My daughter and I stayed here for a long weekend. Gianni is very attentive and helpful and the location of the apartment was a 5 minute walk to Florence city centre. We love Florence and would definitely stay here again.
Nice neighborhood but unit is small and without elevator
Host was helpful and responsive. Apartment was clean and in a nice location. Our only negative was that the unit was pretty small. The bath room in particular was quite small. Overall we had a good stay but wish there was more room in the unit as the three of us felt cramped in the space. Lastly and importantly, there are 4 flights of stairs to get to the unit and no elevator. I don’t recommend for anyone with heavy luggage or any type of walking issues
This apartment was just as advertised. We had no issues communicating with the ownership during the booking and check in process, and detailed instructions were provided up front. It's a great location as it is close enough to walk to all of Florence's main attractions yet is quiet and not on the main tourist routes. I would highly recommend it.
My co-worker and I extended after a business trip to Naples. The weather was so incredibly hot in Italy we were thrilled to have wonderful air conditioning. There were units in each bedroom and the living area. Everything was furnished with the exception of a small frying pan to cook eggs but we used another pan and made due.
The washer worked well and there is a large drying rack provided. The apartment is very quiet and in a fantastic location.
Gianni was very responsive anytime we needed something and provided thorough information prior to arrival.
Note there are 3 small flights of stairs you will have to haul your luggage but it wasn't too bad because the stairway is wider.
We very much enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again.
