Beautiful and unique space. Location was perfect. Was advertised as having a washing machine & elevator when we booked. No washing machine or elevator (due to construction) but was worth the climb.Highly recommend staying here.

Dear Lisa,Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for highly recommending our place! We are so happy to hear that you found the space beautiful. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the elevator and the washing machine. We would like to reassure you and future guests that this situation is only temporary due to the ongoing construction work. Both amenities will be fully operational again as soon as the building works are completed. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back in the future to enjoy the apartment at its 100%. Warm regards, Wprelais team

The master bedroom was cool and dark, just the way we wanted it. Our family of 5 had plenty of bathrooms. There was a Nepresso maker and a standard coffee maker, which we enjoyed. We couldn’t find very many eating utensils- there were a few in the top rack of the dishwasher. My favorite feature of the house was the large open windows, with views of the bustling street and the Arno. The place is in a great location. As others mentioned, the master shower leaks on the floor and there isn’t a clothes washer. Overall, the place has a great ambiance and we considered it to be a good value for our family.

Traveled to Florence with family of four adults. I was excited about this property because of its historical charm but I was disappointed with the misleading description. First I had contacted the host to ensure there was a washing machine as this would be mid-way thru our trip to Italy and I wanted to wash clothes. I was assured there was a machine. The day that we were to check in, I was notified there was no working elevator and the property is on the 3rd floor so we'd have to carry luggage 3 flights. Bottom floor is always zero, so essentially 4 flights up. They also shared there would be construction during our stay (which fortunately didn't occur). Inside the property, there are more many more stairs with open railings which could be a terrible safety hazard for young children and those with mobility concerns. The bathrooms/showers are very small and we weren't able to use the overhead shower in the master as it poured water all over the bathroom floor. There are also no bidets as advertised. The wifi works only on the bottom floor of the property. After voicing several concerns about not being able to do laundry, the host allowed me to use the main laundry area for all the properties, which was also a hassle as I needed to go up and down several stairs with loads of laundry & coordinate time. The upside to the property is the location which is approx. 15-20 min. walk to all main sites. I also appreciate the old world charm of the furnishings.

Dear Kristen.Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the location and the historical charm of the property. However, we would like to clarify a few points regarding the logistics. As we communicated well in advance of your arrival, the building is currently undergoing temporary maintenance work that has put the elevator out of service. Unfortunately, this ongoing work is the exact reason we haven't been able to bring the new washing machine up to the apartment yet. This is why we proactively offered you full access to our main laundry facility as a temporary solution. These building works and the elevator block are strictly temporary. Once completed, both the elevator and the new in-apartment washing machine will be fully operational. We have also already resolved the shower issue you mentioned. Thank you again for your stay and for helping us improve. Bests Wprelais team

Loved our stay in Florence!

Location is an area with many stores and walking distance (5 mins) to many restaurants and attractions, we walked to everything. We had a group of seven persons and the three sleeping areas worked out well for us, just note that one of the beds is in an open loft area. Also, lots of steep steps in the apartment so keep that in mind with young kids and elderly. The check in was fantastic as well as all the communications. We got in to Florence early and were able to leave all our bags with the host and came back later to check in - this was GREATLY APPRECIATED. They even moved our bags to the apartment for us, WOW!

Florence with family!

Our family really enjoyed this apartment! There are 3 levels, with the loft and bedrooms at the top which we didn’t fully realize when booking, but it made for a lot of extra space. The extra large living area downstairs, high ceilings and 3 bathrooms were great. With a lot of original character, the apartment still felt new and clean. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful apartment and very gracious host.

The apartment is beautiful, spacious and in a great location. It's walking distance to everything but not too close to the noisy, crowded areas by the Duomo. Our host was very helpful and accommodating and informative. I would 100 percent recommend this apartment. We had a wonderful experience and anytime we had questions we were able to stop in next door where the host worked and ask questions, which he graciously answered. Loved this place!!!
