OLTRARNO Appartamento

Very spacious apartment in a great location in Florence. A pretty good value, considering the rate is not that expensive.

This is a large unit, great value for the price and you can’t be in a better location! Very safe. I was there with my 18 year old daughter and suggested she go back and stay here with her friends. It would comfortably sleep 7. The owners were super friendly and were there to let us in as we checked in at 9pm. No air conditioning, only ceiling fans and it happened to be in the 90’s when we were there so that was the only drawback. I didn’t see an electrical converter to charge our iPhones so I would suggest picking one up at the airport or before you go. For you ladies, they do provide two blow dryers :-)

Mery Barrasso is helpful and kind. She arranged taxis, dinner recommendations, and shopping excursions...The apartment is through a courtyard and the gates are easy to open. After walking into the apartment building there are two short flights of stairs to the one person lift. The apartment is located on the third floor. Remember in Europe floors begin with zero. After the front door is unlocked one steps into a well appointed entry way leading to the living/dinning room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The rooms are spacious with much storage. The kitchen has all of the necessities including a washing machine which we used. The bathrooms a good sized shower, toilet, bidet, and sink. Hot water is plentiful. Plenty of bedding and towels and a hair dryer.

The apartment is close (within a few steps) of grocery shopping, fresh produce store, restaurants, and transportation. Even though the street is busy with tourists during the day, everything is quiet at night. The neighborhood is safe for walking . Walking to all of Florence's major attractions is very easy.

This apartment is highly recommended. Our stay was from 12 to 19 of October, 2017. By the way we are a married couple in our middle 70's..

You really can’t beat this apartment’s location. Steps from the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, it’s in the heart of a bunch of cute shops and restaurants, yet somehow provided a quiet retreat from all the noise of the city.

Merry was extremely responsive and flexible with our schedule—she is just so sweet. Everything you could wish for from someone you were renting a place from! The room we were supposed to rent was not ready for us, so she upgraded us to the three room apartment at no extra charge. Both Merry and the place were amazing!

The apartment itself had everything we needed and more. Three large bedrooms, two bathrooms and a very comfortable bed. You can walk to EVERYTHING, and in a short amount of time. We even walked to and from the train station, on the north end of town, with large heavy backpacks no problem.

I would recommend this place to anyone I know looking to stay in Florence. We just wish we had more time there!
