Guest Reviews
- Brigitte (8/5): - Giancarlo was very friendly and even invited us to his private club. The apartment was well equipped and very conveniently located in a quiet street, with just a few minutes walk from the centre. The apartment is very small and does not have blackout curtains
- Fernanda (6/5): A localização é muito boa, mas o local de tomar banho bem ruim. - A localização é excelente, 10 minutos andando até a estação de trem. Uma gelateria maravilhosa bem perto, restaurantes bons. Recebemos excelentes dicas dos anfitriões, que foram sempre muito atenciosos em todos os nossos questionamentos. Quando chegamos tinha água , chá e cápsulas de café a nossa disposição. O espaço para tomar banho é muitoooooo pequeno, e eu não estou exagerando. Impossível tomar um banho confortável, pois vc pode encostar no registro de água e fechar e chuveiro, o que faz com que a água demore um pouco para aquecer. A iluminação do quarto não é boa, os travesseiros também não são.
- Williams (10/5): perfect for 3 nights exploring Florence in best neighborhood - perfect location - loved it weak wifi
- Eva (8/5): - Bra läge.
- Roswitha (8/5): -
- Saba (9/5): - Good location, well-equipped compared to the space it had. It's kinda smaller than expected, at least it felt smaller than it looked in the pictures, might have been pictures mixed-up as I remember seen some different pictures when booking.
- YUOU (8/5): 很佛罗伦萨风格 - 房东品味很好,及时回复我的问题,并提供周边配套设施介绍 房间面积小
- Thomaz (10/5): Excelente acomodação para 5 pessoas - Localização excelente. Apartamento absolutamente limpo, com ótimas instalações e diversas comodidades (toalhas, máquina de café e de lavar roupa). Cindy e Giancarlo foram super simpáticos e nos auxiliaram sempre que necessário. Check-in tranquilo e bem explicado. No geral, experiência perfeita para 5 pessoas em uma cidade deslumbrante, super recomendado.

- Izabella (10/5): -
- Nancy (10/5): We would highly recommend this property for your stay in Florence. - VERY Comfortable residence!
The beds were very nice, the owners stocked it with everything we needed. The bathroom lights could have been brighter.

- Alexandra (10/5): Εξαιρετική. - Πεντακάθαρα και οργανωμένα με παροχές αρκετές !
- Akhizarova (10/5): Great! - We had a lovely stay in Florence. The apartment is small, but very cozy, well-organized, and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable visit. The location was also great: about a 15-minute walk from the central station, in a quiet neighborhood with many charming and delicious restaurants nearby. The hosts were very caring and responsive throughout our stay. They helped us with arranging a taxi, organizing luggage storage, and were always available whenever we needed anything. It was a very comfortable and pleasant experience, and we would definitely recommend this place to others.
- Adan (9/5): - Everything.
The location, the staff was very attentive to give recommendations and to all your needs, and the apartment has everything you need to make your stay comfortable.
It's a 5-10 minute walk from the center, and if you don't feel like walking, there's tons of delicious trattorias in the neighborhood. Internet comes and goes every 5-10 minutes (probably a faulty modem?).
But technically that's not something the owner can be blamed about.
- Katrin (9/5): schöner Aufenthalt in guter Wohnung mit toller Lage - versteckte und große Wohnung am linken Arno-Ufer, sehr gut gelegen um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten in 15 - 20 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Sehr bemühte Vermieter mit vielen hilfreichen Tipps und der tollen Möglichkeit die private Garage zu mieten. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Wohnung uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. es gab mehrfach Stromausfall, wofür der Vermieter ja nichts kann, aber da die Wohnung in sich dunkel ist, war es dann auch am Tag dunkel...
- Giuseppe (9/5): Tre giorni a Firenze - Ottima posizione. Ideale per visitare la città. Non ho appunti da fare.
- Elisa (9/5): -
- Blanca (10/5): -
- linda (10/5): Fuga di una notte! - C'era tutto il necessario, ho gradito molto l'acqua nel frigorifero e tutti i prodotti in bagno. Camera accogliente, servizio impeccabile, ottimi consigli. Unica pecca la luce al mattino. Non siamo stati in grado di chiudere le imposte, sembrava proprio non ci fossero e la mattina ci siamo svegliati prima del previsto per via della luce. Consiglio di segnalarlo così chi sa di esserne infastidito, può portarsi la mascherina. Nulla di grave comunque.

- Maria Antonietta (8/5): Firenze è straordinaria e compensa lo spazio piccolo - Ottima organizer ,spazio limitato. Ambiente troppo concentrato
- Rachele (10/5): - Tutto molto bene.
- Stefano (9/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): Alojamiento bonito, cuidado, limpio y muy bien ubicado - Ubicación muy buena, alojamiento bien cuidado y limpio, tenía todo lo necesario para unos días. Ademas tiene su encanto en los detalles. Personal muy atento. Todo muy bien!
- Patrizia (10/5): Grazie Gianca! - La gentilezza e la disponibiità del signor Giancarlo.Abbiamo potuto parcheggiare l'auto nel suo garage e ci ha quindi accompagnate con la sua auto all'appartamento situato in un quartiere tranquillo,ma vicino alle principali attrazioni. Nulla!
- Yelyzaveta (8/5): -
- Jovi69 (10/5): Beautiful spacious apartment and great location. -
- Ana María (6/5): - Ubicación, cerca pero no en el mismo centro. Está bastante equipado con lavadora, menaje etc. El tamaño. Limpieza. Limpio lo justo, como se suele decir, lo que ve la suegra. Polvo por todos lados. Y el suelo negro. Al niño le tenía una muda solo para estar allí, no podía ni salir ni acostarlo con esa ropa de lo.negra que estaba. Las chanclas con suela blanca, terminaron negras. Deben mejorar esto bastante. Me lo esperaba mucho mejor dado el precio y la buena puntuación en Booking.
- Tania War (9/5): Bella casetta - La Casetta è molto accogliente e ben fornita in una zona super servita oltre il fiume La connessione wifi.. purtroppo non prende bene Fastweb in zona e la connessione wifi è necessaria
- yan (9/5): 不错的体验。 - 套型合理,配置齐全 灯光亮度提高,如果增加微波炉更佳。Wi-Fi的速度。
- bruna (9/5): - Apartamento aconchegante e bem localizado. É possível ver o cuidados em vários detalhes, pois quando chegamos tinha chá, cafeteira com cápsulas para uso, chinelos para usar em casa.
Estávamos em 5 adultos, uma criança e um bebê e ficamos muito confortáveis.

- Bena (10/5): - Gera lokacija. Švarūs, tvarkingi apartamentai. Buvo visko ko reikia kelių dienų viešnagei. Malonus ir paslaugus šeimininkas. Apartamentuose yra Florencijos žemėlapis su lankytinomis vietomis. Grįžtume dar kartą
- Nicole (9/5): - Wonderful location, bigger than expected, and had everything we needed. Owners are very kind with easy communication and check-in; I left something in one of the rooms after leaving and they were on it to find and send back to me.
- Thomas (9/5): Perfect location to discover Firenze - - Perfect location to discover Firenze, as it's just outside the ZTL
- With a little bit of driving around, you will find a parking spot
- The area is quiet, but still there are good bakeries and restaurants around (e.g. Pasticceria Buonamici, Ristorante La Salmoneria,...)
- Two bedrooms with two separate baths were pretty convenient
- Pet friendly, our dog enjoyed the stay - Less is more: I know there is plenty to tell, but I felt too much confronted with texts via WhatsApp. It used to be less a few years ago and I don't want to spend time on the phone.
- Brendan (9/5): -
- Natasha (9/5): - Lots of helpful amenities like shampoo, slippers and power adapters.
- Susan (8/5): Quiet and spacious apartment in the heart of the Oltrano area - Being in the Oltrarno area, it was a great place to base ourselves to easily walk around Florence, while tucked away from the busy areas it was close to lots of great “locals” restaurants. The apartment had a lovely rustic feel and plenty of space and we appreciated having a kitchen and laundry. We hired a car for a couple of days so it was good to have easy street parking nearby. The host was super helpful too. The bed could have been a bit more comfortable. It was fine for a few nights, but after a while we longed for a bit more comfort.
- Gladysh (9/5): В общем рекомендую бронировать эти апартаменты! - Место расположения отличное. Ходили пешком ко всем туристическим объектам. Рядом находится очень хороший ресторанчик. Квартира очень итальянская. Два сан.узла. Хозяева были добры и разрешили выехать позже, чем написано в правилах. За это мы им были очень благодарны. Есть все необходимое. Даже заботливо предоставили капсулы для кофе машины, чай, сахар и специи для приготовления еды. Довольно простое поселение. Вход в подъезд и в квартиру по коду. Что очень удобно. Не смотря на освежители воздуха, чувствовался запах сырости в санузле. Этажом ниже у соседей терраса, на которой они активно отдыхали и вели себя довольно шумно, каждый вечер.
- Caroline (10/5): - Beautiful apartment, very spacious. Very clean. Fantastic location, could easily walk to all tourist destinations.
- Amberly (10/5): -
- Evgeniya (8/5): Authentic welcoming appartment within a brisk walk to the city center - The host was super friendly and helpful. We got all the necessary details including best guide to parking options, that was very helpful!
Strong stable wifi.
Very authentic apartment with wooden ceilings.
Had all necessary items like plenty of spare toilet paper, kitchen paper towels, mosquito plugs, shower gels and wash powder. Having a pair of scissors would be nice.
There is no dishwasher, so dishes must have been washed by the previous guests and were not checked. We had to pre-wash most.
- VERONIKA NEMRAVOVÁ (9/5): -
- Emma (7/5): - The room was super cozy! Easy to get in and out and very secure. Provided a lot of amenities. But overall a very comfortable stay! Room was a little small, there wasn’t a lot of space for our suitcases. The shower was also quite small.
- Anna (9/5): -
- Sangaletti (10/5): Appartamento accogliente appena fuori dalla ztl, curato e funzionale sotto ogni aspetto. Posizione non centralissima ma - Pulita e funzionale Scarsa illuminazione negli ambienti
- Annemarie (9/5): - Sehr schönes Apartment mit toller Lage.
- TwinklyOne (10/5): Great apartment and Exceptional host! - I have to mention the exceptional hospitality of our host Cindy. We were in a really challenging situation and Cindy went beyond "above and beyond" to help us out. Thank you so much for all your help, Cindy 🙏🏽.
The apartment itself was fantastic, well located, good sized rooms, good bathrooms and kitchen. All items were provided: sheets, pillows, kitchen appliances, etc.
I would highly recommend this place to anybody.
- Sophie (10/5): Great - Great property with the easiest check in. A short walk into the centre but plenty going on even just outside of the apartment.
- Göktuğ Kaan (10/5): Mükemmel - Her şey çok iyi düşünülmüş, tüm ihtiyaçlarımızı karşıladı. Ev sabini de çok nazik ve yardımsever birisiydi.
- Jana (9/5): - Spacious apartment, close to the center. The shower in one of the bathrooms was not cleaned properly (hair in the drain), other than that everything was good.
- Elisabeta (10/5): -
- Daniel (9/5): Quick 2 night stay in Florence. Location was a short walk or bus to anything we needed to see - Giancarlo was an amazing host! He met us when we last minute booked, helped with luggage and even helped me find parking for my large SUV. Everything was as expected.
- Marnel (10/5): Exceptional - The room was nice and comfortable. Checkin was easy and the location of the property is great
- Eraldo (9/5): Superb -
- Nikitha (10/5): Great value - We booked this room for the value so as expected the furnishing is modest and small but very clean and comfortable! There is AC which we enjoyed. The real gem of the stay was the kind host Giancarlo who met us at check-in, helped us find parking in busy Florence, helped us figure out payment, and took my bags to the room. We appreciated his help very much! No negatives, but a few things to note. There is a flight of stairs up to the room. There is a very small closet to leave bags after check-out but will not fit two 50-lb roller suitcases.
- Katerina (10/5): Amazing stay with great hosts! - The property is very nice and it has a retro italian vibe! It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms which is very useful and practical! The hosts were extremely helpful and I cannot thank them enough! -
- Varvara (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, close to everything but not crowded, the hosts were amazing and helpful
- Freya (10/5): Loved our stay here and would book again! - Great location, quiet, clean. Loved the extra touch of ingredients for a Campari spritz in the fridge too!
- Reid (9/5): Superb - Convenience and very helpful, friendly owner. He had pur so manny little extras in the room for us. Nothing.
- Marcia (8/5): Loved the location-appreciated being just outside the noisy activity. - Great location. All 4 of our kids had their own bed. 2 bathrooms were a bonus. Clean. Note this apartment is on first floor, not ground floor. That caused a tiny bit of initial confusion. I found the bed quite stiff, my husband appreciated the firm mattress.
- Mark (10/5): Convenient location, nice apartment with thoughtful host. - A great location, just south of the river, so a little away from the tourist throngs, but just a 15 minute walk to the station, 25 minutes to the Duomo. We walked across the Ponte Vechhio many times to get to the old town, which was great. Easy walk to the Uffizi and the Pitti Palace. This apartment is in an old building, so the layout reflects that. The two bedrooms each had an ensuite bathroom, one is spacious the other petite, but with a very fancy shower! A personal welcome at check-in from the host and there were many amenities provided - bottles of water, some drinks, coffee & tea, box of tissues etc - really nice touches. We were also allowed to store our bags in the apartment after checking out, as this worked with the timing for the next arrival - again a nice touch. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment. A very good value cafe for breakfast just round the corner - Caffe Surace on Via Sant Onofrio. Through the gate in the city wall is a nice square with a lovely little restaurant/bar with an enthusiastic host lo Schiaccia Vinto. Here we had the Florence speciality cows stomach bun.
- Luciano (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tara (7/5): A well located unit in a lively area - Great location with lots of cafe restaurants in walking distance.
It’s 20 min walk to sites.
Has fridge and kettle Shower very small
2 flights of stairs
- Suzanne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wojciech (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sushant (9/5): Comfortable, Cozy and Affordable Stay - Comfortable, Cozy and Affordable Stay Toilet placing a bit odd
- Williams (10/5): Hated leaving this place! - Great location and very spacious! Property had all the amenities you would need and the owner was very helpful Loved the place and would stay there again
- Aleksandra (9/5): Superb - The room had everything we needed, even more than what we expected. The localisation is great and the host did everything he could to accommodate us.
- Georgia (8/5): Great, quiet location at Oltrarno, comfortable apartment -
- Eric (10/5): Excellent communication and easy to work with - Located within 30 minutes walking distance to all sites The shower is quite small, but on par with many European showers
- Eber (9/5): Great - Close to the train The hostess
- Leah (10/5): Exactly what we wanted. Clean, quiet, and safe. - In a quiet neighborhood, coded entry, felt safe and secure. The shower is very small, but not uncommon in Italy. Wish there was a shelf or something to put your shower products because you cannot bend over in the shower to get the stuff on the floor without opening the doors and squatting down isn’t very comfortable.
- Aldo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Diane (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and very spacious!
- Ronnie (9/5): Good value in a quiet neighbourhood - - Two bathrooms with showers and toilets are great when travelling with children
- Host was kind enough to leave us some drinks and snacks
- They even had plug adapters!
- Quiet neighbourhood
- Nice park with playground a few minutes away
- Many good food options of all types (pizza, pasta, gelato, etc) within a 10 minute walk - Water temperature of showers fluctuated often
- Lacks a little bit of natural light
- Floors were very dirty, had to mop twice to clean it
- Lisa (9/5): Cute little clean apartment in a side street with extras like coffee maschine and toaster. - Great location with many fantastic trattorias nearby in walking distance. Clean, soft towels, comfy bed The small lights were not very cosy - would prefer something more classic, but that’s just something I am a bit particular about…
House door closing noise is very loud - always be heard while sleeping
- Elif (10/5): Exceptional - Thank you for everything, definitely the best place to stay in Florence!!
- Paul (10/5): Fabulous - Excellent location and excellent hosts All good
- Alain (10/5): Exceptional -
- Amanda (8/5): Very good - The location was great. Lots of lovely restaurants nearby, so popular you need to book!! The accommodation was ok. It was clean and had a comfortable bed, but it desperately needed more light. The bedroom was so dark we couldn't even read.
- Deborah (8/5): We loved the convenience, the Oltrarno district, the helpful host! - The location was fine if you like to walk! Close to river, close to city center, lots of nice little cafes and bars and bakeries nearby. Giancarlo was a super helpful host. Loved the coffee pods in the room. The room was smaller than we expected, but not a real problem. The shower stall has a little mold on the floor track but I forgot to mention it to Gianni
- Franziska (9/5): Superb - The apartment and the location are great. But above all the hosts are absolutely lovely and helpful and accommodated all our crazy inquiries. So nice. I would definitely come back!!!
- Maria (9/5): Superb - We have a great stay in the Appartamento San Giovanni. The hosts are very nice and friendly. They gave us useful tips on restaurants nearby. The check-in and checkout process were very smooth.
The apartment is located in the old district of Florence, but further from the tourist route. As already mentioned in the previous review, it is possible to walk from the main train station, but if there are people in your group for whom this is difficult, there is a bus stop 4-5 minutes from the apartment (tickets can be bought at tobacco shops).
The apartment has all the amenities needed to have a comfortable stay. (Stove, oven, washing machine, air conditioning, heating, dishes, etc.)
The apartment has two bathrooms. In one bedroom the bathroom is quite small but given that the apartment is in a historical building, this is understandable.
Thanks a lot for a great stay in your beautiful city!
- Timothy (9/5): Superb - I love the location. Every time I come to Florence (2x a year), I always try to find a place in this area of Florence. It’s close to the train station (15 minute walk), and much more quiet than the historic centre. The contactless check-in is also a huge bonus especially since my flight was delayed in Rome and I arrived much later than expected. Staff was also very accommodating of check-out times. I had made several requests prior to arriving and staff was very accommodating of my requests. The space was a lot smaller than I could have wrapped my head around, judging from the post. I was in Florence for work and really only used the space for sleeping. I’m 6’1” and showering was a challenge as I couldn’t move around without banging my arm or leg on the shower walls. Also, considering my height, I had to sleep diagonally so that my feet wouldn’t dangle off the edge of the mattress. However, if the bed was any bigger the space would become a lot more limited in livable space.
- Marina (10/5): Exceptional - The host is the best ever. They gave us lots of tips about what to visit and where to eat, really good communication and easy to reach.
The apartment is located in a nice less touristic neighborhood, but still close to Pasticerie, pizzerie, local shops and restaurants.
We were really happy about our stay, and would definitely book it again.
Thank you again, Cindy and Giancarlo! -
- Martin (8/5): Very good -
- Nancy (10/5): Great host, convenient and comfortable apartment, very central location. - This is an apartment in an older building so there were some stairs. Giancarlo met us at the door even though it took longer for us to get there than we calculated. He is great - very friendly, accommodating and helpful with recommendations. The apartment was good sized, the wi-fi worked great and the bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy. The bed in the second bedroom could have been a bit more comfortable and we could have used more towels in the bathrooms. The kitchen had a variety of cooking utensils, plenty of wine/drinking glasses, but we couldn't find any dishes.
- Kamecz (10/5): Stay and enjoy like the locals in Firenze. - The Apartmant is close to every attractions museums and main sightseeing monuments (all is in walking distance) Ponte vecchio 5 mins nice walk! It was really comfortable for the 6 of us. It felt like we are at home. You dont need to bring anything just your toothbrush and yourself 🤣🥰 the hosts were really helpful and nice to us , felt like a family member you can trust! They were concerned so we can have a good time while we were there! All in all, we hope to get back there again and explore Firenze even morr. We wish the hosts only the best and recommend other guests/tourists to choose this apartment because it really makes you feel like you are a local in Firenze! 🥰😘 Cannot mention any!
- Gerard (9/5): Excellent location. Ideal for a short stay. - The apartment had everything we needed for the 2 nights we were there. Helpful host. Excellent location. Quite a small room.
- Devon (8/5): Very good -
