Great location for walking, amazing restaurants and a non touristy vibe. Bedrooms are small but very comfortable. Highly recommend especially for families traveling.

Loved everything about this stay. Multiple bathrooms very convenient. Accommodations were clean with lots of bed options. Hosts were great and let us drop our bags early. Worth the multiple flights of stairs. Very clean Conveniently located close to train station.

Thank you for your kind review! We're so glad to hear you appreciated the cleanliness, the convenient location near the train and main sights, and that the apartment had everything you needed. It’s also great to know our communication made your stay easier. We’d be very happy to host you again in the future!
The apartment was nice and it fit our family of 5 well. I was a little frustrated because t didn't provide the attachments needed to use the hairdryers that were provided and I reached out on WhatsApp but never heard a response. We were there for a wedding so the hair dryers were pretty important. It was also an incredibly loud street and there was street noise all night long.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad the apartment worked well for your family size and stay overall.
We’re very sorry about the missing hairdryer attachments and especially the lack of response on WhatsApp—this is not the level of service we aim to provide, particularly for something important during a wedding stay. We will review our communication process to ensure quicker support in the future.
We also appreciate your note regarding street noise. Being in a central area, some level of city sound can occur, especially at night, but we understand it may still be disruptive.
Thank you again for your stay and your comments.
The place was clean. This a place that sleeps 8 people but they only had one key! I read that the hair dryers didn't work in a previous review and when I asked about that they replied that they have hair dryers. They had ones that don't fit in the outlets that they use. They did bring two more hair dryers that did work, the next day. My daughter got unexpectedly sick at about 4:00am and I wanted to check out later to extend our stay by about two hours. The owners would not allow that. They said someone else needed to check in that day. That was disappointing. I thought the location was great and we had plenty of space.
We stayed at this VRBO in Florence for three nights and unfortunately had a mixed experience overall. The location itself was convenient, but there were two major issues that were never disclosed in the listing.First, the apartment was extremely noisy every single night. Between street noise and late-night activity, it was very difficult to sleep. Had we known how loud the area was, we likely would have chosen a different place to stay.Second, the listing described the apartment as being on the “2nd floor,” which was very misleading by U.S. standards. In reality, it required climbing around 60 very steep stairs with no elevator/lift available. Getting luggage up and down was exhausting and unexpectedly difficult, especially after long travel days. This absolutely should be disclosed clearly in the listing so guests can plan accordingly.The apartment itself was acceptable, but the lack of transparency about the noise and stairs significantly impacted our stay. Overall, I would rate this property a 3/5 and recommend future guests ask detailed questions before booking.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your stay was impacted by noise and the access to the apartment.
Regarding the stairs, we understand how this can feel unexpected. In Italy, floor numbering can differ from U.S. standards, and the listing refers to the European “second floor.” That said, we appreciate your point and will review how this is communicated to ensure it is as clear as possible for international guests, especially regarding the number of steps and absence of an elevator.
We’re also sorry the noise level affected your rest. Being in a very central area does come with a more lively atmosphere, particularly in the evenings, but we understand this may not suit everyone and we appreciate your feedback.
Thank you again for your stay and for helping us improve the clarity and guest experience.
Traveling with my father and pre-teen sons, this flat was perfect, with space for everyone. Beautiful finishes and great location, we’d stay again in a heartbeat.
The location of this property was fantastic! So close to the train station, which was great. Very close proximity to so many things and great restaurants. There are lots of stairs so people with heavy bags might find it difficult.

Unfortunately we discovered bedbugs in the living room couch. Our adult son used the couch as a pull out bed and discovered a well fed bedbug in the morning. We called the property owners and VRBO when we realized what it was (we had never seen them before). The property management sent someone quickly to verify (yes, they were bedbugs) but could do nothing for us except offer a refund for any nights we did NOT stay there. I was on the phone with VRBO for over an hour trying to find another place for 6 people on short notice and they could not help me either for a similar rate. It was very stressful and we spent hours dealing with this. Once we left, we had to wash everything thoroughly which is a challenge when travelling. Other issues: hair dryers did not work. Apartment was on the 4th floor with no elevator which I did not see in the listing. Front bedroom was very noisy from the narrow street. Had we not had bedbugs in the couch, it would have been okay, but we received very little help in an unacceptable situation.
Please do not rent from Mmega. They canceled our booking the day before we arrived and told us we could cancel or take another place they managed that was about half the price and two bedrooms instead of three. I texted and gave them a list of other available places that Mmega managed that were comparable but still less expensive and asked if they could give us a partial refund and one of the three that were available. It was after 7:00 PM so I got a message saying the office was closed. On the day we traveled to Florence they responded that they would only substitute the cheaper non-comparable place with no discount or partial refund or we could cancel. Then they removed all of the three places we wanted from VRBO. We booked another place (one of the three we requested that they removed from VRBO) through a competitor vacation rental spot. not the way to run a business.
Nice and modern place. Close to everything. Plenty restaurants within walking distance. Florence is a beautiful city with so much to do and this place was perfect.

Thank you for your positive review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the apartment. We will be happy to host you again!
5 Minutes to the train station and 10-15 minutes in any direction to the top sites in Florence. It was very clean, modern and comfortable for our family of 4 (two teen kids). Would definitely recommend and return next time we're in Florence.
My family stayed here for one night as we journeyed across Italy. The loft area was a big hit with the kids. The location made walking to and from the train station a breeze, and we were able to walk to all of the other sites we wanted to see as well. I would stay here again.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your family enjoyed the loft area and found the location so convenient for exploring Florence. It sounds like you had a wonderful time! We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime during your travels across Italy.
It was the perfect place for our family. Wish we had more time in Florence. Will definitely come back and stay again. Always quick response with any questions, even just regarding the area. Thank you so much.
Due to unforseen circumstances we had to be moved to a separate property which was larger, lovely and nearer the center of Florence. We lacked for nothing except perhaps a roll of paper towels and some hot pads for use in the kitchen.

The location was great. The number of stairs was not clear to me when booking. It was unpleasant with luggage. The apartment did not have a hair dryer which was a problem for my teen daughters. The plug converters provided were not the correct ones. The heat was uneven in the apartment and not enough blankets. It was cold and uncomfortable at night. The kitchen light bulbs were out. Overall not a great stay. We appreciated the convenient location but that was about it.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations. We do note in the listing that the apartment is on the third floor, and we appreciate you highlighting the challenges with stairs and luggage. We also take your comments about the hair dryer, plug converters, heating, blankets, and kitchen lighting seriously and will address these issues to improve the experience for future guests.
We’re glad you found the location convenient and appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention. Your feedback helps us make meaningful improvements.
The property was located in the heart of Florence, about a 5-minute walk from the train station. It was gorgeous and had everything you could need within a short few-minute walk. The grocery store between the rental property and the train station had everything we could need. Historical landmarks, museums, and amazing restaurants were all an easy walk away. This property fit our party of 8 perfectly and had enough room to relax after a long day of adventuring. Thank you for accommodating our stay while we explored Florence!
