Fantastic location and quiet at night. The property was extremely clean and beds were comfortable. Sabrina was great with communication and check in was simple. We really appreciated the amenities at this property and hope to return in the future!
Very nice place to stay! It is literally a block and a half from the Duomo in Florence. You can actually see the Duomo when you walk out the front door. Overall very comfortable and clean. It was easy to check in and out of. I would highly recommend this property!
Great place to stay - close to the Duomo and Accademia but not in a loud part of town. Clean, spacious unit, exactly as described. Would love to stay here again if we are ever back in Florence!
Good location to the metro. Alberto was super helpful in getting us checked in, comfortable and accommodating. The apartment was clean, well maintained and safe.
We were very happy with our stay. Sabrina is a great host. She was very clear on any checkin details. She was also available for any questions before the trip and throughout our stay. We highly recommend this property and hope to come back some day!
We enjoyed the apartment a lot, it has everything! The beds are very comfortable and apartment was quiet at night, you barely hear any noise. It is located on the top floor with only stairs to climb, we didn’t mind but this could be an issue for some people. Location was excellent within walking distance to everything! Will recommend!

Absolutely fabulous apartment!
The apartment is gorgeous, bright and sunny and very well kept. The location is the best! Just steps from the Duomo. I loved hearing the bells toll from my bedroom each morning. The bedrooms and bathroom are very spacious. We had everything we needed and the location made it a wonderful home base to walk and see everything in Florence. Highly recommend!! Thank you Sabrina for a wonderful stay! We would love to come back!

Very nice apartment. Didn’t use kitchen but it appeared well stocked. Plenty of linens and comfortable bed. Easy check in process and easy to find. Very accommodating hosts who were spot on with communication. Perfect location in Florence near Duomo. Steps were a small chore on first arrival due to bags but no issue after that. Highly recommend.
We looked forward to our stay in Florence, but the mosquitos ruined our visit. The Apt althought it had screens the mosquitos eat us alive. The locations was great closed to everything, the rooms and beds very comfortable, it had a washing machine and dryer, The parking lot was right next to it, but all we can remember is being biten by the mosquitos and Sabrina's lock of concern. So it was a very sad stay.

I sincerely want to thank Norma and her team for the good review as the apartment was rated well with what Norma told me at checkout.
However, I was unable to make Norma understand that the problems with mosquito bites the morning after check out could not be due to my apartment which has mosquito nets and electric anti mosquito stoves, it is much more likely that Norma and her group have been bitten by mosquitoes outside, also because mosquito bites immediately itch. However, I understand that not everyone is familiar with the mosquito problem.

Amazing Florence Apartment
This apartment was the best and our favorite of all the places we stayed during our Italy and Greece trip. The unit made us felt like our home away from home. The home looks to be recently remodeled and new. The location was perfect and within walking distance to everything, including churches, mini markets, shopping, restaurants, train station, etc. The communication with the property manager Sabrina was superb. Questions were always answered in a timely manner, which made us comfortable especially in a foreign country. If you are looking for a place to stay in Florence, look no further. Book now! I highly recommend it. Thank you, Sabrina for a wonderful stay!

The apartment is bigger than expected with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Air con was a blessing! Beds were very comfortable and the apartment was peaceful. Lots of space for a family of 4 but would suit a bigger family too. The location is perfect, literally a short walk away from everything there is to see in Florence. Sabrina was so attentive leading up to and throughout our stay. She answered my many questions quickly and was very helpful, a fabulous host! I would highly recommend this apartment to everyone. Added bonus, you can see the Duomo out of the window, fabulous view to wake up to.
Tips for future visitors with children... Restaurants are quite expensive around the Duomo but we found Ristorante Osteria dell' agnolo on Borgo San Lorenzo (literally one street away) was very tasty and reasonably priced, good with kids too. We loved visiting the Da Vinci museum which was very hands on and kept the kids entertained. Well worth a visit.

Ciao Lisa,
mi rende molto felice sapere che avete passato dei bei giorni nel mio appartamento.
Tanti auguri per la vostra vita.
The apartment is conveniently located within a short walking distance from all main Florence attractions. It is clean, comfortable and has all amenities the traveler needs, including even the espresso maker. The host is responsive and communicative. I personally enjoyed climbing up 62 steps three or four times a day, which helped me loose weight and stay in shape in my 70s. I strongly recommend this apartment to all Florence visitors.
This was by far one of the nicest apartments we stayed in our trip through Europe. The location is a amazing, central to just about everything. You need to be prepared for the walk up to the top floor but honestly is was worth it for such a great place and location.
Enjoyed the Stay- location was great! Close to the Duomo, the Baptistry, the David, and good restaurants. The apartment was nice and convenient. The Host was very responsive.
Check in was very easy. Communication with host was great. Apartment was clean & beds very comfortable. Location is perfect. Was happy to have electric dryer for laundry. If you have any mobility issues it’s important to note this is the top floor with no elevator.
Perfect home base for exploring the city, with everything in reach. Beautiful view of the Duomo and the sound of the charming bells! A cozy, and cool respite from the sun and crowds when needed. Sabrina made check-in and our stay extremely convenient and comfortable.

Great Experience
Sabrina was responsive to all questions throughout the process. The location is perfect and seeing the Duomo and hearing the bells chime adds to the charm. You can walk everywhere. The apartment was clean and larger than expected and had everything that was needed. Bucca Niccolini down the street (right by the Duomo) had nice meals and the Gran Caffe San Marco (near Academia) the opposite direction has a wonderful selection of pastries.I recommend you stay at this convenient, terrific apartment!

Great Location, Functional, Has Some Quirks
First of all, the location was great (PERFECT) and felt very safe. I wandered out in the evenings, and had no hesitation being alone. Sabrina was very good at communication.
The floors were a little dirty, but that's the price of being in the city. Everything else was clean. The internet worked great, as well as the A/C. There are a lot of steps, 68 of them, but they are a good way to work off the yummy gelato you should eat every day!
A couple of things to keep in mind:
When it says "coffee maker", it only means a 1-cup Italian percolator-style. There were filters for a regular coffee maker, but apparently it broke at some point and was not replaced. There was no coffee provided, so make sure you pick some up before you go to bed that first night.
There are 17 plates, but no bowls! Not sure how that happened, but be aware of it.
The place could also use some basic amenities for travelers, like salt, olive oil, etc. We bought some and left it there.
The 2-bed bedroom is LOUD. There is constant noise from the street, and not just people and the normal traffic noise, but very loud traffic. Just be aware, you will only have quiet in there from about 1:00 AM to about 5:30 AM. You cannot sleep with the window open without ear plugs. On the plus side, the window is very noise canceling, so it is nice and quiet when the window in there is closed. The other bedroom is just fine, just normal street noise.
The beds are very firm.
The washer is great, but it is a washer/dryer combo, which (no fault of the owner) aren't very good for drying. However, there is a nice sized clothes rack for drying, as well as outdoor lines that you can reach from the windows, so it all works out just fine.
Sorry for the long review, but I wanted to be thorough. All in all, I'd definitely recommend this place, and hope you have a wonderful stay in the amazing city of Florence!
