• McIsaac (9/5): Wonderful location! - The flat was comfortable and a great place in the heart of the city. Very good location and wonderful coffee shop just below. There are a lot of stairs and no elevator for heavy luggage!
• Lisa (8/5): Convenient location with built in stair master lol - The location was great. Too many stairs.
• Claudia Vittoria (9/5): - Posizione perfetta per godersi la città e anche vicino la stazione per chi viaggia in treno. Appartamento molto carino ed host disponibile. Non ci sono le zanzariere alla finestre perciò bisogna munirsi di antizanzara.

• carolina (5/5): Para uma estadia rápida vale a pena, devida a localização - Gostamos das camas que eram confortáveis, travesseiros, banheiro e espaços muito limpos e localização ótima, pudemos deixar as malas antes do check-in quando chegamos e um pouco depois quando saímos Utensílios sujos na cozinha, não tem forno Não tem elevador e são 5 andares e eles não avisaram antes, é difícil acessibilidade pra quem tem mala pesada Luzes queimadas no apartamento, era escuro Ducha muito difícil de usar porque fica desligando sozinha, parecia de academia Não tem secadora de roupa Não tinha o mínimo de sabão para lavar as louças, tivemos que deixar sujo e as que estavam lá estavam sujas A comunicação era difícil, não me deram o mínimo de informações de qual era o apartamento e andar do apartamento eu tive que perguntar tudo em cima da hora quando já tinha chegado. No dia que cheguei pedi o Wi-Fi porque não tinham me passado e a resposta foi que não tinha Wi-Fi disponível aquele dia, que a tim iria arrumar e depois disso não falaram mais nada, ficamos 4 dias e nenhum dia teve Wi-Fi Apartamento frio, os ares condicionados não esquentam o suficiente só se deixar ligado 24h e todos os aquecedores normais estavam desligados inclusive do banheiro tentamos ligar o termostato mas pedia uma senha que também não foi passada para nós.
• Gionata (10/5): Appartamento bellissimo comodo in centro pulito proprietari disponibili e cordiali ci tornerò sicuramente - Tutto nella pulita Nulla
• Yi chen (10/5): - Everything! The flat is so charming. Perfect size for my family of 4 (2 teens). The place is spotless. Tastefully decorated. There is washer but no dryer. Which is ended up being ok. But a few items of clothes not completely dry. There was no washer fluid or powder we had to go out and buy some.

• Sophie (10/5): Brilliant and would highly recommend - Amazing location and really lovely apartment. Yes there were a lot of stairs, but it does mean that you have no one above you and is very quiet, there is also no street noise whatsoever, so a lovely haven from busy Florence. The host was really communicative and accommodating, especially when we needed to stay longer at the last minute. Nothing
• Tessa (7/5): Mooie locatie, dichtbij het centrum! Maar niet al te schoon. - Perfecte locatie! Je bent zo in het centrum. Daarnaast is het appartement heerlijk koel (ondanks dat het een top floor flat is) door de aircos. Het was niet overal even schoon.
• Tere (8/5): - Appartamento molto bello e pulito Mancanza di un ascensore
• Pritchard (9/5): - Beautiful apartment - I could live here! And super friendly and accommodating hosts.
• Gardoni (9/5): Superb -
• Jackie (9/5): The flat is in a great location - a short walk to all the major sights, but in a quiet street. Comfortable and clean - Comfortable and cosy 120 steps to climb up to it! The virtual key system took a bit if getting used to
• Tania (9/5): Fabulous Firenze - loved the location the 6 flights of stairs and no lift.
• Nicole (10/5): Awesome place central to most attractions and close to some great eateries! - Homely vibe, great location and great amenities/setup. Owner was very communicative and kind. Thanks so much!
• Brodie (7/5): Great apartment in a great location, keep in mind there is no lift to the apartment and 91 steps - The location is great Carrying suitcases up 91 steps in the heat was a bit much
• Kristian (6/5): Great location, but some comfort issues - Very good location. First, i am not used to downloading my family’s passport information online. After booking ( no refund option only) we were required to download all personal id-s online to a website. Second, if you stay with a family, more than 2 people, the kids have to use couch pillows to sleep with. They use pillow sheets but inside are two hard decorating pillows And third, the shower, basically you have to keep pushing the button to have the water running. And it was not easy to push that button, especially when your 5 years old kids need to be washed. But great location, basically everything is there, just depends what you are looking for.
• Jill (9/5): Apart from the stairs and the heat, we had a great stay. - The apartment is spacious and well set up. Very comfy bed and lovely sized bathroom. It’s so close to everything which makes walking everywhere easy. Even though we were aware of no lift on the property, we arrived on a very hot day and walking up the 3 flights of stairs with our luggage was a struggle. When we got into an our apartment it was extremely hot and took a very long time for the air conditioner to have any effect.
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful suite, clean and a great location.
• Arjen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Endri (10/5): Fantastic location with a little problem - Location is fantastic, cleaning, space, facilities etc I didn't like Vikey as it won't work when there's no internet or phone. My phone was discharged completely after a long day and I couldn't open the building door. The building door should have a numerical code just like the apartment door.
• R.i.b. (2/5): Very poor -
• Bryan (9/5): Great location amazing value - Amazing spacious apartment well appointed well away from the street noise. Walking distance to every attraction we had on our list and so many options to eat out if you don't want to use the kitchen.
• Rowland (9/5): Superb - Nice clean and comfy It’s a bunch of stairs although it’s expected in a medieval city
• Illya (10/5): Great place in the heart of Florence - Fantastic location, in a great part of the city. The apartment itself was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The owner was very helpful and great with comms. Nothing.
• Allan (9/5): Great place for its value. - Apartment is well located, right in the city center. Minutes walk from local supermarket and points of interest, easy to move everywhere. Modern design, well equipped and cozy place to spend a couple of nights. Host was easy to reach and allowed us to leave our bags early and check in. Shower got clogged after a normal shower, minor issue. Have present this is a top floor unit, 71 stairs to go up to. I love the exercise so a plus to me :) but if travelling with older people this may turn into discomfort.
• Mark (4/5): Pictures are deceiving - The location was good and the host allowed us to store our luggage until 1 pm. The photos are deceiving. It is not a 2 bedroom apartment, it is an open kitchen with a sofa(brown one) and 1 bedroom. From the bedroom window, you can see only some metal pipes. From the kirchrn window- some parking.When we arrived, slightly wet towells were inside the washing machine. There was no rug on the floor, and the wooden kitchen table was covered with a cheap plastic cover. The shower door was broken, and it was very hard to close it. When I told the host, he said that he would try to schedule a technician if he was available... but we didn't want to sit and wait for a technician on your vacation in Florence... The host promised to send us instructions on how to enter the apartment a day prior to arrival, but we didn't receive anything. Once we arrived to Florence, we texted the host from the train station, but there was no reply. 20 minutes later, we called on what's up, then on a regular phone, texted, and sent a message on booking. Finally, the host answered but asked us to wait a few minutes. So, we were standing next to the front door under the sun🌡 Then, the host sent us a link to how to enter the apartment by using the internet. Luckily, we had a connection. When we got inside, It was 25 degrees. Again, we had to wait for the host to send us instructions on how to operate the air conditioner. There is a termostate on the wall, but the a/c, is controlled via remote. The worst part was that If one person is in the shower, another can not use the sink because the shower loses pressure and water gets cold. Also, the drain in the shower is terrible. By the time you finish the shower, it is 3 inches of dirty water, and another person has to wait about 10-15 minutes for the water to go down unto the drain. In the morning, you have to wait for 10 minutes for the water to become warm in the shower. So, i would rate this property 3/5. Ps: I'm not sure why all the ppl in the review said that it is amazing...
• Brona (7/5): beautiful flat, very helpful host. - location was absolutely fantastic - right in the centre of everything - flat was extremely clean and comforable. tiny downside - no lift in building
• Lois (8/5): Great introduction to Italy in a lovely, walkable city. The Santa Maria Novela district is great, and the apartment is v - Location!!!! Very close to museums, city center attractions, and several wine bars/restaurants/cafes. No elevator. For the advertisement of a “top floor flat,” it really means climbing several flights of stairs to a nicely decorated room with no views of anything interesting from any windows. It’s a very minor complaint, though. For anyone reading this, travel with a sensible amount of luggage or you’ll find yourself tackling a lot of steps with your heavy luggage load.
• Carolina (9/5): Great location, good space and good value - The property is great. A lot of space, very comfortable.It was a great visit. I think it’s about 6 floors? Honestly forgot to count. Location was great. Cross the bridge for amazing ice cream. The only caveat is the stairs. It’s a lot of stairs, which is typical. It worked out for me, but I was thinking of renting it for my mom after I left and I am kind of glad I did not. You do need internet to have access to the front door and building. A full length mirror and better lighting in the bathroom would be a great and easy upgrade.
• Mykhailo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Harry (10/5): Exceptional -
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gerard (10/5): Excellent vibe - We loved the location. Everything is walking distance and only 9 min Walk from the train station. The apartment was very clean and quiet. We stayed here half through our trip, so it was very convenient to be able to wash our clothes (no dryer, tho but clothes line available). It's very private and secluded. Spacious and bright. The decoration is cute and the space is big! It has a king-size bed, and the sofa-bed is queen. The host was attentive and polite. Communication was smooth and promp. 98 steps to go up to the apartment. No elevator. I wish the apartment had a terrace or a balcony. I preferred softer beds, so I had a hard time sleeping.
• Ronelle (6/5): Great location, too many stairs, No lift !!! - Location was good. Was clean and having a washing machine was good . Niko was very friendly and helpful with information we needed. It had 68 stairs to the top of apartment , no lift or help. Had my daughter and a friend staying with me , they both were unable to carry their bags up, I had to do it , wasn’t great .
• Minas (1/5): Stay away - A few of the ammenities in the apartment were ok, the AC was not too bad, but it ends there. What the owner doesnt state in his add, is top floor literally means top floor, on the 5th floor, no elevator. It was such a pleasure lugging our suitcases up 5 flights of stairs in the dead heat of Florence. When we asked him why it wasnt made more clear, his response is "it says top floor" but it doesnt say no elevator. The location was also a dead spot in Florence, not much around it and It was difficult to find and barely any help from the host. The address it gives you, when put into a maps app actually takes you to a different location, which is the same location the host gives you, useless. It took over an hour for him to reply to help us out, this information should have been given earlier. Horrible stay and my worst experience with booking.com, ill be back to using AIRBNB from now on, useless.
• Nicolina (8/5): I would highly recommend staying here. Perfect location and space to have in Florence - great location and beautiful space! a/c was not working well. The manager sent someone to fix it, however I think the a/c unit itself is not very strong. therefor we had to keep the windows open which allowed a lot of mosquitos in.
• Lisa (7/5): Good - It was clean and cozy Did state the amount of stairs to get up to the property. No elevator
• Chris (8/5): Very good - location
• Lisa (6/5): Great location - Location was perfect! Literally 2 minutes walk to the Arno River and two bridges from the Ponte Vechio. Apartment was clean with extra towels, bedding and pillows. There are 70 steps up to the apartment and just when you think you've done climbing, there are another 20 behind the apartment door. I wouldn't say this is a negative, just come prepared to be out of puff afterwards. The roof top views are lovely and you feel part of the history of Florence (think renaissance artist haha). The shower pressure is terrible and I struggled to wash the shampoo from my shoulder length hair. We had no heating during our stay (good job about the extra bedding). I reported this but nothing changed. No, tea, coffee, soap or cleaning products provided. When you're staying somewhere for a few days you don't want to keel buying washing up liquid etc and don't have space in luggage to carry it from place to place. There is no TV.
• Darryl (9/5): Superb - Good location. Lots of space. Clean. How to access the property could have been made clearer in advance. There are lots of stairs, perhaps needs to be explicitly stated in the description.
