Fantastic location right on the Piazza della Signoria! Lots of character! Amazing, authentic property! Loved the hot showers , comfortable beds & cleanliness. It was so convenient to have a washer, dryer & kitchen while traveling.
Beautiful apartment right in the heart of Florence. It was really nice to have a kitchen! Many restaurants and shops very close by. Make sure to explore every street. Digital check-in is challenging but we figured it out.
Loved our stay here, right in the middle of Florence, across from palazzo Vecchio. Great apartment. Great location. Perfect for families. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic Stay! Apartment was accurately described , very clean, spacious, and perfectly located. We had everything needed for our 5 night stay. The hosts were responsive and accommodating. We highly recommend.

The place was darling. We had difficulty figuring out how to get in and out of all the various stores. We had some trouble with the remote key. The location is great!

Loved our stay at the Time Machine. My questions prior to booking were answered quickly. Booking process was straightforward. Check in was a minor challenge but again, assistance was available immediately. The area is perfect and central to many attractions. This made our time in Florence very enjoyable.
We were in Florence in October and had perfect weather, so really were out and about the entire time. This property is historic and we found it special to stay in a place that is so authentic. The location is incredible and just footsteps from historic spots in the city center.
