Our family loved this apartment. It is an easy walk to everything, with restaurants shops and anything you are looking for very close. The host was super helpful and ensured we had a great stay. Jeff
Host communication prior to visit was easy clear with email. Timely upon meeting us at property, provided welcome treat, coffee and had suggestions for restaurants. Location was excellent for 3 days visit to Florence city center. Would stay again. Thank you Simona for a lovely visit.
Nice apartment in a wonderful location. Our only issue was the A/C’s, they were regulated to a high temperature. Very uncomfortable sleeping at nights due to the poor A/C temperature limits.
Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2026

Dear Rocco
I sorry to hear that, most of all sorry you did not advise and give us the chance to check if everything was working properly. Previous guests seem not to have problems with the a/c.. actually everyone reported they were very happy with the a/c..
One thing is for sure, the a/c system we are allowed to provide (due to strict rules in the historical city center) are not able to reach 64 Fahrenheit (that by the way we consider insane) especially with the creamy outside weather we experimented all over Europe.. but it easily gets to 71/72 that is a really good and cool temperature. If you felt it was higher than that you could reach us and let us verify if something was wrong helping yourself and our upcoming guests. It’s always suggested to advise the host of any possible issue and give the chance to fix it.
So again sorry for not fully enjoying your staying
Wonderful apartment. I would book this apartment again. It was clean, modern, and close to the sites. It’s off of the Main Street so there wasn’t any issues with street noise or shops below. This is by far the nicest apartment we’ve stayed in Italy so far
Very nice set up and easy check in and out. Honestly for us was absolute perfect location. One street over from tons of restaurants/shops on a street that was not very busy. We walked to everything except the train station.Felt very safe for me with my wife and two your daughters!!!
Excellent location and convenience. Our host took time to walk us through all the details of the apartment and its features. We were very happy with our choice!
It was a wonderful stay in a very prime location. Easy to walk to all the major sites in Florence. Lots of local restaurants nearby. Also, Simona was so amazing. She was readily available to answer questions and met us in person to check us in. Highly recommend this property!
Great location, and Simona was incredibly quick to help us with a problem that resulted from an oversight on our part. We had an outstanding visit in Florence, and this apartment was a perfect place to stay.
Very good apartment, perfectly situated to explore Florence. Our flight was delayed and contact with the owners was very easy and they were able to accommodate us arriving later than planned. The apartment had everything you needed, was a good size and on a side street so was not noisy at all.
Lovely apartment within walking distance of most major tourist spots. Clean and spacious with good air conditioning. They added a third bed to the master for our family and the apartment met our needs perfectly.
Truly a great place to stay. It is within walking distance to everything. Great communication with the owner. The place is spotless and we used all the amenities. Washer, dish washer, kitchen.
Loved our stay here - it is in the best location to enjoy all of Florence, with wonderful places to eat and visit right around the corner. Simona was a wonderful host and the property is both charming and clean with comfortable beds. Was the best place we stayed while in Italy! Highly recommend.
Simone was a wonderful host, the apartment was immaculate and the location was perfect. I would stay there anytime I visit Florence! The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were newly renovated and fresh. Overall, our stay was excellent.
This apartment is beautiful, appeared to have been recently remodeled. Incredibly clean. Fantastic location! We really enjoyed our trip & Simone was wonderful.
This apartment is exactly what you need for Florence.
Everything was superb and the host went out of her way to make sure we are comfortable - even retrieved a lost bag for me!
Don’t sleep on this unit!!! This was a wonderful place to stay and we would easily come back here again. Well located to the train station, shopping, Duomo and more. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay and the owners were exceptional to deal with.

About the host
Hosted by Simona Tofani
I am Simona, a florentine in love with her city! I am also a traveller that likes to feel home away from home
That's why I have, together with my mom and my siter, appointed this apartment thinking about what I would have loved to find in a home away from home..
Why they chose this property
We already owned the apartment besides, so when the owners of this unit decided to sell it we thought it was a great idea to purchase this one too!
We love the area, so in the centre of the centre but yet quiet and really close to everything
