Excellent stay

We loved the overall experience of Florence. The apartment was in a great location. We could walk anywhere we wanted to go. It would have been helpful to have a book with instructions on getting cabs and using the bus system. I suspect they would have helped if I asked in advance however those things were never planned. I would stay there again, certainly. Very safe area with amazing restaurants all around us.

Spacious and Updated Accommodations in Florence

We loved this apartment. It was updated, spacious, cleaned and comfortable, and accommodated our family of 5 well. The location is great - a short walk to Pont Vecchio and the Uffizi Gallery, as well as for crossing the Arno River to hike up to Piazzale Michelangelo. A grocer is also a short walk away for supplies. Water pressure, electricity and air conditioning all worked very well. We also loved this apartment for a stay in the middle of our trip where we needed to do laundry. The laundry machine worked well and was fast, and the apartment has a small private, enclosed courtyard where we were able to hang our clothes out on drying racks and it all dried so quickly. We would absolutely recommend this apartment and stay here again.

Location is excellent - walkable to all major sights - and property is reasonably spacious. Property was clean and beds comfortable, but the couches were very uncomfortable. Entrance seems a little sketchy, but once inside, it is bright, clean and modernized. Owners were a little slow to reply to a maintenance problem we had, but once they replied, they resolved the issue quickly. Listing implies they have a washer/dryer, but they only have a washer; clothes have to be line dried. Also, property did not have any detergent for the dishwasher stocked, which would have been helpful. On par though, it was a great experience. We would recommend.

Good location but...

This was a nice, ground-floor property in a good location, next to the Arno River, a block away from the Santa Croce Basilica, and close to the Uffizi Museum. Overall, the pros outweighed the cons for a rating rounded up to 4-stars. We stayed over Christmas to New Year's Eve. I was worried about the cold, but forced-air heaters in each bedroom kept us cozy. The beds and pillows were comfortable, and the bathrooms were updated and clean with plenty of hot water and water pressure.The living-room/dining room is really a wider hallway, but turning the dining room table sideways gave better access to the second bedroom. The couches were very small sectionals, which my husband and teenagers found uncomfortable. The kitchen was large and all appliances worked well. No dryer, but drying racks are provided. Also, the third bedroom didn't have storage for clothing, though there was room for wardrobes, so it was hard to contain my sons' clothes.The biggest issue was conflicting messages from the host. I suspect a third party, close to the host, obtained access to the VRBO account and repeatedly messaged me asking for the cleaning fees and city taxes in cash to be left in the lock box, which I did. I should have been careful to check payments, but when I messaged the host to say the cash was in the box, he messaged back saying I had paid in full. We retrieved our cash and I warned the host to change passwords and the lockbox code, which I'm sure he did. Still, 4 stars overall.

deceitful photos and noisy location for 2 out of 3 rooms

The photos made the space look much cleaner, nicer and bigger. However, the living room area was not big enough to hangout in. The couch was tiny, old and dirty. The room also smelled of faint cigarette smoke. The two rooms facing a main street were directly in front of a bus stop. On Saturday night, we heard people, car doors and loud noises until after 4am. The cigarette smoke was also seeping into the apartment from this bus stop. In the middle of our trip, the electricity went out. The host gave us steps to out of the apartment, into a dark hallway and trip the circuit breaker. We did not have anything plugged in or use the TV, hair dryer or anything. But the electricity went out every 5 - 10 minutes. I was unsafe for our father who needs a CPAP machine for sleep. We had to vacate the room to find another place to stay at 2 am and the host was not helpful. The issue was not that the whole building lost power due to a reason out of the host's control. All other residences in the building had power. There was a short of some sort in the this apartment and he refused to help us. We also did not have enough soap or toilet paper in the apartment that was supposed to be for 5-6 people. They told us we had to go to the store. Overall, it was a huge disappointment and we are shocked the host is a premier host.

Photos trompeuses sur la disposition et la taille de l'appartement

Pas d'eau chaude et chauffage à l'arrivée le 24 décembre, rétablis seulement le lendemain midi... Pas de wifi, rétablis 3 jours plus tard... La 4G ne fonctionne pas car appartement semi enterré. Salle à manger affichée sur le site a disparue, transformée en chambre. On a donc retrouvé la table à manger dans le couloir qui fait office de salon, impossible de s'asseoir à 6. Ni sur les minis canapés inconfortables. Et cerise sur le gâteau, annoncé 120m2, l'appartement est plus proche de 80m2 ! Bref nous ne sommes pas contents.
