Sorry that you pointed out what is clearly indicated on our Check in-Check out policy. This has no sense at all....I have been waiting for you till 9pm....very disappointing!
My family of four had a lovely stay at this property. We were very comfortable and enjoyed the sunny sitting room each morning. The location is convenient to restaurants, shopping, monuments and the train station. We would definitely stay here again!
This is a fantastic apartment! Our family of four (kids 15 and 11) was so comfortable with the neighborhood, space, and hosts. Cristina was a great host with excellent communication!We kept saying, "we could live here," which I think is the ideal for a family traveling abroad. The apartment is so close to excellent caffe's and restaurants, as well as a short walk into the heart of Florence. It is the perfect location when you want to get out of the fray and have quiet nights, but can be in the action within 5 minutes. We hope to come back to Florence again and, if we do, we will absolutely stay here if we can.
Great location (somehow was across the street from hotel we stayed in 20 years ago). Close to attractions, wonderful restaurants. Hosts were always available for any questions
This was the perfect place to stay. The location is fantastic. Very clean and spacious. Everything you need is there. Thank you for a great visit to Florence.
This was the perfect apartment to explore the city of Florence and the surrounding area of Tuscany, Rome and Venice. The owners were wonderful to work with and had some great recommendations for us around Florence. We would certainly stay at this apartment again and will recommend to friends.

Thank you Liz, it was a pleasure for us as well to meet with you, Kathy and your daughters. Welcome back any time!
Our group of five seniors enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment in central Florence.
The location is perfect for exploring all of the must see sights in Florence all within walking distance.
Cristina was a great host.
Communication with Cristina was excellent before and during the stay. She was very helpful and friendly and spoke excellent English. The apartment was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring Florence. The information book provided by the hosts was very useful and gave us lots of ideas such as restaurant choices including allergies. We would definitely recommend the apartment.
Excellent location! The rooms were clean and comfortable. Three bathrooms were a plus! We didn't use the kitchen but it had everything you would need to cook a meal. Felt safe and would highly recommend for your next vacation. The owners, Cristina and Antonio kept in touch and answered all of my questions. Grazie mille!
Two weeks in in love with Florence and this property
Perfect for three adult family couples. Spacious, everything just as advertised. Close to everything, great hosts, would return in a nanosecond. This is what VRBO should be all about. Loved every aspect of our stay.

Christina and Antonio communicate with me from the first day of booking until our last day of our stay. They were welcoming and provided every detail needed for our arrival until departure. The house was beautiful, clean and lots of natural light. Every amenity that you need while traveling and away from home for a long time. The location was perfect, very easy to walk from the train station and all the local Florence sites. I would love to stay there again!
Love this gorgeous apartment, lots of room, bright and airy, best location, clean and well appointed. Thank you for the bottle of Prosecco Cristina! Look forward to returning in the future!
Beautiful, clean, spacious apartment. Great location!
Amazing apartment and managed so well! The location was perfect and a 10-20 min walk to wherever we wanted to go. Apartment was super spacious, very clean, and updated. Beds were very comfortable. Air conditioning units in every room. Host was professional, very helpful and gracious. I would definitely recommend and stay again!
It was a fabulous stay in the heart of Florence close to all the sights. The apartment was absolutely sparkling clean which we so appreciate. The only downside was that we couldn't figure out the hot water at the apartment but since it was so very hot, we did appreciate those cold showers very much. Air conditioning was super and helped alleviate the heat. Cristina was responsive and helped us navigate the restaurant scene with her recommendation. Loved our stay and we would stay again!

Conveniently located and pleasant apartment
Overall the stay was very comfortable and pleasant. Location is very convenient to many tourist spots and especially worthwhile for anyone considering taking the train. Surprisingly you can hear late night time noises from outside. There is one quirkiness about this building...after getting off the elevator, there is another 20 +/- steps to the top floor where the apartment is actually located...so be ready to haul your luggages (^^)

Dear guests , sorry to hear about your difficulties climbing 20 steps after elevator , it is clearly specified in the description and showed in photos .
Regarding the noise we are located in a restricted traffic area on a thirth floor but In the very heart of the city ..........
Thank you for sharing your opinion
We spent Christmas here this year and had a wonderful time. Our family of four (two college age kids) spent our Christmas in Florence. It was the first time we were not home for Christmas but we felt right at home at this apartment. We had plenty of room to spread out. The location is perfect, very close to the train station and walkable to all the major sites. The neighborhood is great with lots of good places to eat. And communication with our hosts was easy and efficient. They took very good care of us.
We particularly loved the rooftop views of Florence and the light it provided to the apartment.
We highly recommend this property.

Thank you so much Michael, it was our pleasure to welcome and host you all! Hope you will be back again some day.
Wow!! What a beautiful place. We stayed at this wonderful apartment for 3 nights and loved every minute. From the spacious living area, a well appointed kitchen to the beautiful bedrooms and comfortable beds. We traveled with another couple so there were 4 adults and the apartment could have easily accommodated 2 more.
The apartment is beautifully furnished and decorated with just the right touch to make us feel at home.
Cristina is a great communicator that made it easy for us to check in and out and she was available for questions during our stay. Prosecco and water upon our arrival was also a special touch that made us feel welcomed.
We will be back :)

Thank you Anna, we are glad to have succeeded in our effort and goal to make you all feeling comfortable and welcome in our apartment. Looking forward to another opportunity!
Very comfortable apartment in the heart of Florence - as long as you don’t mind climbing stairs
This apartment is 10 minutes walking distance to all the main attractions and from the main train station. Can’t beat the location. There is also a grocery store just around the corner and an ATM machine and plenty of restaurants. The owner was super polite and helpful and welcomed us in person to explain everything. The rooms are comfortable but the showers are very small for U.S. standards (average for Europe). The only downside is that you need to do some stair climbing to get there - the total number of steps is around 90 but most of it can be avoided by using an elevator. Also if someone has a fear of heights getting to the top floor can be a bit scary. So overall a great apartment in a great area but not for everyone. We would stay here again.
Cristina was an absolute pleasure to have as a host. She met us right on time and showed us around the lovely apartment. The property is very spacious and full of light. Each of the 3 bedrooms had plenty of storage, comfortable beds and charming décor. The kitchen/ dining area is absolutely stocked with everything you might need. Cristina also provided bottled water and a lovely bottle of prosecco. She was always quick to respond to any questions we might have. The lounging area is a cozy bright spot with huge windows that open to let in fresh air and the sound of church bells. There are some extra stairs you will need to climb to enter the apartment, but even with our heavy bags we were able to navigate them without too much effort. The neighborhood is charming and very easy to reach from the train station. I highly recommend this spot for any length of stay in Florence.

Thank you so much Chemyn for your kind words. It was a trye pleasure to meet with you and your companions. I hope that you will be back again ❤️
TOP ROOF PALAZZO DEL MARCHESE was one of the best apartments I have ever rented. It was perfectly located near all the main attractions in Florence, an easy walk to the train station, and is as beautiful as the photos presented. Antonio and Cristina were available, informative and communicative, quick to respond to our needs. They personally greeted us and showed us around the apartment. The apartment was clean, well stocked (even a bottle of Prosecco and coffee). Plenty of nice dinnerware and pots and pans, coffee maker, blender, etc. Check in was easy and as far as security it was the best I have ever experienced. You pass through three locked entrances to get to the apartment. If you follow the rules you should not have any concern about your safety or valuables. Also, you have many trattorias, cafes and restaurants right outside of the building. It was clean and comfortable. We had 5 adults staying there and had plenty of space, seating, hot water and beds. I would definitely stay here again while in Tuscany. Also, we hired them one of the days to take us to winerys in Chianti and San Gimignano and were very pleased with their services.
