Guest Reviews

• Ilya (10/5): -
• Monica (5/5): It was OK for the price - Great location. It is especially convenient that there s a restaurant next to the building entrance. The apartment has a moldy smell. The pans in the kitchen had scratched up nonstick surface which makes them unsafe to use. The water pressure in the loft shower is so low, we couldn't use it. The apartment is supposed to be on the 3rd floor, but since in Italy the first floor is not counted and the ceilings are very high, the steps to get there are closer to about 7th floor.
• TINI and KARL (10/5): We really loved being in Alberto’s apartment. We were right in the thick of it all, being about a block away from the Du - The decor. The design. The location. Beautiful Alberto. Not much at all. Being on the third floor, there were several stairs, but easily manageable.
• Karla (10/5): The appartment is well equipped. All the communication was nice and fast. - Alberto welcomed us nicely and gave important information. Our stay here was extraordinary.
• Kevin (9/5): Superb -
• Howard (7/5): Good - Location. 2 nice bathrooms. Large kitchen. Terrible bed downstairs. (Been to Italy 8 times and this is the worst) 4 flights of stairs. A/C was off per Govt. Only fan was broken. Got a little hot on 80° day.
• Kristin (10/5): Perfect location, great apartment, clean and comfortable, great host! - Location was great, hosts were helpful and always available for questions and recommendations. The apartment was well appointed and clean. The apartment is located on the fourth floor with no elevator - this was not at all a problem for us, but could be for someone with mobility issues.
• Nettie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Juliana (10/5): Excellent location and spacious apartment. - Excellent location and friendly staff. Master bedroom bed could have been more comfortable.
• Kurt (10/5): Exceptional - Nice place and a great location
• Claw (10/5): Great location, very clean and comfortable home. - Location was great. Close to the Duomo, shopping, cafes, and restaurants. Very clean, communication with hosts perfect. Nothing. Everything was great!
• Mido (8/5): would stay again if new mattress in master... - Location was great, apartment was neat and organized, everything was great really. Master bed mattress needs to be tossed, it scoops/is hollow on one side, clearly where one has slept more. Not enough outlets to use multiple items, charge phones, use computer etc... asked for an extension cord, it was brought the following morning, and that helped some. Might be a good idea to leave an extension cord or two in a drawer and let occupants know it's there. Overall great experience...
• Osamu (3/5): I would recommend avoiding the use of this facility especially during cold weather. - We kept in touch and when I arrived at the facility by cab, the person in charge was waiting for us. Entry into the apartment was smooth. There are many complaints. We were three people traveling and even though we booked a room with three beds, they only had two available. We tried to use the sofa bed, but it looked like it had not been used for a while. It was very cold, so I asked about the heating, but it was only steam, and also intermittently turned off, so at night, it was really very cold. When we spoke to the owner, he gave us unnecessary explanations about SDG's and energy saving, which was very disappointing.
• Samantha (10/5): Perfect Florence location - Beautiful and spacious apartment so close to everything. Beds were comfortable and we felt lovely and warm. Would stay here again Our stay wasn't long enough
• Kerr (9/5): Location was great, close to many restaurants and close to the train station. -
• Jorg (9/5): Great location; would recommend, if you don't mind the walkup - Great location and hosts Apartment itself just couldn't reach our high expectation (based on the high review score).
• Simon (10/5): Exceptional - Perfectly located, reasonable size for a couple, clean and quite, couldnt ask for much more.
• Cheryl (9/5): Superb - Absolutely loved the location of the apartment! Very cute and clean apartment. The bedroom and bathroom on the main floor was spacious with lots of storage space. 2 of our favorite restaurants were right downstairs and just a few steps away. Perfect!! The loft bedroom was quite small and it was fine for me as I'm short but my husband had to duck and the bathroom was small. But, I would still stay here again because everything else was perfect!
• Brian (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, clean, spacious
• Jonida (9/5): Superb -
• Kerr (10/5): Amazing, Comfortable, Beautiful Accommodations in the BEST part of Florence! 10/10 - Amazing, Comfortable, Beautiful Accommodations in the BEST part of Florence! 10/10 It is no wonder that this apartment earns top scores consistently from its guests. Beautiful accommodations in a historic building- near the Duomo- what’s not to love?! The beds were SUPER comfortable and the two bathrooms luxurious. This apartment is located in a central neighborhood in Florence- with easy walking distance to all the awesome sights. The clean kitchen and simple floor plan was spacious. The host had excellent communication for our arrival- and helped us book a taxi for the early flight. Will we be back? Of course! This is the best location and accommodations in Florence by far. 10/10
• Capozzi (8/5): Very good -
• Mary (9/5): Gem of an apartment - Fabulous location in the heart of the city. Really comfortable apartment. Well equipped and clean. Francesco was very helpful. Air con a must! Be prepared for 3 flights of stairs but well worth it for the views of the roof tops and sunlight!!!
• Yanhong (10/5): It’s a wonderful staying. We’ll come back here for our next Florence trip. - Location, cleanliness and comfort. Nothing.
• Callum (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adrienne (10/5): Loved it, will stay here again - Very central location. Right in Florence city center: easy ~10-15 minute walk from the train station, and less than 5 minute walk to Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. Very spacious. Our teen had her own loft and bathroom while we had our own bed/bath. We had a long trip throughout Italy, so the washer was extra convenient. The host was very kind and responsive, and it was very easy getting the keys. AC and wifi both very strong, HUGE plus in these record breaking summer heats! I definitely recommend staying here! It was definitely a highlight of our trip. None
• Rachel (10/5): Perfect and Comfortable Florence Apartment - The location was amazingly close to the cathedral. Also the restaurant at the end of the street was so delicious we ended up eating there 3 times. The stairs were many, but totally worth it!
• Trish (10/5): Excellent location and facilities - would stay there again! - Excellent location near Piazza San Marco, but off of a quiet courtyard. Having a washing machine was a tremendous asset, as was having two bedrooms and two bathrooms. A full kitchen and full-size refrigerator, plus dinnerware and cooking supplies was appreciated. The host met us at check-in and provided all the information required for access and use of the apartment. Not suited for mobility impaired, as it is up 3 flights of stairs with no elevator. Upstairs bedroom was warm until the a/c reached the unit. Also upstairs ceiling is low, so care is needed if you are tall or are accessing the washing machine.
• Angela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karen (9/5): Superb -
• Deborah (10/5): Great place to stay - The location could not be better, and Alberto was wonderful. He was very communicative and made check in instructions very clear. He helped us carry our suitcases up the stairs. The air conditioning was great. Extremely clean. The beds were not as soft as we normally are used to.
• Richard (8/5): Very good - The location was a little out of the way. On the map, most of the sites seem fairly close and within walking distance. However, it was quite a walk to get to most of the sites, except for the Mercato Centrale. There is a bar and a small grocery store just down the street, which makes it convenient for a longer stay, vice our 4-day stay.
• Hui (7/5): Good -
• Tamer (10/5): Exceptional - The staff very helpful. Excellent location. Very big apartment. Fully equipped. No elevator
• Rajan (7/5): Amazing location and will return to florence - Space and comfortable for 3-4 guest 3 storey building and lots of stairs which we knew upfront, actually most of florence is like this. Not for everyone especially if you have luggage to haul up and down
• Dave (8/5): Place was great location and space. Alberto was a bit high maintenance for me. - Great location. Nice layout. Comfortable space. Clothes washing machine. Sometimes I am not sure people look at their space like a guest does. A few hooks or shelves go a long way to help make things a bit easier. We are in pretty good shape and travel light so the stairs with luggage weren’t too bad but if you pack a lot you may work up a sweat. Lastly Alberto was the main contact point. Admittedly I function just in time. So I had not read the many messages he sent about check in, flight info etc. He was very frustrated that I had not responded and went on and on about how is working hard for me. Then we could not get in until after our tour so we had to store our luggage at a place called Bounce. It was great. I was not thrilled and was curt in my response. He was angry with my tone and had worked so hard for me. Maybe he is on the spectrum. Anyway another guy met us to let us in. He was very nice.
• Courtney (10/5): Exceptional -
• Campbell (5/5): You are paying for location. - You are paying for the location which is superb. Communications were quick. The property was mid level accommodations. The table cloth had cut marks. Door molding was missing. There was lukewarm water. (We found manual for water heater and increased the temperature.). 73 stairs up to apartment. There were two men, Alessandro and Alberti, who communicated with us, and one of them was rude several times. An example: We arrived before check in to stow our baggage but then rudely told us they did not offer that. I attached a screenshot of their text stating that they did. It was ok because we found nearby cafe to wait a few hours and enjoy the food.
• Michelle (10/5): A clean and well maintained apartment with wonderful hosts. - The location was perfect and near just about everything including 5 restaurants and gelato on the same street. Because it was not a main road, you were very close to everything but without the crowds. Francesco was excellent about communicating about when to meet to collect the keys. He was kind enough to carry our luggage upstairs and to recommend local restaurants. Just wish we had more time. The were a lot of stairs. We understand the age of the building and it’s not possible to put in an elevator in many of the old buildings …part of the charm of Florence.
• Alaina (10/5): We had an amazing time which was only made better by our stay here! - It was pristinely clean, had all of the things we needed inside such as kitchen and bathroom supplies, and couldn’t have been in a better location. Alberto was an amazing host who communicated with me the whole time! Nothing
• Cimino (9/5): Overall a great place to stay in Florence - bright, clean, spacious, and close to everything! - Location was great, loved all the windows and the 2 bedrooms. The place was bright, clean, and spacious! Tv and wifi were nice to have. Hosts were helpful and quick to respond. Showers had low water pressure and you could only have either scalding hot or ice cold water
• Ivelina (8/5): Very good -
• Gretchen (7/5): mostly nice stay, except for mold on the wall that was told, not mould. - Location, clean and spacious. Plenty of kitchenware. washer available. Nice host. good Wi-fi. Master bedroom did not close (no privacy), what looked like a good amount of mold on the wall under one of the air conditioners. early checkout at 10am instead of 11-12. Shower water pressure not consistent. no place to put shower things and no toilet paper holder. Was not offered a discount for broken master bedroom door and moldy wall.
• Chris (9/5): Superb - Location and friendly staff
• Jacqueline (8/5): Fantastic location for sightseeing, on a quiet street, very friendly host. - The location is very central and right by the Duomo - ideal for sightseeing, but tucked away on a side street so not too loud. The host Francesco was very helpful, very speedy responses on WhatsApp whenever I had a question and helped without delay when I had issues with the blind in the bedroom window. The apartment is naturally quite cool, and the air-conditioning in all three rooms (both bedrooms and the living room) worked very well. The apartment was very clean. As other reviewers mentioned, there is no elevator in the building so if you have mobility issues or young children with prams, this might be an issue. I didn't find it an issue however. Proximity to the Duomo is great, but the church bells do start at 7am every morning - if you are an early bird not a problem, but if you like to sleep in you may find this an issue! The sliding door to the main bedroom was broken, and there is no door for the second bedroom on the mezzanine level - if you require more privacy, this might also be an issue. The shower in the main bathroom had good water pressure, but the second bathroom less so.
• Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jenny (10/5): We would 100% want to stay here again. It was perfect. - Great location, wonderful host and plenty of space for the three of us. The host also gave fantastic food recommendations. The street was lively, but not too loud or obnoxious. I loved it, but could see how it could be a little loud for people with infants or toddlers who nap. Our son is 12 and he adored the apartment, nearby food and the activity around us.
• Mikko (7/5): Look elsewhere for a family stay in Firenze, despite the excellent location - Great hosts, excellent location and very clean property. Not suitable for families. On a very loud street (with no soundproofing through the windows) and noice comes through throughout the night until early morning. For example, you can hear people’s discussions during dinner in the downstairs restaurant or arguments when walking home from clubs. Bedroom of door is broken and very dangerous. This has been mentioned by several reviews for months, but the host was very indifferent about this saying that this had only happened the day before check-in. If this is the attitude towards maintenance, what else is wrong? Also, the metal stairs to the second floor bedroom are very dangerous. My daughter fell on our first day at the property and got a very bad mark on her hand because of this.
• Lily (8/5): Clean, spacious, excellent location, lots of stairs. - The location was excellent and the host was very communicative. The host was there when we arrived and helped us with our bags and gave us an introduction to the place, showing us how to use the air conditioning, etc. The place was clean, and upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by how bright and beautiful it was. I didn't realize when I booked this place that it was on the 3rd floor with no elevator so if you are elderly or have mobility issues, have kids, a lot of luggage, or just don't want to be going up 6 flights of stairs, I would not recommend this place. It was tough taking the stairs in the heat, especially with luggage. I suggest a photo of the stairs be added to the listing so people can see the stairs. The mattress upstairs also sank a bit in the middle. The locking / unlocking of the door was confusing for us the first time, so a quick demo from the host would be helpful. No water pressure in the shower upstairs.
• Deborah (10/5): This was an amazing stay!!I would definitely stay there again - The place was amazing!! Right in the Duomo area! The host Francesco was wonderful. Greater us and explain everything. Everything about the stay was perfect Nothing
• Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Molly (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jessica (10/5): Best place to stay in Florence! - Perfect central location in Florence, couldn’t have been better. Apartment was great, all amenities available and very comfortable. the hosts were brilliant and very accommodating. n/a
• Diane (10/5): Exceptional - Most idyllic location deep in the heart of the tuscany countryside, with views that simply take your breath away never have we felt so much peace and tranquility. Not only is it a perfect location but is a delightful tuscany villa that allowed us the pleasure of its rustic charm, the amenities are modern and excellent with everything we coukd have wished for within the villa. To top all if this (if possible) there is a lovely pool which we swam in daily, with views across the valley with rolling view's for miles. Highly highly recommend. It will lift your spirit and free your soul♥️ The villa was perfect all communication with the owners were done over what's app and face to face on arrival, lovely people ♥️
• Karen (9/5): Superb - excellent location uncomfortable upstairs bed, broken bedroom door
• Filipa (10/5): Would definitely come back - Our host Francesco was very friendly and helpful. He met us, showed and explained everything. About the property - perfect for couple(s). It has everything for a longer stay - even dishwasher and washing machine. Don't fear the stairs - not so many at all and easy to climb. The Duomo is just 3 mins away. The street, even very central is calm and somehow quite. Ci torneremo volentieri! There are maybe few things that could be renovated, but they do not affect your stay
• Taylor (9/5): Amazing! Thank you so much! - Was an amazing location!
• Verna (9/5): Good choice - There was no breakfast offered to us. Upper room bed had peculiar smell
• Saara (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, everything in the apartment, very easy and comfortable stay
• Selina (8/5): It was great, thank you so much! - Unfortunately the shower was rather temperamental and it was very difficult to adjust the temperature
• Vickie (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and clean apartment. We found everything we need for our stay. The fully equipped kitchen is a plus. We were able to prepare meals some days. The location is at center of Florence, and is also in walking distance to the train station. We had good communication with Alberto, the owner. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. none
• Dawn (9/5): Really nice apartment in a great location. - Located right in the centre of Florence. Close to all the major attractions and the tram line. Lovely apartment with everything needed for a comfortable stay in the city. Third floor, no lift, could be challenging for people with mobility problems.
• Antonia (10/5): Exceptional -
