Guest Reviews
- Cheryl (10/5): Lovely apartment in center of Florence - This third-floor modern apartment far exceeded my expectations. The owner, Leonardo, supplies everything you could need for a comfortable and pleasant stay, including snacks and very good coffee. His kindness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. He even met us for an early check-in. The location is excellent--walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and main tourists sights, including the Uffizi Gallery, the Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, and more. I highly recommend staying at the Old Convent in Via de Neri. I will definitely come back here on my next visit to Florence! You need to be able to climb a couple of flights of stairs.
- MARIA ALEJANDRA (10/5): Es increíble - Una experiencia increíble el apartamento, ubicado dentro de un convento del 1200/1300. Tenía todo lo necesario, estaba muy completo. A pasos de la galería uffizi y de muchos bares de la zona Nada
- Stephanie (10/5): Amazing location and flexible apartment layout. - Fabulous location and flexible apartment layout with 1 bedroom with a queen bed and 2 other sleeping spaces. The kitchen is very functional and the bathroom a pleasure to use. We were about 50m from the hop-on hop-off city bus an downstairs we loads of great shops and eateries. 2 flights of stairs! But it helped my step count :)
- Bianchi (10/5): - l'attenzione ai dettagli: prese, luci, indicazioni sull'uso degli elettrodomestici, informazioni precise sull'utilizzo di quanto presente nell'appartamento
- Jim (10/5): Fantastic place to stay in Florence! - Great location, felt like being at home. Could walk out the door and immerse ourselves in Florence. Leonardo is an exceptional host. Well equipped kitchen, bathroom, etc. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Outside of host control, there can be some loudness coming from the street due to weekend activities. It is a very "young" city with lots of students. Earplugs remedied the situation nicely.
- CHRISTIAN (10/5): Le meilleur séjour passé à Florence, où nous revenons régulièrement. - Emplacement idéalement situé à 5 min à pied du musée des offices et près du ponte-vecchio. Quartier très animé avec de très nombreux magasins et d'excellentes trattorie. Étonnamment, l'appartement est très calme. Il est meublé avec goût et très bien équipé. Il ne manquait rien.
Leonardo nous a accueillis en personne et a été très arrangeant pour la restitution des clés. Encore merci.
Tout a ceci contribué à un excellent séjour à Florence
- Anne (10/5): great location, our host was very helpful and informative - Great location, clean and lots of amenities.
Kitchen well equipped including some staples perfect as it was
- FREDERIC (9/5): Magnifique appartement au cœur des sites historiques. - J’ai passé un excellent séjour dans cet appartement typique en plein cœur de Florence. L’emplacement est vraiment parfait : tout se fait à pied, les principaux sites sont à moins de 10 minutes, et la gare se trouve à environ 20 minutes de marche. L’appartement est très agréable, avec une belle hauteur sous plafond et une décoration pleine de charme. Il peut y avoir un peu d’animation dans les rues, mais c’est aussi ce qui fait le charme du centre historique. Une adresse que je recommande vivement ! Le bruit de la rue, mais c'est aussi le charme de l'hypercentre 🙂
- Barb or Tom (10/5): We felt safe in the area. Location is A+. Leonardo is a great host. - Location, location, location! Walkable to everything we were wanting to visit. Leonardo paid attention to trying to anticipate and to provide what we needed in the apartment. Sometimes we woke due to people talking loudly as they walked on the road below.
- Guillaume (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): Comfortable, centrally-located Firenze location! - Leonardo was a superlative, professional host! An excellent communicator and thorough in his explanation of the different features of the apartment, he provided helpful literature regarding what to see, do, and where to dine. Old Convent in Via De Neri offers a terrific location and launching pad to explore the many delights of Firenze: literally steps away from the Uffizi, fantastic culinary delights, the Duomo, and walking distance to Santa Maria Novella railway station. Flat is stylishly and thoughtfully outfitted with excellent bathroom facilities, washing machine, cold A/C, excellent, reliable Wi-Fi connection, water filter, ample linens and household supplies, even a functioning classical guitar! Despite the highly bustling nature of the Via de Neri area, we were pleasantly surprised by the quiet: occasional street sounds, but nothing that disturbed us. We greatly enjoyed our visit and hope to return soon! N/A: everything was wonderful! Note: if you DO have mobility issues and/or don't pack light, pay attention to Leonardo's up-front caveat in his location description. You'll need to climb steep, narrow stairs to reach the flat; the apartment also has some places with staggered levels. We personally had no problems with the steps.
- Dragontaunter (10/5): Exceptional - Location location location A bit noisy at night
- Kelly (10/5): Perfect place close to attractions - The apartment was situated perfectly to visit all of the popular attractions (in easy walking distance). Everything in the apartment was well labelled and easy to use. Very clean and attractive. Lots of bars and restaurants in the area. Leonardo communicated well with us. Filtered water from the tap! The stairs!
- William (10/5): Excellent host/ excellent location/ exceptionally clean! - Leonardo was an amazing host and was there to greet us, explain the operation of all appliances, and provide easy access via phone or text if we needed additional information. The apartment was exceptionally clean. The location was closed to iconic destinations and many dining options. The bedroom window was located directly above a very narrow Street where occasionally a vehicle or motorcycle would accelerate through.... the the noise and echoing was easily mitigated with a pair of ear plugs period
- Indranath (10/5): Excellent choice - Excellent location!!!
Excellent apartment and amenities
Recommend very highly!!! N/a
- Lubov (10/5): Exceptional - Everything really. Leonardo was very helpful and a welcoming host. The apartment was very cosy, and had many facilities and thought put into it. It was very clean, with great design and taste. The location of apartment is also very good: the supermarket is only about 2 minute walk away, and the main city attractions are also a few minutes away.
The area around is full of restaurants, and many small shops, and even with that, one can have a relaxed atmosphere in the apartment itself.
We enjoyed every moment of the stay, will certainly come back again, and recommend it to everyone.
- Jeff (9/5): Review from an experienced visitor to Florence. - Fantastic location near the center. It is within a 10 minute walk to pretty much everything Florence is famous for, and no more than a 20 minute walk from just about anything else. It is also less than 25m from the best gelato I've had anywhere in Florence (Gelateria dei Neri), and about a 1 minute walk to All'Antico Vinaio sandwich shop. Really delicious sandwiches, but we decided not to wait in the LONG lunch line at lunch time. It was much shorter at around 4pm and definitely worth waiting a few minutes!
The apartment was very clean and Leonardo was really nice and very helpful. We were there for seven nights. I had a question about the washing machine one day and he responded to my text within 5 minutes.
My knees didn't love the three flights of stairs to get up to the apartment, but that was a me thing. My 18 and 21 year old sons had no problems.
There was noise from late night revelers on the street below who I assume we're walking home after drinking plenty of wine, or whatever. I brought a tiny travel sized white noise machine that solved the issue. I'm definitely glad I had it.
I've been lucky to have spent several months in Florence over the years. I just love the city, the people, and the food. I think this apartment was priced fairly and it had everything we needed. You can pay more for more luxury, but who wants to spend all their time inside the place they stay? I would be perfectly happy to stay there again the next time I'm in Florence.
- Greg (10/5): Great location and a large comfortable apartment! - Owner was there to meet me right on time! A little noisy in bedroom at night.
- Richard (10/5): Comfortable stay, near the attractions - Just a short walk from the Uffizi, Cathedral and squares, but away from the tourist hordes. A few bars and restaurants nearby. Well equipped with stuff - TV, computer etc Unfortunately they didn't put elevators into convents in the 13th century - some steep steps.
- Sergei (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent apartments in the historical center of the city. Within walking distance from the apartments there is absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay. Overall rating - 10 points on absolutely all points. No negative impressions.
- Maurizio (10/5): Beautiful place in the perfect Location - Location is perfect, close to everything you'd want to see and experience in Florence. Place was very clean, comfortable and had everything you need during your stay. I will definitely book again!
- Adi (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is very well equipped with everything you need. It isl very close to restaurants and the main attractions
- Lucy (9/5): Superb - Very central location: 5 minutes walk from both Palazzo Vecchio and Basilica di Santa Croce, and only a block or 2 away from the riverside. Excellent amenities, with full kitchen (stove, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, etc) and washer, very convenient for longer stays. Bit of a squeeze for 3 people since the second bedroom is actually a wall bed setup in the den at the entrance to the unit. The stairs are quite steep and can be a challenge if you have large luggage.
- Michelle (10/5): great location - fabulous location and Leonardo was very helpful
- Karyn (8/5): Great location, excellent host, very helpful and obliging. -
- Teresa (9/5): Superb -
- Ashok (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gillian (10/5): Exceptional - Great location for seeing most of the attractions of Florence. Apartment had everything you could need and Leonardo was there to greet us when we arrived and came when we left. He gave us loads of information and was contactable if needed. Nothing
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joanne (10/5): We were three froends staying in Leonardo’s apartment- it was perfect for us, both in size and location. Leonardo was gr - A great, central location! Loved the property.
- Bethany (10/5): Leonardo’s place is in a great location. It was comfortable and had everything we needed, especially strong A/C on - Good location. Comfortable space. Communicative host. A little noisy late at night.
- Herbol (10/5): Exceptional - Leonardo is an awesome host. The apartment was beautiful, and the location could not be better . Right in the heart of the historic district . 5 minutes from the ufitzi gallery . We walked everywhere. The apartment is in a very old building from the 1300s. There is no elevator and quite a few steps. However, Leonardo met us and was happy to help bring our luggage up. He kept in touch leading up to the stay . All I can say is we had a wonderful experience. Nothing to dislike
- Narasimha (8/5): Very good -
- Mignnon (10/5): Felt like Home ... - Where can I start from? Leonardo, our Host was an amazing human being. He was in touch with me way before our check-in day providing the exact location, street, and how to get to the apartment. Upon arriving, Leo met us at the street and helped with our luggage etc and explained everything related to our stay. This Apartment made us feel like we are home. Ample of space for a Family of 4 - 5 Pax. We were 3 travelling together and all of us had our own beds. Every little detail related to your stay is printed in a book. Restaurant suggestions, places to visit, how to take a Taxi, how to dispose the garbage, how to operate the washing machine,etc. Every little detail was well thought of. Leo's Apartment is in the heart of Florence's historical area. Main attractions are from 1 minute to 20 minutes radar. I cannot emphasize how good our stay was and how well everything was arranged. We would like to thank Leo for making our Florence stay an exceptional one. Nothing. Simply nothing at all ..
- David (10/5): Perfect base for a few days in heart of Florence - Fantastic location and beautiful apartment. Leonardo gives the most information about every detail , and prompt and helpful communications Nothing about it though it’s in the thick of old Florence so some street noise can be expected especially in daytime but the street has the best food coffee and ice cream
- Silvana (10/5): Perfect location and apartment! - Leonardo was the perfect host. He met us at the apartment and helped us with our luggage upstairs. The apartment was clean and spacious and location was perfect.
- Laura (9/5): Beautiful, spacious apartment in the heart of a Florence! - Lovely friendly host greeted us earlier than planned so we could drop bags off and get exploring. The apartment was hugely spacious and had everything we could possibly need. The location was fantastic - was worried about it being noisy given where it was but it was surprisingly quiet. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we ever return 😊 We couldn't get the television to work but that didn't really impact our stay (the host kindly offer to come and take a look but we didn't feel it necessary). Also some parts of the apartment were a little dusty.
- Dallys (9/5): We had a fantastic three days in Florence and really enjoyed this wonderful home. - Great central location, walkable to all the sights. The unit was clean and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare simple meals. It was very roomy with a modern bathroom. Leonardo was very helpful on arrival. Nothing
- Susan (6/5): The location was great but the guest sleeping in the twin bed struggled to get good rest. - Very easy location in the heart of the city. The master bed was fine, but the twin bed was very uncomfortable. We would recommend this property for couples.
- Ana (10/5): Great location, great host! - The location is superb, the host was very friendly, the bed was comfortable. We were able to do late check out. They only had high pillows. They could have more pillow options, with low and high pillows
- Kira (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deanna (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location. It was noisy at night
- Misty (10/5): Excellent stay! - The location is great and the apartment met all of our needs. Communication was great and check-in was smooth. There was tons of information about the apartment, the appliances, the area, and recommendations which was greatly appreciated. Very minor- figuring out the light in the hallway was not intuitive so we had to do our first trip with our luggage in the dark. Also, for my American friends, the apartment says it is located on the second floor, but is what we would call the third floor. Not an issue for us but keep this in mind.
- Amy (10/5): Great stay in wonderful location. - We stayed four nights in this comfortable, spacious apartment. Our host, Leonardo, was very welcoming and responsive. He met us when we arrived and helped carry our luggage up the two flights of stairs. The apartment was clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Kitchen had everything we needed. We appreciated the microwave to heat up leftovers. Since no one was arriving on our departure day, we were able to leave our luggage until we left at noon. Location is great, a 20 minute walk from the train station. Very close to the Uffizi Gallery and the Palazzo Vecchio. Highly recommended!
- Aj (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephanie (10/5): Best location in foody heaven on Via dei Neri - The location can't be beat, but I would say an unexpected awesome aspect is that the windows are interior or in a shaded area which was ideal for the hot weather. We saw many apartments facing the sunny piazza which would be hot and loud. Also, the bedroom gets dark and the bed is comfortable. Great pillows. Amazing hot water heater for shower too. Nothing to dislike.
- Janet (10/5): Superb place to stay in Florence - Great location in heart of Florence - easy walk to all tourist sites and restaurants outside the front door. Very welcoming host. Very clean and unusually well equipped. WiFi full fibre speed and reliable. Comfortable bed. Best property we’ve had in Italy so far. Nothing
- Freek (10/5): Charming and comfortable! - We had a wonderful stay! Really a charming appartment, surrounded by restaurants and shops. Leonardo is a great host: accomodating and very friendly. There is a small kitchen with everything one needs to cook, a washing machine, and a functioning guitar. The airco was very comfortable during a heatwave in August. If we go back to Florence, we would definitly try to stay here again!
- Marek (10/5): Apartment in an old convent - Leonardo was a very friendly and helpful host. The apartment is spacious with all upgraded and modern facilities. Complimentary snacks and water were provided on arrival. Very well stocked. In the heart of the old town with lots of restaurants in the vicinity. One of the best apartments we have stayed in. Would definitely stay again. All was perfect
- Lok (8/5): Very good - Need to carry the luggage to go up via staircase and it is quite dark. The house is cozy
- Welch (10/5): It's all about location: this apartment is in a great location, and it IS a great location itself! - This apartment is all about location! First, it was built from what was originally a convent in the 1300s--you can still see some evidence of its original function. Second, it's right in the middle of Florence, very close to key attractions such as the Uffizzi Gallery and Ponto Vecchio, but not far from the Duomo or many other sites. The street is beautiful, and full of energy! We loved cracking open the door every morning to bright sunshine, happy people and a day full of Florence's gems. Finally, it is clean, well-maintained and well decorated, with some unique character and charm. Very spacious for two, or even two adults plus a small child or two. We really loved our stay here--this was the best of our accommodations on our Italy trip.
- Kay (9/5): I highly recommend this accommodation you will not be disappointed. Florence is a beautiful place to explore. - Very spacious and great air conditioning.
The kitchen had everything you needed.
The beds were really comfortable with plenty of extra sheets, pillows and duvets.
The accommodation was really clean.
It was great that extra plugs were provided to fit your phone chargers.
Very central to everything you needed to visit and see.
The host kept in communication with you and provided great directions to the accommodation. Nothing
- Tim (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location Nothing
- George (10/5): Exceptional - Leonardo very helpful
He carried our luggage from the station to the house.
The house is perfect in the heart of the city.
We will come again Nothing
- Karen (10/5): Beautiful well appointed property with a rich history in a great location. - The owner Leonardo met us promptly at the property and helped to carry our bags up the stairs. We found the property to be extremely clean and well appointed. It has a rich history and Leonardo has set it up very well and included a folder with lots of information about the property and the location. The property is quiet and had air-conditioning, the bedroom was a good size with a very comfortable bed. It is located in the heart of Florence and we had access to numerous restaurants and shopping! Leonardo left us with water and a few treats which were appreciated. When we left the property Leonardo also helped us to carry the bags back down the stairs and he walked us to a taxi rink! He is an amazing host with a beautiful property and we found that he really went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
- Eunyoung (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephen (9/5): great unit but stairs a little hard all the time - so close to everything
- Calin (10/5): Grazie Leonardo - Nothing but the best about this staying in Firenze. Location is extraordinary, closed (few hundred meters) from Ufizzi and Ponte Vecchio. Leonardo is a perfect host, he gave us all the information we need. Very spacious for an old building, clean, modern amenities în the bathroom, light in the bedroom, not noisy, although this apartment is closed of the center. Full of restaurants, shops, gelateria, etc. Strongly recommend. Grazie mille, Leonardo. Only thing I didn't like is that we left this place. But I hope we shall return in future.
- Marina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): Beautiful!! - This is a beautifully appointed, comfortable and charming apartment right in the heart of the historic district in Florence. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. The apartment has many amenities including an adorable kitchen, washing machine, hair dryer, and a heated towel rack. The host was highly communicative and helpful. He even stocked the kitchen with a few snacks, tea, water, and freeze dried coffee. We would definitely stay here again! There is nothing we didn’t like!
- Vasyl (10/5): Exceptional - Great apartment just in a few minutes to Uffizi. Located in the old town center. Facilities is great. The host is super friendly. Would stay again for sure.
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location, very clean apartment, and very carefully managed by the owner. So far the best premise I reserved on booking!
- Minseo (10/5): i would definitely want to stay here again - beautiful property, very cozy
the host was very friendly and welcoming
- Gnt (10/5): I would highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to visit Florence. - We were met and taken to the apartment exactly as we had arranged. The apartment is very suitable for up to three people and it was extremely clean. Great internet connection was very useful. We would be very happy to stay there again. The property was up three steep flights of stone steps but once there everything was great.
- Keith (8/5): Very good -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bridgetking (10/5): Lovely apartment in a perfect location - The location was perfect and the apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Leonardo was very helpful and accommodating. The fold-out bed was not so comfortable
- Tami (10/5): Exceptional - Great place. Very clean, very convenient. Very close to the main places Nothing. Everything was great
- David (10/5): Fantastic Fantastic Fantastic - All the items mentioned above, clean, central to everything, better than our expectations in every way. Could not have been happier. Nothing at all
