Perfect Stay in Florence

Our family absolutely loved our stay here. The apartment was very spacious and very clean. The Host, Simone, was extremely professional and went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. There is not an elevator, but it’s only on the second floor so it was easy to get up and down with no issues. There is also a washing machine which is on the outside balcony in which you can hang clothes to dry with clothes pins. We used it twice while we were there for small loads and it worked out great. Kitchen is well stocked with plates, cutlery, glasses, mugs. Everything you could need. Beds were very comfortable. The area is great as it is walking distance to Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens which should not be missed. There is a really good gelato spot on the corner called Sbrino’s. We also enjoyed a cafe on the next street over that had indoor and outdoor seating. There are plenty of places to eat that are within walking distance. We took the bus to avoid walking so much to further areas, and tickets can be bought for that right at the corner store. Very easy and they come frequently. The grocery store, Carrefor, is a few minutes by walking. We would definitely stay here again and hope to visit Florence again soon! Such a beautiful and unique place.

Location, Location, Location!!

We were 2 couples visiting Florentine friends plus a student studying in Florence for a semester and we could not have found a more perfect apartment and location! It is right outside the ancient Florence door, wall, and Boboli Gardens. It was easy to walk everywhere but away from the crowds and tranquil. Groceries were minutes away. Our friends knew so many sweet spots for eating and drinking near the apartment and also agreed it is one of the best locations to be in Florence!The apartment was perfect for 2 couples, and had lovely space for hosting. We did not really cook, but the kitchen had all the basics, including oil, salt, sugar, coffee, etc. The beds were SO comfortable, from mattress to linens and everything was spotless. Simone greeted us for check in with 2 bottles of wine, bottled water, and some cold drinks in the fridge. His English is far better than my Italian and we had no problems communicating! We highly recommend and hope to return!

Perfect Florence Getaway. Fantastic Host.

This was a trip of a life time. Simone made sure everything was perfect. He answered any questions we had. He had drinks in the fridge and 2 bottles of wine waiting too ! . The apartment is spotless and tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and beautiful furnishings. The location is great. We walked everywhere from the apartment. The neighborhood has many different options for food and shopping.Pharmacy, supermarket, restaurants, gelato, bars, restaurants, taxi, bus & more super close. Simone saved the day by driving us to the train station at 4:30 am when we had a mix up with taxi service. He really is a gem! We will definitely choose Simone’s home again when we return to Florence.

Beautiful Apartment in a quiet area

We had a wonderful stay here. The apartment is away from the main tourist areas and is much quieter. The apartment is very unique (for an American) Separate rooms for everything and the decor and artwork on the ceilings is amazing. Communication was limited with Simone due to language barrier but google translate worked well for us both :) He provided excellent information and was able to help us get a taxi to the airport when I was unable to get one booked. The beds were comfortable and the sofa/ chair in the living area was comfy for some lazy mornings. The apartment was clean and had most of what we needed. The kitchen could use a few more items that we are used to but it was minor - like a whisk and a spatula. Simone left us waters, juice and some wine. The cupboards had some spices and coffee and sugar. The apartment is about a 25 minute walk from the main attractions. We took a City Sightseeing tour bus that stops just a couple blocks from the apartment along with local bus service. There are some good restaurants very close but be aware they close around 2 and do not open until 7pm and are often very busy. The grocery store is a 10 minute walk away and easy to get to. There is a pharmacy a few blocks away as well. The unit does have a washer machine on the patio but it is very small for US standards. We had 10 days of laundry to do so we found a Wash & Dry about 10-15 min walk away. It was much more efficient to do laundry there. Would recommend!

We had an amazing time. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and has everything you need. Simone was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely responsive and helpful before and during our trip. He provided us with recommendation for a day tour in Tuscany, he arranged taxi's for our early morning pick up to the airport. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood with great restaurants and cafes close by. We were able to walk easily to Florence center. Highly recommend this property.

Delightful

This is a lovely property somewhat off the beaten path, but still within walking distance of everything you want to see. It was a pleasure to return to the quiet neighborhood and this very comfortable, spacious and well-stocked apartment after jam-packed days spent in seas of humanity. Simone is a very gracious host. He provided a list of recommended nearby restaurants (excellent) and helped us with our baggage (which was very much appreciated given the stairs!). Highly recommended.

Lovely apartment in a great area

Really spacious apartment, comfortable big beds and extra pillows and blankets in the closet. A large assortment of laundry soap and cleaning products were stocked. Extremely quiet at night, air conditioning was lifesaving in summer heat, and the fridge was stocked with a case of water bottles. Simone was wonderful, we had no water for a few hours our last night and he immediately called the city to find out why and offered to bring us bottled water at almost midnight! Only thing I'd note, one bathroom is very small, shower might be uncomfortable for a larger person.

Fabulous location in a quiet neighborhood

First, Simone was a great host! He met us at the apartment to show us around and to complete our booking paperwork. If you needed anything he was always available via WhatsApp. Not only was there wine to ease us into our vacation, but plenty of water to get us started since it was quite hot in July. The market is in walking distance, but bring your own sturdy bag if your purchasing staples for your stay. The restaurants Simone suggested we're just around the corner and wonderful! I do suggest booking in advance, we decided to wing it without reservations at Antica Porta since it was around the corner on our first night, the tables outside we're unavailable but she had a table right in the entry which was perfect and the food was great. The bus is a short walk and so easy to get to places if you have a heavy walking day planned. The only thing we could say, is that the sheets in the 2nd bedroom we're rough/stiff compared to the 1st bedroom linen. That being said, our stay here was very enjoyable and would come back again!

The property was as described, if not even nicer. Simone was amazing, giving us restaurant recommendations in the area. He even went out of his way helping us find somewhere to get our laundry done, as we wanted to use a dryer, since the weather was very wet and dreary during our stay. He replied to my messages instantly. He also had the best limoncello waiting for us, as well as other refreshments. Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Florence.

We loved our stay! This is our second time and know that if we head back to Florence again, and it's available, we will try to stay here. The host is wonderful and thoughtful - making sure we knew how everything worked and setting everything up to be comfortable and accessible. The location is perfect if you're visiting Florence! Boboli garden is across the road and everything is otherwise a close walk away or there is the bus. There is even a Taxi stand a minute walk away. It's truly perfect.

This property excellent. The host Mr. Simone goes above and beyond. The neighbor is great and you can find parking close by as you will see many people get very creative. We never had an issue parking in some of the “no parking” areas as long as you don’t block a garage or something important. Easy walk to Ponte Vecchio and other tourist spots. The Piazzale Michelangelo is right up the hill and has incredible views and some immaculate homes up there. Trattoria Da Ruggero is right around the corner and a don’t miss family restaurant. Make a reservation as it’s small. Porta Romana is a steak house and wood fired pizza joint also just around the corner. Fresh pastries and coffee as well a few steps away. I highly recommend it. The pics of the place speak for themselves.

Excellent Florence apartment

All the reviews are true. Simone is a gem. Wow, this apartment was fantastic , the layout is excellent as the 2 bedrooms are on opposite ends (we were 2 couples) and an extremely comfortable living room. Roomy bathroom, the kitchen is equipped as we were able to cook with gas stove and electric oven and had items as needed. The grocery store is a 5 minute walk. The local bus is perfect to get around if needed and everything can be walked to in the city within 30 minutes. We are very thankful for the beauty and quality of this apartment and it was quiet. Simone went above and beyond on several occasions for us. Would certainly stay again.

Wonderful host- wonderful stay!

Simone is an amazing host and a truly kind person. His place was clean and he had all the nice touches, and it is a large apartment. He was waiting to greet us when we arrived and showed us everything in the apartment, as well as told us about local restaurants, stores, etc. On the last day, he tried to call us a taxi and we couldn’t get one, so he took us to the bus, rode it with us to the train station and showed us the train since we don’t speak Italian and were a bit confused on how to get to the train. He wanted nothing in return. Truly a thoughtful and kind person who goes above and beyond. All the sites in Venice were about 15-30 minute walking distance and very easy to navigate and get to, while taking in the local culture. I highly recommend!
