Plenty of hot water and luxurious towels and extremely comfortable beds! Our hosts were very easy to reach and lovely to communicate with. We highly recommend this for a family stay.

This was a place to come back after a busy day of touring. It was great to have an apartment that made you feel like home. It is beautiful and the communication with Gaia and the crew where excellent and and very accommodating. The amenities are awesome and cafe right around the corner was awesome for breakfast.

A Lovely Apartment in an Excellent Location

We loved the authentically Florentine feel of this place. It was spacious with big windows, great height (that stunning ceiling); the loft bedrooms only enhanced the sense of space. Our late check-in was smooth and simple with digital entry and clear instructions sent prior to arrival. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay within walking distance of everything we’d hoped to see. Would certainly recommend to friends and family.

Location cannot be beat

An excellent location, first and foremost. A beautiful building as well; we loved falling asleep looking up at the ceiling frescos. Clean, quiet despite the busy street downstairs, and perfect for a family of 3 adults. Bonus points for 2 hairdryers! Just caution to those who are not able to handle stairs- it’s a long stairwell up and the stairs within the apartment are not for the faint of heart. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great stay

Great location. 10 minute or less stroll to everything you want to see in Florence. Nice place. Ceilings are amazing! Only thing not expected was the 2 bedrooms are open to the floor below like a loft. But we adapted, no big concern! Host was great. Quickly in touch whenever we had questions.

great spot

Great location in a fabulous city. we walked everywhere.... The unit was clean... a little dark....could use a little more lighting but that is probably a problem anywhere in a medieval city....pack lightly as you have to go up stairs...and it is like that in most vrbos in the area. easy to communicate with....overall...we enjoyed every minute.

Authentic!

It is in a great location in Florence. Loved the cozy feel of the flat. decor and remodel made it feel like we were at a friends home. Some noise from the streets until late hours but drinking wine helped tune it out. Would recommend it to friends for sure. So clean and owners were accessible for help if we needed them.

Perfect spot for a 5-6 people!

We loved everything about this place - great location, outstanding architecture and a very easy experience. It worked well for our family, including our three daughters: 23, 20 and 18. Word of advice - bring some additional shampoo and soap if you are staying for more than a day or so. Also, there is no clothes dryer in the unit, but they do have a large drying rack which worked well. Thanks again for a great experience!

Charming in a Perfect Location

Our stay was absolutely lovely I this apartment. It is spacious and has everything you need for a family. There is no lift but taking the stairs with luggage was not a problem. It is spacious and well kept. Stefano who manages the apartment was extremely helpful whenever we needed him. You will be very close to many delicious restaurants and cafes. There is a pharmacy right down the street for anything you may need. We will definitely be back. Thank you again for a beautiful stay.

Outstanding location,very safe and central area,great hosts!

This was our first VRBO experience - how lucky we were! Stefano waited patiently for us (in constant contact) when we arrived 2 hrs later than originally agreed. He was full of smiles and carried our bags for us.The apartment is just as described - it is absolutely beautiful and the location perfect... in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Florence. It isn't just clean its immaculate. All the major attractions within easy walking distance And Gaias restaurant recommendations were all excellent. I could go on and on - our trip was superb in every way and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Gaia I hope we can come back one day!

Lovely apartment

We have stayed in many VRBO's and this was a winner. Lovely old Florentine building and lovely decor. Incredibly spacious, especially just for two of us. Huge windows that open to the street (though the street was quite noisy during the day as some people have mentioned in other reviews). Our only quibble, and it is minor, is that the kitchen cabinets and bedroom dressers, because they are old, "stuck" quite a lot upon opening. They could use some upgrade. But, again, this was minor, and we really did love the apartment. Also, the location was outstanding, just a short walk to the major sites. Try Gelateria Carraia at the opposite end of the nearby Ponte Carraia, also I Parione, at the bottom of the building.

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing apartment!

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing apartment! Gaia and Stefano could not have been more gracious hosts. Gaia was incredibly responsive and provided us with helpful information before we arrived, and when we arrived Stefano helpfully showed us around the apartment and answered all of our questions. Because we were staying for a full week, we were looking for a centrally located apartment in Florence that was clean, had wifi, air conditioning, and a washing machine in the unit. This apartment had all of those things and was incredibly comfortable and spacious. It was only a 10 minute walk to all of the major sights (Duomo, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, etc), and a stone’s throw from the Arno river, where we spent many a night enjoying sunsets from the Ponte alla Carraia bridge and eating some of the best gelato you will find in Florence at the Gelateria La Carraia. We would highly recommend this apartment and look forward to staying there again in the future!
