• Skyeler (8/5): Great location close to all sights with a very spacious loft. - Great location and very spacious. Daniel was very nice and accommodating.
• Őz (8/5): - Központi helyen van; minden gyalogosan elérhető. A ház mellett lévő italautomaták miatt nagyon zajos, még hajnalban is.
• Sabrina (8/5): -

• Theresa (10/5): - Excellent location and extremely close to great restaurants. Very cozy and spacious apartment. Daniel was amazing and very nice manager. We look forward to booking again with them. Would highly recommend. Thanks for making your stay so enjoyable.
• Serruitec (9/5): - I loved the location of the appartment. Also, it's really spacious and it has everything needed to enjoy the time in Florence. Double bathroom was really handy.
• Vito (8/5): - Posizione e spazi Mancanza di tv
• Domenico (10/5): - Tutto ok
• Deborah (7/5): All in all, it was the spaciousness and location which were key. And Daniel was wonderful. - The property was spacious and in a fantastic location for sightseeing, restaurants and bars. Everything good was in walking distance. Daniel was great was communication and very helpful both before our arrival and when we arrived. Good value for its proximity to so much. No lift - sometimes the stairs to get to the apartment felt a lot after returning from a lot of walking or eating. The common parts - the stairs - had a terrible sewage smell at all times. It was a bit in the apartment when we arrived but went quickly after opening some windows. The area around the bed upstairs, the upstairs bathroom and the downstairs bathroom were very narrow spaces. We were fine but if you are a bit wider, it could be very tricky. The upstairs bed was ok but it was the set up which was tricky and a bit dangerous - there is very little space between the inbuilt shelf and the bed on the lefthand side and no space for a bedside table on the righthand side for my water glass but when I brought up a chair, it meant you couldn't get to the bathroom. But on the righthand side you also have a series of levels which is awkward at night, particularly as there is no bedside light.
• Francoise (10/5): - Appartement idéalement situé. A quelques minutes de tous les monuments. Très calme .très vaste. Les prises électriques sont souvent inutilisables. La cafetière ne fonctionne pas.
• Eleonora (5/5): - La posizione è ottima, sei a due passi da piazza della Signoria La pulizia, c'erano due mosche morte nel pavimento, i gomitoli di polvere che correvano nel pavimento, struttura vecchia, bisognerebbe un po rimodernare gli impianti elettrici soprattutto...e magari dare una bella rinfrescata alle pareti, perché dove c'è il letto matrimoniale era nero!
• Atilla (7/5): - Tesis konum olarak çok iyi noktada. Ayrıca çok da büyük bir ev. Ev 4 katlı bir binanın 4. Katında. Asansör yok. Ve merdivenler çok dik. Bavullarla ve çocuk arabası ile gidiş geliş beni epey yordu. Evin 2 banyosu var ikisinde de su giderinde problem var. Giderler temizlenmeli. Klimalarla su ısıtıcı aynı anda çalıştığında evde bir anda elektrikler gitti. Evdeki şartelleri kontrol ettiğimde atmadığını gördüm. Tesisle iletişime geçip elektriklere bir çözüm bulmalarını istedim ancak sabaha kadar kimse mesajıma dönmedi. Neyse ki ben bina girişine inip apartmanın genel elektrik panosundan doğru şarteli bulup sorunu kendi başıma çözmüştüm.
• Nectarios (6/5): - Το κτιριο ειναι παλιο και υπαρχει πολλη φασαρια απο τους γυρω δρομους. Δεν μπορεις να κοιμηθεις ευκολα. Οσον αφορα το διαμερισμα ικανοποιητικο. Το δυνατο του σημειο ειναι η τοποθεσια του
• Giovanni (7/5): -
• Nipun (9/5): Superb - Really Comfortable Spacious .. Air Conditioning With all the windows everywhere it was felt quite fresh.. will love to comeback Just the stairs !!
• Linda (8/5): Very good - Large apartment and great location. Bathrooms need a bit of an upgrade
• Dragan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kaitlin (7/5): Meh - The location was perfect and the apartment was very spacious. It has a lot of potential but felt a bit drab compared to the pictures. It could do with a deep clean. There were scuffs on the walls and my socks went from white to black each day from walking on the floors. The lighting was poor which made it difficult to read a book at night. The sewage smell was terrible.
• Yildiz (7/5): Good -
• Noelia (8/5): Functional apartment in the very city center of Firenze - The location is great, only a few minutes to the Uffizi Museum and the Ponte Vecchio. The apartment is comfortable and has a lot of space. Besides, it's fully equipped (towels for every day, kitchen facilities, laundry, etc.). You have a small market and all kinds of restaurants, bars and stores nearby. Finally, Daniel (the owner) was kind and available every time we needed to reach him. We were received by Anthony who was charming and ready to help us with our baggage. To be honest, the things that we didn't like weren't the owner's fault at all. The apartment has no elevator, only old stairs to the third floor. As I said before, the location is great. However, since it's in the city center it's really noisy! You can hear the neighbors, the doors closing, people taking and screaming outside even at late hours, cars, etc. Nothing can be done, it's the price to pay for being in the heart of Firenze! Finally, you never see the sun. There are enough windows, but even at the third floor you have no sunlight due to the building just in front. Don't worry, you have the view of the streets and the sky.
• Oksana (10/5): Would definitely book again. - Very spacious apartment right in the heart of historical centre of Florence. The host was very accommodating and communication was excellent.
• Alexa (10/5): Amazing spacious apartment with a local vibe in a great location! - Host communication was efficient, responsive and easy to follow! This flat is super spacious with a loft-style bedroom, two bathrooms and several living areas to spread out. Kitchen was pretty sizable as well. The location was perfect, 5 minute walk to the Duomo and right in the midst of great restaurants and bars. You'll feel like you're living in Florence at this property! Do be warned that this is on the top floor of a three floor building with no elevator!
• Adrian (9/5): Superb -
• Eric (9/5): Great stay near center of city. - Great location. Lots of space. Very responsive host. Bed was comfortable. All the drains run slow. The bedroom loft has a low ceiling, which my head took notice of a couple of times.
• Olga (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy apartment just in 100 meters from Uffizi.
• Dana (6/5): Pleasant - Spacious and in good location 65 steps to the apartment !! No lift !! We are old and had luggage to pack up all those stairs . This info needs to be on the listing for elderly or disabled ppl . Also the sewer smell in the stair way was bad
• Jenna (10/5): We had a perfect stay. - It felt like our home away from home. Very spacious , it was clean and well equipped. It had the advantage of two bathrooms including a bathtub. It was right in the heart of florence historical centre. The bathtub was clogged and we informed the manager. He was on holidays abroad and there was no one to attend. Many stairs to climb with heavy suitcases. Might not be suitable for the physically not fit.
• James (8/5): Very good -
• Luis (10/5): Really nice experience and attention by host - Location The stairs
• Gulnar (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious apartment with two bathrooms. Great location
• Hong (8/5): Very good -
• Jody (7/5): I would recommend all in all. We couldn’t believe how spacious it was with a good separation of the bedroom from the liv - Loved the location and how spacious it was. Host met us on site to check in and was very very nice. We had to haul our luggage up the stairs. We had heavy suitcases, it really was too much for us. There was a funky smell when we arrived. Got better or used to it, not sure. Upstairs shower just seemed grimy.
• Gibeom (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nanci (8/5): Lovely stay in Florence in our own apartment - It was central and near everything! Easy walk to River for running. It was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed. Host answered our messages in a timely manner. We had a lot of trouble with the lock at first. It was up 3 flights of stairs, and we had a lot of heavy luggage. It would be nice in the description to know this. Also there was early morning construction right outside our bedroom. We would have liked to know this in advance as well.
• Anonymous (7/5): Great communication with host. Prompt responses. The location is great and it is very spacious. A great place for mor - The location is superb
• Hillary (6/5): FANTASTIC Location, accommodations are just ok. - The location was perfect for exploring Florence! It was central to everything we wanted to see and you could explore multiple piazza's within minutes. The apartment was nice to have the space with a kitchen and a place to hang out. The air conditioners in each room were great and easy to use. The host who met us to give us the keys was super friendly and the host we communicated with on WhatsApp was very responsive and helpful. The entire building smelled like sewage in the stairwell when we got there which was a little shocking and off putting as a first impression. It also made us dread going back to the apartment because it was on the top floor so you couldn't escape the smell quickly. It got a little better once in the apartment, but not completely gone. The kitchen also smelled like rotting cheese and we couldn't figure out why. The shower attached to the bedroom also almost overflowed every time we showered. We had to take mid-shower breaks every time.
• Siobhan (8/5): Great location but could do with a freshen up - Excellent location Eduardo was very helpful It wasn’t quite as nice as the photos, it’s all gotten a little shabby. Arm on the sofa broken, no curtains on living room windows, the shower doesn’t drain very well, bowls chipped and a few other issues. A little maintenance and a coat of paint would be a big improvement
• Darrel (9/5): Great location, good value. - The location was amazing and the apartment was huge. Check in was super easy.
• Rebecca (9/5): Great time here, we absolutely loved our stay - Very spacious, great location and close to everything. Recommendations from the host were great. Would definitely stay here again Everything was good, there is a bar somewhere near the apartment which was loud one evening but can’t be helped.
• Darrell (7/5): Great location, acceptable accommodations in Florence - The location of this apartment is amazing - right in the centre of Florence. Key pick up was easy - a fellow met us there and helped us into the apartment with our luggage. The apartment itself is quite spacious and interesting layout. Unfortunately when we got on an earlier train than we had booked we were not able to change our arrival time (reasonable as it was only a couple of hours notice), but it meant we had to kill 2 hours in Florence with our luggage. We found a great little restaurant below the apartment that was really good. (Taverna Divina Commedia) It was so good we tried to go back again but they were closed on Mondays :(. The apartment listing said it had a washing machine. We had been travelling for over 2 weeks at this point, so part of our reason for choosing this apartment was the washer. That definitely created inconvenience as our next locations did not have any washing. While the location is very convenient, there is no view, and is quite dark inside. The apartment is very old with very limited supplies and dishes - not even 2 matching wine glasses in Tuscany! Plates were chipped, and very few so may have been a problem if you had more than 2 people. Overall the place seemed clean, but there was hair in the drain of the shower from the previous people which was pretty gross. Other than that though everything seemed clean, so somehow that got missed in the cleaning of the room. People should be aware that this room is up high and has no elevator. Several flights of stone stairs with luggage was tough. Also, every time you went back to your room you had to climb those stairs. Anyone with mobility issues would find this a huge challenge. Also - don't have too much or heavy luggage or you would have to take several trips (I counted the steps once and I think it was close to 70 steps). The apartment itself was also 2 floors, so a long staircase up to the main bedroom and bathroom.
• Adrian (9/5): Superb - Massive space, right in the heart of Florence. Could walk everywhere we needed to go. Daniel was a great host, helped us bring our suitcases up and gave us a complete run down of the apartment. Could see the stairs being an issue for some, they are quite steep and tiring after a long day of walking.
• Adrienn (10/5): Super central, spacious, highly recommended - It had a fantastic location. Super convenient to start your daily / evening walks. Everything was so close. The appartment was very clean, well cooled. Situated on the 3rd floor without elevator, kept us fit. We would choose this appartment again. Highly recommended. Host was flexible, easy to communicate with.
• Nicola- (10/5): Large comfortable apartment in excellent location - Excellent location, very clean and comfortable. Daniel was an excellent host, thank you x
• Kostadin (9/5): Superb -
• Gongonkom (10/5): Experienced a "vera vita locale" in the heart of Florence - This apartment was perfect. The location, room size and room facilities are all excellent. There are not many apartments where Wifi is as stable as here. The kitchen is spacious and has many kitchenwear, which makes me want to cook something myself in Florence. The location is just behind Piazza della Signoria, only 30 meters away from Gucci. I was surprised at how quiet and comfortable the area was, even though it was right behind Gucci. The manager, Daniel, is very kind and gives us a lot of local information about Florence. Even when he was off on weekends, he answered our questions promptly and was very helpful. I have been to Florence many times, but I am convinced that it is rare to live in such a good condition in the heart of Firenze. none
• Becca (8/5): Very good -
• Gill (9/5): perfect base for a city break with a friend. - amazing location and felt great to be staying in 13th century townhouse a stone’s throw from the sights up four narrow flights of stairs with a heavy case! what can you do though- small price to pay for the location. kitchen is not brilliantly equipped. think owner could provide better kitchen utensils and things like washing up liquid and tea towels. there is a dishwasher but it was broken when we stayed and in reality a dishwasher is not great if there are two people!
• Dunn (9/5): Would definitely stay here again! Lovely apartment in a great location. - Excellent location, right in the heart of central Florence. Allowed us to explore everywhere by foot. Big apartment with everything we needed for the weekend. Daniel was really helpful and brilliant with communication.
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment is currently amazing value for money (September 2022) at around 100 EUR/night. It is bigger than the apartment where I live in Melbourne, is equipped with everything you need, and is midway between the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio. Daniel is a wonderful host, he communicates well digitally and in person and is happy to help with anything. Lots of great restaurants nearby and cooking facilities work as expected too. This apartment was also a great opportunity to do Laundry for me but be sure to ask Daniel about the Laundry if you stay - you need special tips to use it. Had a great time!
• Donnie (10/5): Better than a hotel - beautiful and large apartment. The location was perfect and is my favorite part of the city. It is on the third floor. try not to bring heavy bags.
