Clean property, very accommodating for our family with our 3 month old baby. Comfortable and plentiful amenities, and great location to explore Florence!
Perfect apartment! The location is super convenient, right across the street from the train station and walkable to everywhere we wanted to see in Firenze. The host was wonderful and flexible and the apartment was clean and spacious for our family. Thank you so much for hosting us and we hope to come again soon!
Perfect place to stay in Florence. The apartment was super clean bright and airy.
A fabulous apartment centrally located but also quiet. Communication with the owner was excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend a stay here if visiting the beautiful city of Florence.
We spent two nights in this wonderful apartment on our way to southern Italy and had a great time. Our hostess met us at the property and gave us the tour and explained everything in detail along with recommending places to eat. The apartment was very clean, beds very comfortable and the location was absolutely perfect. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to be back again in the future.
The apartment was as described, and very clean. Emanuela was the perfect host. She was quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had we would recommend this place and if we’re ever in Florence again we would stay here. It is very convenient to the train station which was a big plus for us.
This place is so close to tourists attractions. It is also close to a lot of shops and restaurants. The best part is, it is right across the Santa Maria Novella train station.
Cons: AC not strong enough.
This property was extremely convenient to us. We hadn’t realized when booking that it was exactly where we wanted to be. The apartment has plenty of space and several areas to sit and relax. Our host was very helpful and even came by to ensure that we knew how to use the keys and heater.😊
From beginning to end our stay was wonderful.
Emanuela was in contact with us from the date of making the reservation until date of departure and was available (IF needed) during our stay.
Apartment was located in a central location and very convenient to the train station.
Apartment was well equipped.
WONDERFUL STAY.

Thank you Robert!
Hope to see you again in Florence ☺️
Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay here. What a beautiful home and so central to everything. The train station, grocery store, and the major attractions are all within an easy walking distance. Emanuela is wonderful to communicate with. She readily gets back to you and is so friendly and willing to help in anyway. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Florence!
Emanuela was so helpful with the check in and let us stay late for check out due to our departure schedule. Check in process was smooth. Only drawback was air conditioning was hard for us to decipher which made it hard to be comfortable in this record heat. Also wish we had more laundry detergent available.
The apartment was a perfect place to stay during our visit to Florence. The apartment is beautiful, clean and quiet. Communication with Emanuela was easy. She gave very detailed instructions on how to access the apartment. The location was perfect. We traveled via train and it was so convenient. Walking to all of the sites, restaurants and shop was also very convenient. We would stay here again and we highly recommend this apartment.
What a gem. The location was perfect: across from train station, within 10 mins walk from major sightseeing spots, restaurants, bus station where tours departs. Condo was clean, kitchen fully equipped, small elevator for luggages, washing machine to pack less. Linen and towels were clean! Great property management, very easy check in/out process! Despite being across from the train station, the condo was super quiet! Thanks for an amazing experience.
This is a well appointed three bedroom with excellent internet ,centrally located for access to all things Firenze. The host, in particular, went above and beyond to help me with any issues and accommodate my rotating friends and family with linens and cleaning. A very nice place to spend three weeks - thanks to Emanuella in particular!
Un appartement plein de charme à proximité de toutes les merveilles de Florence
Tout d’abord, merci à Emanuela pour son très bon accueil. L’appartement est spacieux, calme et bien équipé. Il est agréablement décoré. Sa situation juste en face de la gare est très pratique si, comme nous, vous voyagez en train. Tous les services sont à proximité dont le marché central de Florence qui mérite le détour pour tous les gourmands. Le centre ville et les principaux lieux de visite sont à une dizaine de minutes à pied. Bref, un endroit idéal pour passer quelques jours à Florence.
The apartment was clean and the location across from the train station was perfect for travel to and from Florence to other cities. And for walking around Florence to become part of the city while enjoying the beauty and energy surrounding us.
We had difficulty finding the location but were kindly met by Rosy who quickly showed us the way. The apartment is located in the middle of the block between Burger King and McDonalds - just look for the large wooden doors.
The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms accommodating. Make sure the nozzle in the shower is in the correct position before you turn it on! It was nice to have a washer but there was no dryer as mentioned in the description. Plenty of storage space in the spacious bedrooms.
The kitchen was minimally supplied for preparing meals but useful for what we prepared. It would be nice to have a toaster and regular coffee maker versus the nespresso machine. Especially when you have four coffee lovers!
Thank you for always responding promptly to any questions. If you are looking for a centrally located place to stay this is the one!
Enjoy Florence as it has much to offer with beauty, charm and good food and wine!
This property was perfect for our family of 3. Easy access to the train station and walking distance to many wonderful sights. The host gave us great recommendations and was super accommodating. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
Exactly as described. The Apartment worked out perfectly for a family of 4 to give each teen their own space. Communication with Emanuela was easy (WhatsApp is very helpul in Italy) and she was very kind and helpful. Check in was easy (Rosy was very nice too and spoke great English - much better than our Italian). The unit was very clean and secure and my teen son loved the 24-hour McDonalds downstairs. Having a lift was very helpful with our luggage, as was the tiny walk from the train station. The city centre is within walking distance and there are buses (you can pay on board!) to get you everywhere. It was very hot while we were there and the air conditioning was very helpful and worked great. You can only run 3 of the 4 at a time, so we used them in the bedrooms and closed off the door to the kitchen and living room/entry to keep the cool air in, so the other areas did get warm. However, this wouldn't likely be any issue if not for the extreme heat we experienced. There were metal shades on the windows we closed during the day which also worked to keep it very cool inside. Unlike every other rental we had in Italy (and many other places) the beds in this unit were really comfortable! The washer/dryer was a little hard to find at first (in a hall closet) but worked great (you do have to run it while the a/c is not running - we just ran it while we were out). In short, we hope to stay here again on a return trip to Florence!
