as the train station, shops, restaurants. We enjoyed meeting Valentina and appreciated the tour of the apartment upon our arrival. The apartment was very clean, spacious and comfortable. Having a washing machine available is always a bonus! We plan to return to Florence for another trip and will definitely be planning our trip around availability of this apartment!
We stayed at the apartment April 9-18 and had a wonderful time. It is a large, cheerful and peaceful place you can truly call home. What made it different is Valentina who welcomed us upon arrival and explained everything about the place and gave us a welcome gift and recommendation regarding restaurants and answered all our questionsThe apartment is large and furnished with taste and had everything you need . The bedroom is large with a comfortable bed and plenty of closets. The adjoining bathroom has a shower and bidet. There are two large living areas with three sofas and a large dining area with five chairs. There a separate half bathroom. There are many lights and a small balcony with a view of the Dumo. Heating and air conditioning works well. There is an elevator and it is in a safe area with numerous shops and restaurants. Just outside there is a fine cafe and grocery stores. The Dumo is three minutes away and the Uffizi gallery 10-15 minutes walking and the Academia 5 minutes away.Valentina booked a taxi to take us to the airport at 415 AM and it came on time. She is a lovely genuine person willing and eager to help and made us feel at home. Communication with her was easy and she answered our questions and requests promptly I highly recommend this apartment and looking forward to coming back to Florence in my home away from home
Valentina was an incredible host and met us at the apartment. She helped us with a personal issue and checked several times to ensure everything was going well.The apartment is spacious and very clean. The location is excellent. Highly recommend.
Valentina was an excellent host and the apartment was spacious, clean, and centrally located to everything for our 7 night stay. The Duomo was 2 blocks away, grocery stores less than a block, and plenty of restaurants near by. If you rent a car, there is parking (paid for 35-40EU a night) right outside the building entrance door, which made it easy for us to come and go (730am-12am it is open) for our side ventures outside of Florence. Valentia is an excellent host and responded quickly by phone/text to any questions we had. The washing machine came in handy and there is a clothes rack to dry on the patio quickly, as the sun hits that side of the building from the am to mid day. Plenty of basics (salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil, supplied coffee/expresso pods) coffee and expresso coffee maker. If you are looking for a place in the heart of Florence that is spacious, clean, accommodating, and in a very safe location, look no further!
Such a nice apartment with everything we needed for our stay. We started our trip here and then went out to countryside and stayed again at this place to end our trip. It is a great spot close to everything and parking garage made it easy to park our rental. Valentina was super helpful and made the place so nice for us! Highly recommend! We will stay here again if we return.

It was close to everything and we really enjoyed the apartment. Host was great and very informative.
An excellent location near the Duomo, fully equipped and very comfortable apartment (with A/C if the weather is hot) and a most gracious hostess, Valentina.
Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The host was very hospitable and help us with planning our activities. The apartment was clean and well organized. We would be glad to stay here again when we come back to Florence
The Luxury Stunning Duomo view apartment was amazing. Located on a street with 2 small grocery stores and a short walk to Mercato Central. On the same street there is a Gelato shop / Bistro, leather shops and a perfume shop. The apartment is large and was stocked with everything we needed and more, including 2 mini-split air conditioners and an elevator. The bed was very comfy and the apartment was super clean. Valentina was very helpful in explaining everything about the apartment and was quick to answer any questions that we had. If we return to Florence this where we hope to stay.
If you’re looking for awesome, comfortable, centrally located accommodations, at a fair price - with a VIEW of the duomo from your private deck, and a historic homey feel - yet with all the modern amenities travelers (especially American travelers) desire… look no further! This is your place. On top of everything else, Valentina is the sweetest and kindest host! She’s very warm, smart, & experienced - honestly I now consider her a friend - and I’ll never stay anywhere else in Florence again. The apartment has been in her family for many years, and you can tell - it’s the best of both worlds. Examples: AC that actually works, small but typical and functional elevator, comfy couch with TV/netflix/prime/etc; the apartment is massive by any city standards & although we didn’t end up entertaining friends - you could easily do so in this space. Large table with large functional kitchen and all modern appliances - even a 2nd toilet/sink for guests to use. LOCATION: So many shops & restaurants literally at your doorstep. Plus we were able to visit all the “main” attractions yet be close enough to the apartment to allow me to come home and take breaks for my injured ankle. Laundry machine and tons of closet/storage space - total bonus! My injured ankle messed up my boyfriend’s (now fiancé’s) proposal to me, so he ended up pivoting and proposing right in the apartment! This apartment and Valentina will forever hold a special place in our hearts. THANK YOU AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!
Amazing location a 2 minute walk from the Duomo.
Quiet, clean, safe and secure property. So much space!
Valentina had excellent communication and recommendations for the area. 5 star host.
We would absolutely stay here again.

We had a fantastic experience in this apartment. Very spacious, perfect location, and clean. The host - Valentina - welcomed us at the property and was very friendly and helpful. Would recommend this apartment to others looking for a great place to stay in Florence!
The apartment was well equipped, clean and we were thrilled there was an elevator since we packed too many things for our trip! Valentina was very helpful and even called for a
Taxi for us on our last day.
