Fantastico (easy and authentic)

The property has an authentic old world feel like I'm staying at my lovely Italian aunt's home that has all the amenities for traveling with family. The location is quiet and perfectly located for walking to Florence's sites and living like Florentines (local restaurants, markets, schools). The supermarket is just around the corner. The hosts are "above and beyond" people. Our stay surpassed our best expectations, and we plan to stay at Grande Pepi next time. Bravi!

Great location, service, and communication with Massimo! We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in Firenze. Massimo is excellent in providing the best accommodations. Although we arrived early, Massimo was very kind and allowed us to drop off our luggage so that we could go out and explore. The accommodation itself was very comfortable and included all the amenities that we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal…close to all the popular sights of Firenze. Check-in and check-out was very easy because Massimo provided clear and concise instructions. Communication began prior to our arrival which was extremely helpful. I would strongly recommend this accommodation or any other that Massimo manages. Thank you, Massimo!

Great location and super clean

A girl trip to Europe brought us to Florence for a few days. We mostly shopped and had amazing food. We walked everywhere- even to and from the train station! So enjoyed this home which is on a clean, well established street. Quiet building and lovely apartment. Great communication and we felt welcomed!

Comfy central location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grande Pepi. Massimo greeted us upon arrival. He was very gracious and helpful. We were 3 couples and each had our own bedroom with a comfy king bed and plenty of privacy. Bathrooms were great with a good supply of fresh linens. The unit has a well equipped kitchen and spacious dining table. There is a great grocery store just around the corner where you can get anything you might need to cook for yourself, which we did on 2 evenings. We especially loved the washer and dryer since we had been traveling for over a week when we arrived. The apartment is located on a quiet street and you can walk to everything, except maybe the train station, which we taxied to.There are also great restaurants nearby. One we all would recommend is La Giostra. There are 5 flights of stairs to get up to the apartment so that could be a concern to some. It was my favorite place we stayed during our 3 week trip thru Italy. It was like a home away from home.

Great Apartment

My wife and I, our two grown kids, and their significant others spent 3 nights in Florence in Massimo's Grande Pepi apartment. It was our first time in Italy. The apartment is in a great location, and is just as the pictures make it look. We used the kitchen really only for snack type things and making coffee. Florence is a wonderful city, and it is all entirely walkable from the apartment. The apartment is also tucked away down a very quiet street, so there was literally no street noise to contend with. I would rent this apartment again if we are ever able to return to Florence. While you are there I recommend you check out the Scuola del Cuoio for your leather purchases.

A great accommodation in a great location!!

We has wonderful 4 days in Florence. We were three couples all in our 60s. The apt was very nice..clean, comfortable, fully equipped and well located. Massive went out of his way to make sure we were well settled in and comfortable. The three bedrooms were good sized sigh very comfortable beds (we had 2 people over 6 ft and they were comfortable in these beds). 2 Bathrooms were very clean and functional. Kitchen, while small was actually well equipped --coffee pot, simple supplies (olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper etc). Air conditioning in every room was perfect for the Season. Location was great. We could be anywhere in 10-15 min on foot and only 2 min to Santa Croce where there were great places to eat ( trattorias and osterias). There was a fabulous grocery store, (Conad) within easy walking distance. One disclosure--it's a 5 flight climb to the apt. It was a good workout and really not a big deal for us but for some this could be a consideration. We will definitely stay at this apt again in the future.

Wonderful Apartment

We had the pleasure of spending time at the Grande Pepi Apartment. The location is fantastic. It is less than a 5 minute walk to Santa Croce and less than 10 minutes to the Duomo and Accademia. The apartment was spotless. The beds were very good. Thank goodness for the air conditioning since it was hot when were were visiting. We did use the washer and dryer which were really nice. Very nice kitchen with lots of utensils if you need them. The is a grocery store less than 5 minutes walk away. Wifi worked great The apartment is on a very quiet street. It is one the top floor so if you have problems with stairs this may not be right for you. Massimo was very receptive and quickly answered all of our questions. He helped with setting up a cab for us to the train station and there are guide books in the apartment if needed. We would absolutely stay again if we were in Florence

Great accomodations at bargain price

The location is very central - on a quiet street less than 10 minutes' walking time to the Duomo and just up the street from the Santa Croce church. It is about equidistant from the Santa Maria Novella (main) and Campo di Marte train stations, though with rolling luggage Campo di Marte is an easier walk as the sidewalks are smoother. Our group of 11 took both the Grande Pepi and Piccolo Pepi apartments. The apartments are entered from the staircase through the same door, but they have separate secure doors from the foyer joining them. Each apartment has one bedroom on the main floor and one or more additional bedrooms upstairs, along with bathrooms on each floor. The bedrooms were all large enough that the bed does not dominate the room, allowing enough room to unpack our luggage. The beds were very comfortable, including the foldout couch (memory foam mattress and pillows). The bathrooms were clean and spacious enough for our group, with the hot water coming quickly. The kitchens were well-equipped, though we did not use them to their full extent. Other facilities were excellent - the wi-fi was fast and had a strong signal throughout. The washers and dryers (separate machines in Grande Pepi, and one machine doing both functions in Piccolo Pepi) were easy to use, with the instructions (in English) along with detergent next to the machine. We all did at least one load of laundry during our stay. We had no need for the air conditioning, but if it works as well as everything else in the apartment, it would be very, very good. Most importantly, the owner, Massimo, was an excellent host. From the time of booking until our departure, he was very helpful in making our stay a pleasant one. He arranged to meet us (on our schedule, not his) at the apartment to let us in, showed us around the place, and stocked the place with numerous conveniences - up-to-date tour books; lists of groceries/restaurants, etc. in the area; and electrical adapter plugs (for plugging U.S. plugs into European outlets) among those. He even arranged taxi pickup service for us on our departure day. Others have written about the stairs up to the apartment. Yes, there are stairs, but each step is only about 10cm (4 inches) high, so it is not like ascending the Duomo's dome. The stairs are also wide, so there is plenty of room to rest luggage during the ascent or descent if you need a rest. These apartments were the best deals on our trip.

Great Location

Our family (6 person) trip to Florence was wonderful. The booking process was easy. We were greeted at the apartment by Massimo and he was very nice as he showed us the details of the apartment. The apartment was very clean and within a 5 min walk to the "Florence sightseeing" bus stop. He recommended a few places for dining and we had 2 of them. The meals were great! First and foremost, I would stay here again but just so you have the details, there are a few flights of stairs to climb up to get to the apart. It's not that big of a deal since you only have to take luggage up once and down once. Just be prepared. Also, I think the mattresses could have been a little better. I realize that if you are only staying a night or two they are ok but since we walked around the city for 2 days (approx 8 miles per day according to the fitbit) a great night sleep was necessary. I ended up folding additional bedding (left in the closets) for more padding under the sheets of my bed (downstairs big bed) on the second night. Thank you Massimo for being such a wonderful host! This rental property is a good price for what you get. Although we did not use it, there is a second apartment right next door (semi attached) so you could travel well with a big family. (I did not see into that apartment) but Massimo showed us the door and they are right next to each other with a main door that blocks the master staircase up to the apartments. If you were to keep that master door closed and the front doors to each apartment open, it would seem like on giant apartment with plenty of living space. Thank you again Massimo and Staff!

A Grand Time at the Grand Pepi

From the moment I booked with Massimo we could not have been happier. He walked me through the booking - was prompt and very friendly. The apartment was beautiful. We had 7 adults sleep there comfortably. It was located in the heart of Florence's historic district. We never had to take a taxi - everything was so close! We would most definitely go back. Thank you, Massimo, for a great stay.

spacious apartment with helpful staff

Our stay in "Grande Pepi" was very enjoyable. The apartment was exactly as the online description . The rooms were clean and spacious with many amenities. We were a family of 5 and had plenty of room. The owner, Massimo, replied to my many inquiries promptly and offered his and his staff's assistance with any questions I had. The only "negative" was the wifi wasn't reliable but it's my understanding that it's typical of Italy.

Perfect accomodation for a family

Our family of 5 stayed with Mario in January 2016, the apartment is charming, modern, clean, very well equipped, very convenient for family stay. Location is great, rather quiet, with grocery shop around the corner, all sights you wish to see in Florence are walking distanced. Mario is a very welcoming and open host, easy to deal with, flexible with timing with reasonable notice. He made our stay as comfortable and seamless as possible and we would love to stay with him again next time in Florence.

Beautiful accommodation, gracious host

We had the unfortunate experience of having our accommodation in Florence cancelled less than a week before our departure for Italy. We looked online again and connected with Massimo. Several emails and phone calls later we had a beautiful apartment booked, the Grande Pepi. It is indeed aptly named and we were thrilled to find it. Massimo is a wonderful and most accommodating host. The apartment is very clean, spacious, and centrally located. It is well equipped and even has a clothes dryer. We are all seniors and the stairs were a non issue. In fact, because of the daily exercise, we felt justified in indulging in the delicious gelato! We loved Florence. It is a beautiful city and very pedestrian friendly. We clutched our maps and ventured forth taking in the leather and food markets and even enjoyed an hour at the Florence Fish Kiss. What an amazing way to get a pedicure! Check it out! We will definitely be back and will stay in Massimo's apartment again. Grazie Massimo!

Appartamento situato in posizione strategica per visitare Firenze.

Loads of character, perfect position.

Our family of two adults and 4 children stayed in Grande Pepi mid September. The apartment oozes character and is in a perfect position to explore Florence on foot. Everything is close by including a grocery store, bakery and other shopping. Easy walking distance to attractions. The sandwich press makes it easy to bring back paninis and toast them at your convenience. Free WIFI is great. There are air conditioners in just about every room, which makes the apartment very comfortable. Only complaint is that the main bed was too hard for us. Just be aware that if you go to an attraction further afield (we went to Museo Stibbert), it is very difficult to catch a taxi back, so be prepared for a long walk. It is very easy to find a taxi at the train station to the apartment.

Excellent apartment in great location

We stayed in Massimo's larger apartment, the booking process, pre arrival information and checking in process were all well organised and professional. Apartment is ideally located for seeing the highlights of Florence, for restaurents and shops. The apartment is comfortable but if fully occupied ie. 6 people, crockery might not be sufficient. Massimo was extremely helpful, for example booking taxis for us on the day of departure. I would fully recommend the apartment and Massimo and his colleagues.
