We were there 2 weeks and loved the place. Great location to everything. The view is great!There is an elevator! This is great since it’s on the 3rd floor.Excellent security.
Property is secure and comfortable. It is easily accessible to all Florence sites and museums. In the midst of activity but quiet inside with a great view of the city from terrace. We were able to walk everywhere. Would stay again if we return to Florence.
I had the best time with my visit to Florence. The property had all the charm of home during the middle of the Renaissance. Location is amazing. I was within walking distance of everything I wanted to see in Florence. It felt like my home away from home. I didn't realize how much I would enjoy having an elevator with us being on the third floor. This made it easy for us to depart each day and move our luggage during our arrival and departure. I highly recommend staying here.
My mom and I spent eight wonderful nights in this lovely apartment. Let me start by saying that Gaia was an excellent host. She was kind, warm and welcoming. She was also very quick to respond to all of our questions that came up during our stay. The apartment itself is very charming and is equipped with everything you need. It was clean, well-maintained and felt like a home (thanks to Gaia’s personal touches). The building is very secure and we always felt safe. You can’t beat the location. It is within walking distance of many major attractions and is close to the train station, tram stop and many bus stops.
I only have three items to mention in case they're deciding factors when selecting a place to stay. One is that the bed on the top floor is quite small (smaller than a standard Italian twin) and the mattress is a little hard, especially if you’re in the “above average” size category. Second, while the apartment is surprisingly quite considering the busy area, the gates and doors to the other apartments are quite loud when they’re closed, so if you’re a light sleeper or a little jumpy, then this could possibly startle you in the middle of the night. Lastly, guests are responsible for disposing of garbage/recycling in the city bins which are located a very short distance from the apartment.
Having said that, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Gaia!
Gaia was welcoming and delightful. The location was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. My only comment is that although the second bedroom houses only a small bed the mattress was extremely hard. It more than suited my needs but the mattress needs an upgrade.
Our trip to Florence was perfect, and instrumental to this assessment of our dream trip was Gaia’s apartment and terrace. It was a beautiful, comforting home away from home with absolutely everything one would need to live in style. Gaia is there for you!
We couldn’t imagine in every way a better choice! We loved it here and dream of when we can return.
Thank you Gaia!!
Gaia was very accommodating and the apartment was exactly as listed. The location cannot be beat and the elevator is a rare find in the heart of the city.
My friend and I loved staying in Gaia’s apartment, it is so close to everything and communication with her was easy and prompt. The apartment is well equipped and has everything you need, the only downside was as ladies in their 60’s and 70’s the beds are a bit too firm particularly the one upstairs , other than that I would highly recommend Gaia’s apartment
Gaia’s apartment lived up to all my expectation. It had everything you could possibly need for a fantastic stay. It was so quiet inside the apartment - amazing when you are in a very busy part of the city. I really appreciated the elevator after I’d been walking all day! For anyone security minded there will be no safety concerns at all - there is very secure access into the building and the apartment. A big thank you to Johnny for showing me around the apartment and explaining how everything worked. He was so helpful. I would definitely stay here again on another visit to the city.
Couldn't beat the location of the place, central to everything. Gaia met us when we arrived, went over things in the unit. Everything was clean and in working order.
Really enjoyed our stay!
The property is in a great location with fantastic views over the rooftops of Florence and for viewing some of the sunset. Very close to the basilica, duomo, supermercato and leather market. Within walking distance of the ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi.
The apartment is clean and well kept with a washing machine and everything one
Needs in a kitchen. A lovely Florentine city apartment. Makes one feel that one is part of the city.
The apartment had everything one needed for a nice stay. The elevator was about 10 steps up but cut a lot of distance from walking up. The location was great and we loved the terrace. We enjoyed some meals there since the kitchen had everything needed to cook dinner. Gaia was great.
We enjoyed our stay in this Florence apartment. Gaia actually found us on the piazza as we were looking for the address. There is an elevator to the apt which was really appreciated. The apt is charming and as pictured. The neighborhood is lively with the market and restaurants nearby. Most museums are in comfortable walking distance. It is very quiet inside the apt even with the liveliness outside. Fun to step out the door and be right at the market. We had a wonderful experience of sitting on the steps of the church listening to a street musician while people danced and sang. Right across from our door!
The apartment was in the perfect location. I loved the terrace with its view of the Duomo and the Basilica di San Lorenzo. The apartment was very quiet at night even though it was in a busy area. Highly recommend.
This apartment was exactly what we needed! It is so charming … and our host’s parents live next door! The building is very secure with a security gate on the ground floor and another one outside the apartment. The rooftop terrace is small, but lovely. We didn’t need to bring so as many clothes as we did, since the washing machine made everything so easy. We have been to Florence several times, but this was our first experience in this neighborhood. It is wonderful ! Just a 10 minute walk to the Duomo or train station, and maybe 12 minutes to the Uffizi. There are many great restaurants just steps away. AND, a leather market is just outside of the apartment door. The best part is the leather store on the ground floor, where they were very friendly and helpful with directions. The only “challenge” is that the Wi-Fi only works in the living room; but who cares? You are on vacation! We will definitely try to stay here on our next trip.
The location was perfect. The tiny rooftop terrace would be lovely in slightly better weather, although our weather was good for February. It needs new furniture.
The bed is very comfortable and the sheets lovely and beautifully laundered. Great closet in the bedroom. Plenty of windows. Carpet in the bedroom needs cleaning or replacing. Washer good. Easy to use. Bathroom ok. Living room has a small couch for seating and has seen better days. No other comfortable chair in the room. Large table with 4 satisfactory kitchen chairs. Way too many of the owner’s possessions remain on the premises. We had a great 10 days.
This is a great place for a couple to stay. We had every we needed. It was comfortable, clean and ideally situated close to the Duomo and other tourist locations.
Amazing location and unit! Unfortunately the door key broke and we had to get someone come repair it. We had to contact the owners and the owners parents who were on site. They were upset about the inconvenience and wanted to charge us for the broken key. We were inconvenienced as well as we could not get into the unit for a few hours.
The location is perfect to all the tourist sites. We would consider this apartment if we happen to be back here again. It’s my fourth visit here in this beautiful city and it always feel my first every time.
What a wonderful quirky apartment! Absolutely adored the little balcony where the views were amazing...a great place to imbibe a few Italian wines after a wonderful day of sightseeing. This place is so close to EVERYTHING!
Thanks Gaia!
An adorable home. The kitchen is the cutest! Perfect central location for visiting Florence. Gaia is very personable and helpful. Recommended. Also bought a leather belt from her husband's leather store. We loved our stay. Thank you! Ciao! :) A+
