Irene is a helpful and welcoming host. The apartment is comfortable and stylish and the view of the Duomo is amazing. It couldn’t be in a more perfect location
Centrally located with a beautiful view of the Duomo. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Visited with our teenage son and it was perfect for the 3 of us!
Everything was spot on. We loved staying here. It’s easy to walk to all the attractions from the apartment. Our host, Irene, communicated with me clearly and was friendly and accommodating. We’d definitely stay here again when we come back to Firenze.
Great apartment amazing views perfect location to access all what Florence has to offer.fantastic host.

Great location and high standards
Our stay here would have been perfect....the location and high standard of presentation were second to none.....however the WiFi only worked forthe first day of our stay and we experienced a lot of stress when a taxi couldn't be arranged and we had to walk/run to the staion to avoid missing our connection

I'm happy that the apartment was perfect but I'm really sad because you gave me 4 Stars because of taxi.
It is not my fault if it didn't arrive in time. We did the possible, my husband bring your luggege walking to train station to help you. Wfi was ok, infact you didn't tell me anything during your stay.
We do everytime the impossible for our guests!
This was a wonderful apartment. We loved the proximity to the Duomo and the historical part of town. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. The only thing to note is that if you have difficulty walking up steps, this may not be for you. But if you are able, this place is one in a million.
Location, location,location!!! This property was within very easy walking distance of all of the manor sites, multiple good reestaurants and the train station. The apartment itself was adequate with a well equipped kitchen. One bedroom was very comfortable but in the other was a very low and less comfortable bed. There was a clothes washer that was very convenient but no dryer. We used a drying rack that was provided. The biggest issue was that the apartment was up 84 steps with no elevator. The host was friendly and responsive.

I'm sad to read your 4-star review. You penalized me because the apartment is on the fourth floor with no elevator and doesn't have a dryer...but THAT WAS ALL WRITTEN IN THE LISTING DESCRIPTION...so I wonder why you booked with me if that wasn't what you wanted??? Thanks anyway for your stay.
The view matches the comfort of the apartment. Having two comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms makes this a perfect place for 2 couples or a family of four. The location is fantastic with good restaurants literally steps from the door. The steps to the apartment help burn off the pasta! Irene is a super host and easy to communicate with. We hope to return again soon.
The apartment was very clean and well appointed. The host provided a few essentials for us as we arrived a bit late. Irene was very responsive and helpful. The location of the apartment was amazing. There are many stairs and getting our luggage to and from was a bit difficult but worth it for the experience. Going in and out of the apartment was pretty effortless once we didn’t have luggage to contend with.
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying in this marvelous apartment for 13 days. The apartment had everything we need it was like a home away from home. The location was perfect and waking up looking at the Duomo with the sound of the bells was like heaven.
Words cannot describe how amazing human beings the owners Irene and Salvatore are. We are very lucky to have found this apartment. Thank you so much Irene and Salvatore.

Fantastico!
This apartment was more than I could of asked for. It has the charm of old world Florence with beautifully updated bathrooms and kitchen, and sunny spacious bedrooms. And the view of the Duomo is spectacular.The apartment was spotless and the kitchen was well stocked with the basics. The central location was perfect for reaching all of Florence. Salvatore was very gracious, helpful and informative. I hated to leave.

Thanks to have appreciate the central location. You have been fantastic too, we wish to see you again!
Thanks
We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment which was really close to the Duomo and surrounding restaurants Everything was a short walk from this apartment including the train station and the Ponte Vecchio. Irene and her husband Salvatore were amazing and responded timely with the many questions that we had. I would highly recommend this apartment as it was in a perfect location for our visit to Florence. Thank you Irene for always being their for us. Ciao for now!

Everything was spot on
Irene has a lovely house. It is clean and well equipped. The view out the window was exactly as advertised! She provided a few things for breakfast, which I really truly appreciate. The air conditioning works wonderfully. Lastly, the double or triple planed windows really keep out the noise of the enthusiastic street life. Thank you Irene for allowing us to stay. Natosha
Irene’s husband met us at the apartment when we arrived to show us around and give us a quick rundown on places to go and things to do. His recommendations were excellent, as we tried several. And the apartment was clean and very quiet when the windows were closed at night. Comfy beds too. Close to everything! By day 2, we were used to all the steps. Well worth the climb! We loved Florence and hope to visit again one day. Would definitely stay here again too. Thank you so much Irene and Salvatore!

GREAT LOCATION! CHARMING APARTMENT!
This apartment was perfect for our stay in Florence! It was lovely, clean and has a great location. The beds were comfortable. So nice to have 2 bathrooms. Irene met us with her charming smile! Taught us to make coffee using an Italian coffee pot...love the coffee! She also arranged our taxi the morning we left and met us to say goodbye. Irene is the icing on the cake! We all agree this apartment deserves a 5 star review!
Grazie Mille Irene!

Wonderful location and comfortable accommodations
Perfect location for anything you wanted to do. Great selection of restaurants in the immediate area. Irene’s place was elegant, very clean and well maintained! She even provided us coffee, yogurt, juice and cookies for the duration of our stay. The only downside is the 4 flights of stairs you need to climb to get to the apartment. But considering all the wonderful food we ate it was good to burn off some calories. Irene even scheduled a taxi to the train station for us on the morning of our departure. I would highly recommend staying here unless you are afraid of the stairs. You won’t be disappointed.

Amazing Florence Stay!
This apartment was an absolute FIND! Location is everything and the apartment is a stones throw away from the Duomo. Laying in bed at night and staring at the magnificent dome out the window was like a dream. The view is simply magnificent. Additionally, the apartment was very clean and there was a nice assortment of breakfast food waiting for us. It's the little things this apartment had like fresh white towels and good wifi that set air bnbs apart for me. And yes, it is a climb up to the fourth floor, but you can't have it any other way in a historic building in an old city. Plus, you've got to work off those cannolis! Salvatore and Irene are both so friendly and willing to give advice and help out with dinner reservations, calling a cab, etc. We couldn't have stayed in a better place!

Thanks you very much, you have described my home like I fell. I wish that everybody will appreciated my love for this work.
This apartment is dead smack in the heart of Florence. Beautiful views of the The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore dome (Duomo). Walking distance to all the major attractions and train station.
The owners, Salvatorre and Irene were very responsive to our messages. Salvatore met us at the property when we arrived even though we got there past 10 pm.
The owners left us some yogurt and milk inside the ref. The property was properly stocked with kitchen wares, utensils, and cleaning supplies.
The rooms were clean and spacious.
Just like everyone mentioned, you’ll get used to the flight of stairs.

Beautiful apartment in a perfect location
This apartment was even better than the pictures! It is beautiful, newly renovated, very comfortable, and has stunning views of the Duomo! Three of us stayed in the apartment and could not have been more comfortable. Each room had separate temperature controls and comfortable beds. Having two full bathrooms was a real treat. There are stairs to climb to get to the apartment, but the views are worth it! It felt as though you could reach out the window and touch the Duomo!
The owners were so easy to work with and were very accommodating with our arrival and departure. They contacted us via email and were quick to reply whenever there was a question. They do some simple things that really make for a perfect stay: stock the fridge with yogurt, juice, coffee, tea, milk, jam, butter; provide maps of Florence; provide a book of recommended restaurants, sites, and shops in the area; they also provide small soaps, laundry soap, toilet paper, and sponge. These little touches really set them apart from some owners. It allowed us to really enjoy our days in Florence! I would definitely stay in this apartment on a future visit!

Thanks, you have been really a perfect guests, I wish to see you again!
This apartment home was fantastic!!! A perfect walking distance to all the sights we wanted to see in Florence. The view is spectacular! Loved waking to the sounds of the Duomo’s bells every morning (they don’t ring until 7am, quiet all night). The apartment is spacious and clean. Beds are comfortable and having the kitchen saved lots of time and money, The only drawback is the five flights of stairs but that is a small price to pay for the view. I would highly recommend this apartment. Thank you Irene and Salvatore for sharing this beautiful home with us.
Amazing view from the windows of the Florence Cathedral. The apartment is very open and spacious, nice bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with showers- this was great since there were 4 of us. Our hostess was amazing- helped us reserve a taxi for an early departure. We will definitely come back and stay!!
Irene was amazing. She was so communicative the whole time. My plane to Italy had mechanical issues and I ended up missing my connection and being very delayed. Irene and her husband met my older mom at the VRBO and helped her get her bags upstairs, her phone connected to the wifi, and showed her restaurants and places nearby on a map. The location is near everything. You have a great view and short walks to all the main attractions (~10 minutes). The apartment was very clean and exactly like the photos. As mentioned it is up 4 flights of stairs, so I would avoid bring heavy roller bags. I would absolutely recommend Irene's place to everyone.
