Amazing location

This is a wonderful property if you’re looking to stay not in the city center but within walking distance, there is amazing shops and grocery stores nearby. It’s only about a 10 to 15 minute they walk to the city center in the train stations only about five minutes.

Entspannter Aufenthalt

Sehr gepflegte, gemütliche Ferienwohnung. Ausgezeichnete Lage. Ausreichend Platz. Super herzlicher Gastgeber, sehr hilfsbereit. Bei Anreise nahm er sich viel Zeit um Fragen zu beantworten und Tipps/Infos zu geben. Bereits vor Anreise war die Kommunikation per E-Mail tipptopp. Die Anbindung zu öffent.Verkehrsmitteln ist prima! Hauptbahnhof ca. 20 Min. Gehzeit von der Unterkunft entfernt. Wir sind bei Anreise allerdings erstmal per Taxi zur Unterkunft gefahren(ca.15€). Zur Innenstadt gelangt man ebenfalls einfach zu Fuß innerhalb von 20-25 Min.! Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (kl.Supermärkte) und auch Restaurants sehr nahe liegend

Beautiful apartment in a great location

This property was even more spectacular than the pictures. Renovated with modern decor and was extremely clean and spacious. We especially appreciated the washer and dryer in the unit. The location was excellent and very safe on a quiet street within walking distance of everything you need or want to see. Nik was a great host - sent us a list of things to do and restaurants in the area ahead of time, which was helpful. He met us promptly at the property as we arrived and was very helpful and communicative throughout the stay. Highly recommend this apartment and we will definitely stay here again next time we get to Florence.

Gorgeous apartment

The pictures are true to the appearance of the apartment but once you are in there, it’s even better than expected. Ground floor, quiet area, beautiful furnishings. Everything like brand new. The bedroom is amazing because the ceiling is restored fresco and lying in bed looking up, is a real treat! The lighting in the apartment and every last detail is pretty much perfection. The host, Nic, was both gracious and helpful. It is not located in the very center of Florence, but close to the river and down a ways from the center. We walked a lot into the center but took a taxi back at night after a long day of walking. The area is safe and beautiful. I would definitely recommend this apartment.
