We selected this property based on location and it did not disappoint. It’s in a wonderful area with walkable access to museums, galleries, shopping, fabulous restaurants and the sites of lovely old Florence. Also the king-size bed was super comfortable, the kitchen is well-equipped and our host was very nice. Thank you, Diane and Stephen.
Marco was a fantastic and flexible host who greeted us so warmly as we arrived in Florence. It was so easy to get around to the major sites from this central location.Grazie mille, Marco!!!
The property was just a described. It had everything we needed and more. Marco greeted us and was extremely helpful. He showed us where everything was, made great recommendations and was flexible with checkout. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Marco!
A perfect location in the heart of Florence with plenty of space for the whole family. Two large bedrooms, a family room with a pullout couch, separate kitchen, full bathroom and small water closet. The apartment was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed for our short stop in Florence. Despite the crowds in Florence, the apartment was very quiet and is about a 15 minute walk from the train station. Would happily stay here again and appreciate the excellent communication from the host. Thank you for a great stay!
Apartment had everything we needed. Washer was small, but efficient. Location is hard to beat. Lots of good restaurants and cafes nearby. Not a bad walk from the train station and all the other sights. Would not hesitate to stay here again.
Nice place. Hosts are super nice. Centrally located and well appointed.

We met the owner at the outside door. He was very nice and took us through the entire property and showed us how to use things. He also showed us some of the local sites, including a local grocery store, which was greatly appreciated.
The property has an interesting layout with the two bedrooms in the back on opposite side of the hall from each other. The living room is a separate narrow room in the middle and there are one and a half baths that separate the rest of the apartment from the kitchen. The beds were all comfortable with nice new sheeting. The bathrooms are very small compared to USA standards but everything works. Contrary to the listing, there is no hot tub. It is only a normal bathtub with glass on half of the tub for a shower. If you are a larger person, good luck with that ;). The kitchen had pots and pans, silverware, dishes, mugs, a toaster, hot water heater for making things like tea, and a small coffee maker. unfortunately, the carafe on the small coffee maker was cracked so we only used it once. The owner is working to replace it. The egg pan should be replaced or use lots of oil so your eggs will not stick. Having some extra coffee was fantastic and much appreciated! Between the kitchen and the half bath, the floor is raised so be careful at night so you don’t stub your toe. Neighborhood seemed very safe place for coffee and breakfast across the street and lots of restaurants in the area.
Overall we enjoyed this apartment but found it overpriced. Pros: LOCATION, clean, spacious in general, good host responses, easy check-in, nice starter collection of edible bites and liquids, good spaces for hanging clothes, good water pressure and hot water. Cons: both bathrooms are cramped for space (especially the second one), the chairs in the living room are uncomfortable (need good cushions), no microwave, surprise steps in the corridor. No lift for luggage.
If you love being in the heart of the action, you’d be hard pressed to find a better accommodation. The apartment was less than 1/2 block from Uffizi square. Only Saturday night was rowdy but we had earplugs so it was no problem for us. Just added to the fun. Very helpful hosts also. Great experience.
My husband and our grown sons recently stayed at Tania's apartment in Florence. From the beginning, Tania was very helpful answering all of our questions. She even gave us the name of a wonderful coffee shop and restaurant that we had to try during our stay.
We arrived early in the day and were not able to check in until later that afternoon. Tania, however, gave us the name of a storage facility called Stow Your Bags near the apartment. We were able to leave our bags there and return later that afternoon to check in.
The apartment is clean, spacious, had everything we needed, including a nice air conditioner. Which is very important when visiting in the summer. I would also suggest bringing extra soap and shampoo. They provide some, but it may not be enough if you are staying for a few days. We also packed a few shopping bags. Made it easier to carry groceries from the nearby markets.
The area can be a little noisy at night. However, the apartment is in a great central location close to many shops, restaurants and tourist attractions. If we ever come back to Florence, we would definitely stay here again!

Very clean and spacious apartment right in the middle of Florence and close to everything. Included one king bed (not a smaller queen or double) and two single/twin beds, which was perfect for our family of four. Large, full kitchen and a 4kg washing machine (small by US standards but worked very well). Hosts were very accommodating with recommendations and arranged for a cab to the station on our last day. Location is great and walking distance to just about everything but be prepared for normal city noise when you're so close to the action. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay! This apartment had tons of room for our family of 5, including an extra half-bath/toilet room that was very nice to have! Just steps away from the Uffizi Gallery and close to every big sight and so many great restaurants.
We stayed here for 4 nights with our kids and twin granddaughters. The apartment had everything we needed. Communication with the host was easy. They were gracious hosts, having water bottles and a few snacks set out for us. The location was in the middle of everything with wonderful cafes, Wine bars and excellent restaurants all within a few minute walk. As wonderful as the location is, it's very loud at night into the wee hours. Lots of loud laughter and hollering. The price to be paid for staying so central! We solved this with a white noise machine app on my phone. It was also very, very crowded the weekend we stayed, the last night was much quieter. Overall, wonderful stay in Florence.
Bellissima casa in centro, molto spaziosa, pulita. Proprietaria molto disponibile e gentile.

Well located
This apartment is well located in the heart of Florence. The apartment is good size and has two separate bedrooms. A plus was that there was an extra bathroom with a toilet and that the AC worked very well!

Great location, clean and comfortable
This apartment had all we needed. Plenty of room for 3 people to be comfortable in the living room. Windows opened for a cross breeze. Two bathrooms were great for us 3 women. Kitchen seemed well supplied though we didn't cook much. The location was excellent- near Uffizi and short stroll to the Duomo and large food market. Lots of restaurants nearby. Only one drawback. The streets could be noisy, especially on the weekend. Bring your earplugs.

Best Place Ever!!!
What a wonderful stay at this beautiful property! It is in a best location, well furnished, and just perfect! Valentina is a sweetheart, greeting us at the property with such kindness, and taking so much time to provide helpful tips with transportation, restaurants, and more. She also had snacks and beverages waiting on us. While stepping out the door of the property, we visited wonderful restaurants and coffee bars with the friendliest employees and owners. This property compares to no other we experienced in Italy.

This was spacious apartment with a complete kitchen and all amenities, in a great location, with plenty of restaurants, shops in the heart of Florence. Valentina was very helpful in meeting us at the nearby parking garage then escorting us to the apartment and getting us settled in. I have already recommended this apartment to family who live in Italy and are planning a visit of their own.
