Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the apartment's strategic location and that our courtyard served as your relaxing oasis after long days of walking through the city's history. It will be an absolute pleasure to host you again in the future!
Thank you so much Nancy for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that everything was perfect during your stay. It was a pleasure having you, and we hope to see you again soon!
The apartment was perfect for the 3 of us! We loved the inner courtyard in the morning enjoying our coffee. It was easy walking distance to all of the museums, piazzas, cathedrals & shopping. Check in and check out were easy. Rosy was very responsive to any questions we had. It was a perfect stay.
We were very happy to find a clean and well appointed apartment in a quiet neighborhood. The location was superb. We were easily able to walk to venues and the train station is nearby. There are lots of really good quality and priced restaurants in the area. And the coffee shops! Chocolate croissants! The beds were so comfortable, couldn’t believe it. We looked forward to laying down each night. And we so enjoyed the patio. Thank you Rosy for a lovely VRBO

Dear Aleta, thank you for your positive review and suggestion. About the bed I understand is about the personal habit and taste and I regret it was too hard for you. We use hotel characteristic mattresses and they are such style. Will take your words and see how can get better in the future.
With love from Florence.
This property was perfect for our family of four (children aged 15&12). It’s location was a short walk from the train station, all attractions and the grocery store. Would highly recommend!

I am happy that you appreciated my apartment. It was really a pleasure to host you and I will be happy if you want to come back in the future.
Place was nice and clean and easy to get to all locations from. 3 of us were able to spread out. Nice to have the little court yard as we were there during a heat wave.

Why they chose this property
Being the apartment on the ground floor it is easy and comfortable to carry your luggage in. The location of the apartment allows our guests to come back home and having a break during the day, and sightseeing later... without taking any bus or taxi. Arriving by train our guests can reach our apartment from the S.M. Novella railway station easily on foot (15 minutes) without taking any cab or bus, if they wish. From SM Novella railway station our guests can get buses or train to easily reach (and without driving) all the most important towns of art in Tuscany (Siena, Lucca, Pisa, Arezzo).
What makes this property unique
A great advantage of this apartment is the outside space that is of exclusive use of our customers. The entire apartment overlooks a private inner courtyard (not the road) and that's why at night you don't hear any noise of traffic although the street is not busy. Moreover our guests can relax and eat open air. Being situated on the ground floor it is easy and comfortable to carry in your luggage without having to climb several stairs. Our apartment is located in an ideal location, close to everything but away from the crowds of tourists, in a typical Florentine neighborhood. Free Internet WI-FI and Smart TV
