Guest Reviews

• Liza (10/5): Location and view from the terrace cannot be beat! - We were met by a member of the management team. He went through all of the property and explained the locks and answered our questions. The first time I tried to lock the door the knob fell off in my hand. The management team was back within ten minutes with a solution. The door/lock was fixed within 40 minutes and new keys delivered to me. We just went around the corner and had some Prosecco while the door was being fixed. I know these things happen and the management team worked quickly and efficiently so that not a minute of my vacation was wasted. The view on the terrace was incredible! This is why we rented the property and it didn't disappoint!
• Riccardo (10/5): -
• Sandra (10/5): wunderbarer Aufenthalt über den Dächern von Florenz mitten im Zentrum - die Lage der Wohnung und die Terrasse mit der Aussicht auf den Dom sind unübertreffbar. Für 7 Personen gross genug, dass man sich auch einmal zurückziehen kann. das Sofabett im Obergeschoss ist sehr durchgehangen und darum nur mässig bequem zu zweit. diejenigen Zimmer mit Fenster zu den Gassen können vor allem am Wochenende bis spät in die Nacht laut sein. Aber bei dieser zentralen Lage ist das nicht verwunderlich und wurde von uns gerne in Kauf genommen.
• simona helda (9/5): - Una posizione straordinaria
• KONSTANTINOS (8/5): -
• Anna (10/5): - В самом центре города, очень уютные, чистые, тёплые апартаменты. Вокруг много ресторанов и баров, где можно позавтракать. Все достопримечательности в пешей доступности. Мы очень довольны.
• Roberto (8/5): Bel soggiorno e ottimo immobile prezzo tutto sommato abbastanza corretto - Posizione molto buona appartamento accogliente e ampio, con vista, centralissimo, davvero bello il terrazzo Difficoltà di contatti con il gestore locale. In casa mancavano zucchero, totalmente assente, caffè e the
• John (10/5): Loved it! No complaints! - Everything!!! Staff Location Layout of apartment Spacious Elevator If I think of something I’ll let you know! lol
• Vitalii (9/5): - Excellent location and excellent terrasse with great view, spacious apartment to accommodate 7 people A bit too noisy but that’s the price to pay for the location and the view
• Dr. P (6/5): - Sehr gute Lage, mitten in Florenz Ausstattung der Ferienwohnung ließ zu wünschen übrig. Könnte mal renoviert werden.
• Alan (9/5): Great view and location with lots of rooms and stairs - The view and the layout of the property. The kitchen needs more basic equipment, utensils etc., such as glasses and cleaners like a pot scrubber.
• J (10/5): Perfect apartment to spread out in - Huge apartment off the main square down from the carousel. Not fancy by any means but clean and roomy. Great view from all windows. Really large balcony overlooking the duomo! Nothing
• Rainer (10/5): -
• Gary (7/5): -
• Christian (10/5): - Otroligt fin utsikt från takterassen.
• Olga (10/5): - Большой чистый апартамент с фантастическим видом. Это просто мечта .
• Amy (4/5): Poor communication from host. Dark and creepy. Great location tho. - Great location, very central. Keyless entry works really well. Very big place. Huge! Has an elevator. Need more lights. Felt creepy. Not clean, thick layer of dust. Furniture Very dated.Felt dirty. Beds were uncomfortable. Bed linens felt unclean. Host did not send check in instructions. I sent many messages with no response. Only got a response 1 hour before my arrival. I was sweating bullets the whole time. Worried I wouldn’t have a place to sleep since my train wouldn’t arrive until 8:00pm. Poor communication from host.
• Santiago (10/5): - Apartamento muy céntrico. Amplio. Hay que subir escaleras dentro del apartamento. El ascensor es antiguo y es fácil que se averíe.
• Veronica (10/5): Beautiful setting - Beautiful and in the center
• Janell (10/5): Exceptional - Everything about it was perfect
• Scott (10/5): Spacious, clean, wonderful views, and incredible location. - Spacious, clean, wonderful views, location, location, location! Plenty of room for a family of 7+.
• Predrag (10/5): Excellent - Location,apartment,balkon and view.
• Molly (10/5): Perfect renaissance vibes with world class roof. - It’s an incredible property! The roof is out of this world and the property is huge! It was absolutely perfect for 6 adults and 2 littles. Will definitely recommend to all. Nothing
• Ka (1/5): Bad - The apartment had three bathrooms. The first one on the top level had no water pressure. The second one suffered a dramatic leak to the downstairs neighbors every time we used it. The third bathroom again with very little water pressure… has a bathtub but takes over a hour to fill with hot water. We ended up filling the bathtub once and asking the four kids to reuse the water ! Perhaps as a result of the leak, we felt the neighbor might have started to get hostile with us as someone was banging on our front door on many occasions but when we answered there was nobody there. By our third day of stay, someone was also constantly pressing the intercom buzzer into our apartment to annoy us. During our stay, on New Year’s Day the property manager had brought several workmen into the place to investigate the bathroom leak. They were there for about an hour which was disruptive of our vacation as we were getting ready to go out to lunch booking. I would have thought that maintenance issues such as leaks and ensuring sufficient water pressures in the bathrooms should have been done before guests arrive not during their stay. When we mentioned the lack of water pressure, the manager said a plumber needs to be called….so the problem was never addressed during our stay. The area itself was very noisy during our stay throughout New Years celebrations.
• Madpoodle (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, walking distance from every important landmark. Huge apartment, it can easily fit 5-9 people
• Geraldine (10/5): Great accommodation with one of the best terrace views in Florence - The location and rooftop terrace make this apartment very special. Everything was perfect.
• Kathy (2/5): Awful,No water to shower,dirty bedding,many stairs inside,WIFI not working,freezing cold, - Just the location Everything was dirty with stains (blood stains on the mattress and urine stains on the comforter), and everything smelled. Nothing was provided (extra towels/shampoo/conditioner/soaps/trash cans or trash bags in the kitchen). The Internet was not working. Many many stairs inside the unit. Hauling large luggage ( coming from the state with large bags and just 3 women) very hard to haul them back and forth. They brought some towels and paper towels the next day but they said they could not get the WIFI working till Monday and we were leaving on Sunday:((( Every time we complained they said we could not do anything and you should go through the BOOKING.COM. When we asked for heater, they said until Nov they can not turn the heater on. Later they told us their AC can also blow hot air but the place is huge and did not do anything to warm up the rooms. It was the worst experience ever. On top of it, none of the showers worked and we only washed our bodies as the water would stop after a few seconds of use. So for the 3-day stay, we could not wash our hair either. All sinks were clogged and water would sit there for 30 min and was discussing. 2 of us out of 3 came home with a bad cold. Rooms were freezing at night (end of October). Overall they did not make the place liveable and to no one's standards.
• Kylie (10/5): Great Apartment, Great location. Enjoyed our stay here. - Great location, easy walking to everything. Fantastic City, the Rooftop balcony allowed us to enjoy Florence night music. Our family loved our stay here. The sofa bed in the upstairs area was a bit uncomfortable and squeaky, would be nice if it was an actual bed.
• Aris (8/5): Very good -
• Helen (7/5): Great location. Property tired and hot, could do with some care and could be fabulous - Location Terrace Size of apartment Air con units very ineffective Bedding for making up additional sofa beds to make sleeping more comfortable would have been appreciated to try and keep everyone cool. Very limited kitchen supplies - broken glasses and no cooking equipment Old and tired bathrooms with poor shower pressure
• Paul (8/5): Fantastic location, good price. Would book again. - Amazing location. Good price AC units didn't work great, but just enough to keep the heat manageable
• Maurizio (9/5): Highly recommended - Rooftop terrace, central location No comments
• Steffen (9/5): A great place to stay in Florence - Comfortable apartment including a spacious and very private roofterrace with great views to the cathedral and more. The location is right in the middle of Florence, from the bulding entrance you can actually see Piazza della Republica and the Column of Abundance marking the ancient Roman centre of the city. The building has a small elevator to the top floor. The two level apartment was very clean and the kitchen well-equipped. I would be happy to stay there again if coming back to Florence with a group of 6-7 people. If anything, the water pressure was not impressive. This is probably caused by a general shortage within the city itself more than a lack of attention by the owners. Be aware that two of the beds are not placed in bedrooms as such - exactly as written in the apartment description. However, all beds are in separate rooms. So, for most guests this should not be an issue.
• Anthony (10/5): Highly recommend. - The location is THE best in Florence, bar none. The view is that of movies and books. A few more basics in the kitchen. Not a big deal, as it is Florence, and well you want to eat out anyway.
• Tracy (1/5): BED BUGS -- DO NOT STAY HERE - The location was amazing, and the rooftop terrace view was gorgeous PLEASE DO NOT BOOK HERE UNTIL THEY RESOLVE THEIR BED BUG INFESTATION. We were initially thrilled with this rental, until I found bed bugs crawling across the bed the first night of our stay! Adult, adolescent, larvae, THE ENTIRE BED BUG LIFECYCLE LIVED IN THEIR SOFA BED. They were literally climbing the walls. It was DISGUSTING. I sent a message to the concierge at 1am that morning, and then followed up during business hours. I was promised a prompt refund and we left to find another accommodation (and a laundromat!!). It's now a week-plus later, they have stopped responding to myself or Booking.com, and I have received no refund. Booking.com is saying they can't issue a refund without the property approving it -- the property has listed me as a no-show and is refusing to respond to booking.com's phone calls and emails. This was the most expensive place we booked on our recent trip, and all we got was a couple good pictures, countless bed bug bites, and another hotel bill. Oh, not to mention all the money I spent at two separate laundromats trying to ensure we didn't bring the bed bugs with us. I understand that stuff happens, and that bed bugs are not the fault of the property, but the fact that there's no indication they're addressing the problem, and they didn't give us the refund they said they would and LIED to booking.com about our stay, makes me feel it necessary and my duty to warn folks considering this property. If you find bed bugs, they WILL NOT REFUND YOU, and apparently there is nothing that booking.com can OR WILL do. Proceed at your own risk.
• Karen (10/5): I definitely would stay here again - Great location, close to El Duomo and to the tram station. The view from the balcony is amazing. It is is a spacious apartment. We were a group of four but it easily accommodates more people. The service was also excellent as it was easy to-reach them and to communicate with them. I don’t have anything negative to say. Just remember since you are close to El Duomo you will listen to the bells early morning
• Sarah (9/5): Superb - Perfect location for reaching all main attractions by foot. Apartment is spacious and well laid out The upper terrace has amazing views and provides a lovely hang out area. We had an issue with the shower pressure during.our stay, the host was easy to communicate with and this was immediately fixed. For the price.you would expect some complimentary condiments to be included on arrival (coffee/tea) There is nothing provided.
• Eo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bertram (9/5): Great location, Superb terrace & Spacious! - DuomoSR is in the beautiful centre of Florence. We reached many top attractions in few minutes walking and there are plenty of good restaurants closeby. Really enjoyed the superb private terrace complemented with an internal living area both overlooking the Duomo - excellent for some relaxation over a nice glass of Chianti :) The interior is spacious and nicely warm having multiple living spaces, 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a kitchen. It was nice being given a tour of the place upon arrival. Low water pressure in the showers; Poor Internet reception in some areas; Rather soft mattress
• Al (9/5): Superb -
• Albert (7/5): Hidden gem right in the heart of Florence! - Perfect location right in the heart of Firenze! The rooftop terrace overlooking the Duomo was stunning. The only thing was that the water pressure in all showers was very low.
• Amanda (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (10/5): Amazing stay in a fabulous apartment. - Awesome. Huge apartment two blocks from the e Duomo with fabulous views from the rooftop terrace. Nothing.

• Eduardo (9/5): Superb -
• Juliet (9/5): beautiful terrace. it was a wonderful visit for the family’s first visit in Florence - location location location. terrace is exactly as depicted in the photos friendly staff - ants in the single room at top level (only) - not little kid/toddler friendly as part of the stairs has no railing - low water pressure
• Kayla (10/5): Best views and place to stay for a group - This apartment was exceptional. The proximity to things, the views, and the large spaces for a group all exceeded my expectations. If I ever go back to Florence, I am staying here. I cannot recommend this spot enough!!
• Anonymous (9/5): I would highly recommend this property to families or pair of couple’s, plenty to keep you occupied right on the door st - the location and the rooftop terrace are definitely its best qualities some of the furnishings and decor are a little dated, but everything was spotless the nights can get a little bit noisy from people walking the street but I wouldn’t hesitate to stop there again
