Grande Upscale Appartamento a Firenze

Had a very pleasant stay at this apartment, location is very convenient just a few minutes bus ride to downtown, and parking was easy to find.

Would definitely stay again.

We, a family with two kids (14/17) just had a beautiful week in Fierence. The appartement is large and spacious and looked exactly as described in the ad. We extensively used the well-equipped kitchen for cooking after our daily trips to the Ufficies, Siena, Pisa, the cathedral, ... Our special thanks go to Gianna as a landlord who gave us some meaningful hints for shopping etc. The appartement was extremly clean, however we can only give four stars in total due to the renovation work in the house with some noise going along with it. Temporarily only but unfortunately during our stay.

Replace super host .

Very nice accommodations great location couldn't ask for anything better. Older sister was fabulous in directing us to the proper places that we needed to go restaurants food and wine. Would recommend this to anyone . Will go back there soon

We stayed in this apartment Dec. 28 to Jan. 2, 2018. We really liked that apartment and would stay again. The apartment is very spacious with 2 good size bedrooms. It has a large living room with several balconies. The kitchen is fully equipped and it has a nice sized dinning room. The bus stop is across the street and buses run every 20 minutes. We stayed over new years and did not have any problems with the buses. The only thing is that the apartment was not as warm as we wanted it to be but wearing sweatshirts solved the problem.

In all we enjoyed our stay and would return again to the apartment. Gianna meets us and was very pleasant and helpful.

We stayed at this property from March 11 through April 7, 2017. If you want a long term rental in Florence out of the city center but with easy access to all of the sights this is a great choice. While there are a few quirky things about the apartment, its positives far outweigh any negatives. Overall we really liked the property and would stay here again. We were two older retired couples who relied upon public transportation throughout our stay. The bus stop directly in front of the apartment building is a huge plus and gives you easy and inexpensive to all of Florence. We bought passes at the bus office at the train station so we did have to buy a ticket each time we rode the bus, a definite must. Two buses inbound for the city center - the 17 and 11- stop directly in front of the apartment house. Buses are there approximately every 20 minutes throughout the day. Coming back to the apartment the stop is about a block away at the Cento Stelle stop. Very, very convenient.

The apartment's kitchen was equipped with all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed to cook our meals. There are shops - butcher, dairy products, fruit and vegetables, and a mini market - just across the street. For everything else you might need there is a supermarket about a 10 minute walk away. The apartment has a small cart so you don't have to carry all your groceries from the supermarket. Also within a block or two of the apartment is a place to buy pre-prepared meals (Cento Stelle Rotisceria (sp?)), a gelateria, post office, and bar/cafe.

The apartment is very spacious. The two bedrooms are good sized with comfortable beds. There is a dining room off the kitchen for meals and a large living room for relaxing, reading in the evenings.

During our stay we had a plumbing problem and Gianna, the owner's sister who was our point of contact, was very responsive. It is my understanding from her that the owner intends to upgrade the bathroom to address the problem we encountered (we had problems regulating the temperature of the bath water in one bathroom). Also, on several occasions we overloaded the electric circuit requiring getting into the fuse box and resetting the breaker. No big deal.

All in all we really enjoyed our stay in this apartment and would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in staying in Florence but out of the city center. As an aside we speak very little Italian but our lack of language was not a problem here.
