Great property and the location was perfect for our stay in Florence as it was within walking distance to many of the attractions and restaurants. The apartment was very clean and our host was wonderful. Thanks again for letting us stay at your property.
Maria was the most gracious host.She welcomed us into her apartment with open arms, showed us around and had a map ready to point out the sites.The apartment itself was much larger than what we anticipated. Everything we needed was provided, all the comforts of home. The beds were very comfortable with very nice linens as well. Having access to the washing machine was key too.The location could not have been better. Literally, we were at the center of it all and felt like at every turn the beautiful Duomo was in front of us. One morning over coffee we saw a hot air balloon flying outside the kitchen window, one of many windows. So much natural light in the apartment. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to friends or families visiting Florence. Grazie, Maria, for a wonderful stay!
Great place -- Maria met us right at the door to check us in! Look for the Duomo and you'll find your spot. Close walk to everything! Do get in shape -- the 4th floor walk up will test your legs (especially in the heat)! Place was spotless; would definitely come back!
We enjoyed our stay here and the Host was great and easy to communicate with. The apartment was clean and comfortable. My only advice is if you have issues with your knees, hips, etc., you should be prepared for a lot of stairs. If you’re not in the best shape prior to staying here, you will be by the time you leave!
This apartment was absolutely fantastic and host Maria was so helpful and kind. The location is steps from Duomo and so many other great sites and restaurants and bars and shops. The beds were large and VERY comfortable which is rare. There is no elevator in the building but it did not bother us, it proved to be a good way to walk off the pizza, pasta, and wine. All of the amenities were great and the department had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.

thank you so much Derrik! It was a real pleasure to have me as my guests!
We stayed for a 3 nights in this lovely apartment, close to all attractions in downtown Florence. It was at the top of a lowrise which provided privacy and quiet, from the street below. The kitchen was well equipped, for a home made meal. Soap, laundry soap, linens, towels and cleaning supplies provided. The host kindly checked to ensure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay there again.
This property is conveniently located to everything. Steps away from the Duomo and Giotta's Bell Tower. The Uffizi and Relias Piazza were also extremely close. An abundance of shopping and restaurant options. You can't go wrong with this location! The pictures accurately display the apartment so I was very pleased. Very clean and smartly decorated. The host was more than accommodating and pleasant. She also took the time to give us a local map and show us the interesting spots in the area. I would recommend this property. There were quite a few steps to the apartment but I found that most properties had the same situation.

Thank you so much Sandra for your review! It's always a pleasure to have guests like you!
We loved this apartment for it’s charm and location to all the sites in Florence. Maria was a gracious host and made the whole process enjoyable. We were nit aware if how many stairs there were but i guess that is typical in Florence. Still this would not have been suitable for the elderly or disabled. While it is charming to be close to the bell tower it can also be quite loud at times. We got used to it and even enjoyed the bells. Thank you Maria for probiding such a nice experience for us.
