Great location, close to all attractions, quiet for the most part. Very good selection of kitchen appliances. Only negative was a water leak in the bathroom. When we contacted the owner they asked us to clean it up with a mop, which we were happy to do so. Unfortunately mop was dirty and so we spread dirt all over the bathroom floor. Luckily it was our last night so we worked around the issue.

I am sorry for the issue, the cleaning service has done a wrong thing leaving the mop dirty, but it can happen due to the fact that it is outside of the apartment. We really dont’t thing to deserve 4 stars only for this, but we respect your opinion.

Spacious and Great Location

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was extremely spacious, especially in comparison to everywhere else we stayed in Italy. There is definitely some street noise at night, so may recommend bringing a white noise machine if you’re a light sleeper. Close proximity to plenty of dining and site seeing. We would stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay . The apartment was exactly as advertised. Full kitchen, complete with cooking oils , some spices. The cooktop vent didn’t work but they’re going to get it attended to. Lots of guide books and lists of recommendations for dining options. Strong wifi too. Comfortable bed. Bonus bunk beds.Big bonus for us, no stairs!

The host was so kind and flexible. Helped me feel comfortable especially navigating a new city. I'd say they went above and beyond. The house is cute and comfortable, everything you need. It is right on the street in a neighborhood which honestly being in a neighborhood in Florence opened up better dining experiences. Still walkable and I felt safe as a solo, female traveler on the streets etc.

Agnese the property manager was responsive, professional, and polite. I highly recommend the “Close to the Duomo” apartment for your next visit to fabulous Florence.

The location was convenient. The apt had a strange odor. There were lots of air fresheners but they were all empty. The sheets were nice, the towels were a bit worn. The apt needs a refresh.

Are you sure you are talking about our apartment? The bathroom has been recently renewed with a new glass shower, and the washing machine is not much older than three years. We have painted the whole apartment one year ago, and the cover sheet of the sofa is renewed any year. Stoves are new and we cannot figure out what should we have to refresh. Sheets and towels are from the cleaning service and we haven't had any claim before. Anyway we can surely improve our welcoming, but we will be glad to know which things we have to change.

This was our first visit to Florence and we were not disappointed. The apartment is on the ground floor and easy to access with luggage. It is a short walk to all of the major city sights. Communication with the owner was excellent. The apartment was comfortable and met our needs for the three nights we were there. Excellent location and a local, well stocked grocery store is just down the street.

Just as Advertised

Annalisa's apartment was beautiful and very well maintained. We only spent 2 nights but it was a very nice environment and well equipped place to stay. Her daughter Sarah met us upon arrival and we were able to check in and leave our luggage a bit earlier than originally confirmed, she was very hospitable and gave us great information and suggestions on where to visit and eat like a local.

Check-in was somewhat confused. Place was not ready and was given a quick cleaning. I thought the place had two bedrooms but it really only had one with a wall between but there was no door and you had to go through the adjoining bedroom to go to the bathroom.

Hi France, sorry for the check-i. As explained, the previous guests locked the gate and the cleaning service could not enter, that's the reason for the delay. About the two rooms: in any part of the listing it is written that we have two bedrooms. The home is 60 mq, that is larger than the medium of the apartment in Florence, and has one bedroom at all. If you had explained me that you needed two separate rooms, we could take into consideration the sofa bed at the entrance. The photos are clear and I am sorry you thought to find something different.

It has all you need to stay for several days, a week. Road traffic till 10:30 each night. Small shower. Please update the mattress to match the rest of your lovely home.

Fantastic Location

Annalisa and Vincenzo's apartment is charming and well appointed. Vincenzo met us at the apartment; gave a tour and tips of the spacious place. Annalisa provided a great notebook for suggestions of local restaurants, grocery, gelatorias, and attractions.Annalisa communicated via text before, during, and after our marvelous stay. While there isn't parking on site, there are garages nearby. Our stay fell during a particularly rainy time in Florence. Air fresheners and room heaters helped make the apartment feel cozy.The location of the apartment is perfect. We easily walked throughout the city. So much to discover; wish we could've stayed longer.

In a great location that is generally clean and felt safe. Close to many services and attractions. Nice apartment with many amenities. A good amount of city noise was present late into the evening. The main downside was that there were many insects and spiders. We were all bitten each night, all over. It was truly unpleasant, uncomfortable and unattractive. One of the bunk beds smelled of weed. Lastly, it would’ve been preferable to receive two house keys so people in our party could move independently.

This apartment was perfect for our stay. It is a little far from the train station. Be sure you know how to get on the tram and then either walk or take the bus to get closer to this location. We walked a lot as it never was convenient to get a taxi to/from there. Use Freenow or ItTaxi. Many thanks to Vincent for waiting on us as we were delayed from the train station to get there trying to figure out their transit system at first. And when we left neither us or Annalise could summons a taxi because it was a national holiday we had to walk with luggage again far away to get to tram because buses were not running regularly. The tram is great. Conad City (grocery store)has prepped meals to buy if you want to eat in. Use Unicredit for the ATM down the street. The restaurant not far down the street was a Restaurant by Chef Eric which was delicious, we ate there several times. There are coffee shops close by also. There is some outside noise I could hear since the streets are so narrow and right next to the building but did not wake me up it’s just how narrow the street is when cars or scooters go through or people are talking when they walk down the street. Annalise was so kind to answer any questions we had about the area. She told us where to find an authentic leather shop. It was great to have a washer/dryer midway of our trip. Just like anywhere we go, by the time it’s time to go we have figured out navigation and public transit systems. Finche non ci incontreremo di nuovo!

Great Place!

This was our first experience with any kind of Home Away/Airbnb place and it was great! Annalisa left a nice book of information about the area and instructions on how to use everything. The apartment is close to everything so we could walk everywhere. The area felt safe too. It can be a little noisy so bring earplugs and it won't matter. We would stay there again!

Perfect location/comfortable apartment

My husband and I stayed at Annalisa's apartment for 4 nights on our visit to Florence. She graciously allowed us to check in early due to our flight arrival. The locations was great and we could easily walk to the Uffizi and the Duomo. It was very convenient having the washer and dryer. The only slight issue is the shower pan has ridges which are uncomfortable on one's feet and there weren't enough hooks to hang up towels. We would definitely stay there again!
