We definitely recommend staying at this apartment. Marco gratiously met us there to let us in and show the apartment. It was just the right size for our family of 4. There are a full bathroom and a half bathroom. There's also a table in the kitchen. The rooms each had an AC unit that we could adjust, so the apartment was nice and cool during an extreme heatwave. Also, the location was excellent for visiting all the main attractions in Florence. Most things were within 10 minutes walk.

Perfect location! Everything was within 10-15 minute walk! The central location did come with some street noise, especially on the weekend, which for us happened to be Easter. Safe! Only 32 steps. Bathroom was narrow so taller guests may need to use the half bath. Washer was the small, but functional. Apartment is as pictured with addition of desks in the bedrooms, newer TV and dishwasher. Host was very responsive and incredibly helpful!! We hope we can come back!! Highly recommend!! Grazie Mille!!

Our family of five had a wonderful stay in Florence at this lovely apartment. It's a great location, and Marco was an amazing host. Check-in was super easy. We didn't cook any meals, but the kitchen was well appointed and useful for drinks and snacks. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Florence.

Great location and great layout of the flat for our family of 4. The only downside, the living room didn’t allow for a place to relax very well, but we spent most of our time outdoors so not a major issue for us. Could be an issue for a family that is looking for a comfortable place to relax. Otherwise a fantastic home!

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.

Great location. Comfortable beds. The cafe across the street was perfect for morning coffee & breakfast. The one downside was the washing machine was musty/moldy and was unable to be used. We were only there 2 nights so didn’t have a chance to have the host fix since the stay was so short. Otherwise we were very happy.

The apartment was wonderful, the air-conditioning, amazing! It is walking distances to all the museums, restaurants, bakeries, shopping etc. There is a wine window right outside our door, it was the perfect location.

Mr

I’d give them 6 out of 5 if I could. The location was great, the apartment was spacious, clean and it felt like a home away from home. There were the comforts that we needed after long days visiting Florence and the countryside. Marco was quick to respond to any questions I had.

Perfect Location in Florence

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!

The apartment was lovely, in the heart of town by Piazza Della Signoria where the Uffizi Museum also sits along side many sculptures. It’s close to everything! The host of the residence, Marco, was incredibly gracious and kind, promptly responding to any questions. He left us a bottle of wine and cake for our arrival. We’re a party of six and loved the open spaciousness of the apartment It was so much room! No cramped spaces. We were also pleased with a small washer and a huge kitchen with a phenomenal stove set up if you wanted to prepare meals. Everything was clean and nice. Great beds. Clean linens. Def 5 stars for cleanliness, amenities and the helpfulness of the owner who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time in Florence. I’m so glad we stayed here instead of a hotel. Perfect experience. Marco will 100% take exceptional care of you! He’s 100% a great person to book an apartment with in Florence!

Dream location

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.

Excellent location in Florence

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.
