Guest Reviews

• Ukasha (9/5): -
• Mourad (10/5): -
• Sude (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lynn (7/5): Good - The apartment was very large and plenty of room for our family of parents, grandparents and 2 small children to spread out and have some privacy. Unfortunately, the heating was not working when we checked in, but was immediately repaired. It was quite cold for the first 12 hours or so, but warmed up nicely. We appreciated the prompt response! The view is beautiful and the location was perfect. You must be able to walk up 70 steps to the apartment, so do not rent if you are expecting an elevator. we really enjoyed our stay here, overall. Some maintenance is needed. The espresso machine quit working and the dishwasher did not clean well. We hand washed the dishes because of all the gritty deposits. The bedside lamps need to be repaired. Also, the lights above the counter in the kitchen do not work. noted above
• Seth (7/5): Good - Great location and very comfortable. Could use some basic kitchen supplies, garbage instructions were useless, refrigerator didn’t work great - froze at the back.
• Benoit (2/5): Run down, not clean, no service. - The location and architecture are excellent but the apartment is not well maintained and the guests are abandoned to themselves. No service. Broken fridge and freezer, noticed by the greeter when we arrived, never repaired. Broken fixtures, bar handle, remote control, a cockroach and we kept being bitten, perhaps fleas. We complained but nothing was fixed, no answer, no service. Our worst experience on Bookings. I would not recommend.
• Clare (8/5): Very good -
• Rhaina (10/5): Fantastic group stay in spacious well located penthouse. - Spacious and well appointed. Our greeter Melanie was excellent and provided great communication via what’s app. Tons of stairs, but we knew that when we booked and it was worth the climb.
• Fay (5/5): Bad memories! - Great location. Very close to the center. The house is beautiful. But we had problems on the first day we arrived. One of the bathrooms in the house is in the attic, which is very strange in design. There was a beam in the room, which had to be bent over every time, and on the beam was a large mirror, which was not properly fastened at all. Fell on my shoulder as we were going through the measurements... The glass pricked my shoulder! I reached out to the owner. No response. I contacted again two days later. The reply was that they would investigate and told me to wait. No one responded until we left in six days later. I have to contact them again . And they asked me the picture about what happened when the mirror fell down on my shoulder ,Who takes pictures and videos of themselves when they get hit? I told them what happened, and they said I touched the mirror, so it's not their business. Very funny! I need to give them a 0 for service. Do not return my deposit, do not reply to the message! Service!
• Екатерина (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sampieri (8/5): Very good - Very attractive modern and clean. Location was excellent. Right there where all the attractions are. The stairs
• Richard (10/5): Perfect apartment in convenient location - The apartment was beautifully decorated & very comfortable; sunset is incredible from the top floor; beds were comfortable & great luggage storage; air conditioning; high pressure showers; laundry facilities; a short walk to the Duomo; very quiet The stairs were tiring - but the apartment is worth it
• Tam (10/5): A stylish, well-located apartment minutes from the Duomo. - This is a beautiful, stylish apartment. We loved the mezzanine level bathroom and the duplex level bedroom and the snug reading area under the stairs.. The kitchen is well equipped and the view over the Piazza della SS Anunziata (as seen in the movie A Room with A View) is wonderful. There are three flights of stairs to this top floor apartment, but even if you are unfit, they are manageable and worth it for the view. Your Booking.com reservation goes through to another party so be prepared for more communication with them.
• Olga (7/5): It’s ok but I expected more - Location Wi-Fi connection The apartment is on the 3rd floor with stair only - it’s very difficult to bring the luggage upstairs The communication with the apartment team was a bit unclear
• Benjamin (9/5): Superb - So many stairs to get up to the apartment
• William (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, you get a great view of the Duomo upon exiting the square this apartment is connected to. Accademia is literally behind the property. There was a music festival in the square when we visited so we got some free entertainment from our window. Very spacious location, comfortable sitting room. NA
• Tao (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melwyn (7/5): Good - The early check in with leandro. He was very nice The cleanliness was sub par No sheets for the sofa bed
• Jeffrey (7/5): Good - Great location to the Duomo and historical sites. Communication with the host was very difficult and slow. We still have unanswered questions that we sent the host during the stay. Water pressure in the upstairs bathroom was low.
• Mona (10/5): Excellent stay and can’t wait to visit Florence again! - The location down the street from the Duomo was convenient. There were many wonderful restaurants within walking distance .
• Sriram (8/5): Except for the climb up the 3 stairs, the stay is very comfortable. Location is perfect. - Perfect Location The Climb up three stairs
• Dragana (8/5): Very good -
• Eftychia (9/5): Superb -
• Kris (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vincent (7/5): Good - Perfect location close to city historical center Bad communication with host in England. No answer to my request about heating the appartment. It was very cold.
• Laura (9/5): Spacious apartment close to center - Beautiful place located in a very central area.
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was spacious and very comfortable. It was in walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go.
• Joanne (9/5): A great place to stay for our family of five. - We loved the property and its location. The administration processes from the time of booking until arrival. Out of 11 properties that we booked for our 6 week Europe trip this property was an outlier with respect to its administration processes. We were not expecting to enjoy our stay because of this, but it turned out to be ok and we liked our stay in the property. The property greeter was lovely and very helpful.
• Lisa (9/5): Superb -
• Cosmin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Janelene (10/5): Doamond in the heart of Florence - Best location. It is near to alot of attractions. Near the market which is lovely! The place is so spacious! The house is soundproof. Wifi is fast. Basic amenities are there! Staff are very responsive Daniela and Tomasso was great! I hope you will maintain the apartment well. It is a diamond for anyone on holiday if the place will be well look after.😊 If we will be back in Florence then definitely this is the place! The apartment is @ the third floor---only stairs. (we are tolerant but after a whole day walk it is very difficult to climb up😅)We can't do anything about it so it is not recommended for those who have difficulty climbing the stairs but if you are fit then go for it. The place needs more love and care some areas are abit dusty(we understand the big area to clean but some guest are very sensitive to dust wifey keeps sneezing during the whole stay). The first bedroom- there are quite a few mosquitoes at the back. We did not open the windows since we get there so they are there already(behind the closet--it is quite dark there--might benefit with mosqiuto spray for the whole house or dark areas). Nonetheless all is good. These are just some things that you can improve on.
• Gigi (9/5): perfect location and beautiful space - the location is fantastic, the piazza is busy and noisy but the windows cut the noise. Beautiful roomie apartment, well appointed. The communication was great when they needed information from me but I could not get anyone to respond to me when trying to check in- after trying multiple times by phone, email and text.
• James (8/5): We had a great time in Florence- location of the apartment was great. Overall it was excellent. - We had 6 people in the reservation - coffee maker suitable for one cup at at time. This should be adjusted. There was no soap for the dishwasher - provide one or two tabs depending on the length of stay. I had a lot of emails requesting information about my arrival and we still had to wait for the fella- maybe a lockbox would be better?
• Laura (10/5): we loved this place and would stay again in a heartbeat. - we loved this place. the decor was fantastic and we had plenty of space to spread out. the location is excellent and we loved the plaza. it was close to duomo, but quiet and away from the crowds. great bakery and cafés nearby. loved the views. the flights upstairs were steep, but still worth it.
• Nan (9/5): Superb -
• Dinesh (5/5): Passable - Well designed property with excellent location. Standard Check out time for any property is 12:00pm. This property had a check out time of 10:00am which was an inconvenience. Inspite of several requests there was no accommodation given for a 12:00pm check out. Property does not have an elevator, so not suitable if one has to carry luggage up the stairs.
• Marcello (9/5): Great location, wonderful apartment in the center of Florence with inconvenient check in. - Location cannot be beat. It is close to everything The piazza is a landmark. The apartment is spacious and cozy. Two bathrooms and laundry! Great for a family of four. Check in was strange. I was offered early check in, seemed nice, but there is a 10 euro fee for one hour early. When we checked in at the planned time the host was away checking someone else in at another location. We had to wait 45 mins to get in. Plus the host had another group waiting at a third location for the same time. Check-in also asked to take pictures of everything in the apartment to document any potential damage. Seemed excessive and a bit off putting to make sure we don’t damage anything.
