Guest Reviews

• Melek (10/5): This is the best apartment with the amazing host - Very central, spacious, giving home feeling, everything needed is there, and the host is incredible, she is the best host I’ve ever met.
• Ornella (9/5): Logement avec un emplacement idéal pour visiter Florence - Le logement est idéalement situé Avec plein de petites attentions de la part de Silvia Silvia nous a fait un accueil chaleureux et s’est rendue disponible chaque fois que nécessaire. Cela ne nous a pas gêné mais je tiens à préciser que le logement est au 4eme étage sans ascenseur et les escaliers sont raides. La taille du second lit qui ne convient pas pour 2 personnes. Il y a un clic clac dans le salon mais moins confortable.
• Alice (10/5): Excellent - L'emplacement dans une rue calme mais proche du centre était idéal. Silvia nous a accueillis très chaleureusement avec beaucoup de recommandations. L'appartement est propre, bien équipé et avec tous les produits de base (café, sel, poivre, savon,...) et il est très charmant.
• fernanda (10/5): Sentindo-se em casa em Florença - Acomodação muito fofa e muito bem localizada. Os detalhes do apartamento fazem toda diferença. Silvia nos recebeu muito bem, muito simpática e atenciosa com tudo. Deixou até um vinho e um espumante porque estávamos comemorando meus 40 anos. É no 4o andar sem elevador, mas estávamos bem condicionados e não foi um grande problema. Além de estar muito bem avisado no anúncio.
• Marie-Ange (9/5): Très agréable séjour - Sa situation très centrale, idéale pour visiter Florence
• Mercedes (9/5): - La ubicacion y la equipacion Que no haya ascensor
• Choi (10/5): - 정말 친절하신 주인아주머니 오래된 건물인점을 생각하면 실내가 정말 잘 꾸며져 있다
• Corinne (9/5): Idéalement situé - Appartement idéalement situé pour visiter Florence à pieds. Sylvia est très accueillante. Beaucoup de choses mises à disposition (thé, café, gâteaux, huile etc...) ce qui est vraiment appréciable. Les 4 étages sans ascenseur ne conviennent pas à tout le monde. Il ne faut pas être trop grand pour aller sous la douche
• Joanne (10/5): - Stayed for 2 nights as a family with 2 teenage children. Beautiful apartment, very unique in comparison to all our other places we stayed during this holiday. So homely and cosy, with stunning views out of windows. We were able to utilise the sofa bed so both children had separate areas to sleep. The host was incredible, met us on arrival, gave us great recommendations for dining, drinking, shopping and places to visit. Left us with a bottle of wine and biscuits which were both delicious and a very kind gesture. The location is fantastic and really easy to walk to from the train station. Would definitely stay again. Nothing
• Robert (10/5): -
• Teodora (10/5): -
• Theofanis (9/5): Superb - Close to city center and easy to find breakfast. If you have big luggage its difficult because is on the 4th floor without elevator
• Kieran (8/5): Lovely modern apartment in an old building in a great location. Excellent host. - Lovely, well equipped, spacious apartment. Lovely host that gave us a complimentary bottle of wine and a great overview of Florence; where to go, where to eat etc. Apartment has been renovated to a very high standard with aircon and the kitchen is fully equipped. I think this would be comfortable both summer and winter. Location is great, near train station and ideally located for seeing Florence Like everyone else has said...the stairs. I would not recommend this apartment if you are elderly, or have difficulty climbing what is a steep old staircase. The block is an old heritage building and the stairs are steeper than what would be built today. Equally, not recommended if you have young kids or if you have to lift a buggy or similar up and down everytime you enter and leave. A washing machine would also be good for extended stays.
• Terri (10/5): Overall I had a great stay. - Very charming place. Clean and great location. No elevator. The apartment is at the last floor. Hard to go up and down with luggages.
• Johnson (10/5): A great place to stay in Florence - Silvia, was just so lovely, and very welcoming on our arrival. She provided us with lots of suggestions and information. The apartment is in a great position, it is very clean and comfortable, with lots of little homey details and the air conditioner works well extremely important on those hot summer days. I would highly recommend this spot. Thankyou Silvia
• Chantelle (10/5): Lovely apartment with an amazing host! - Silvia met us at the apartment as she was kind enough to let us & our family leave our suitcases at her apartment whilst she was busy cleaning it from the previous guests. She absolutely spoilt us with a bottle of wine, amazing chocolate snacks & a home that is set up for comfort with small little extra touches everywhere. Both rooms are very comfortable as are the beds & pillows. There is extra bedding if needed & the couch in the lounge also extends into a bed. She has a lovely cute kitchen with sauces & milk, spices, a beautiful holder with a wide variety of tea bags, enough coffee for my husband to drink every day. We bought some extra groceries to make breakfast with in the morning. In the kitchen/lounge is a small dining room table that can expand, with soft lights you can switch on in the lounge & bathroom to find your way at night. I loved the bathroom, especially the little alcove for the shower! She has netting on the windows to prevent mosquitos from coming in. There is also enough hot water for both of us to shower in, just dont open another tap while someone is in the shower else they will get some cold water on their body! Silvia is a great host, she is German & super friendly & helpful, she had little notes on a pinboard of good restaurants, grocery store, gelato shops etc. Yes, when you read the reviews you will find out there are a HUGE number of tight winding stairs to the top. We knew this upfront but i did forget this as we came 3 months after the booking. my husband & i travelled with backpacks but our family had suitcases they left there for the day. I can confirm it is a bit steep with suitcases & probably 5 flights so you need some strong arms to get it to the top. However it is well worth the effort as the home is so nice. Ps-it is very quiet with only occasionally hearing some of the guests leaving the restaurant next door on a weekend. Nothing
• Elaina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adam (10/5): Amazing apartment so close to everything you need. Silvia was an - Silvia was an amazing host who met us at the property and gave us recommendations for restaurants and local attractions as well as some history of the area. No lift, but noting the age of the apartment and its location it is to be expected.
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Felt like we were home. Had everything we needed or wanted. Plenty of everything, including cooking gear, olive oil, salt, pepper. Recommendations. Lovely rooftop views. Very welcoming host. In some place we never even saw the host. The absolutely only negative was that we had to climb 72 steep stairs. Not much fun with heavy luggage.
• Anna (10/5): We enjoy this place! Super nice! - It was very nice to stay here! Super location, the best stuff, very clean. Nice view - we saw Duomo from one bedroom. Kitchen is fully completed - also coffee was here! We enjoy our stay! Stairs is a bit difficult for older people.
• Sophie (9/5): Gorgeous stay, great location, amazing host - Sylvia was so lovely. Extremely accomodating for an early check in. She made our stay in Florence exceptional!!! The property is great location with very lovely decor. 70 stairs to access (no lift) - not an issue for us but still to keep in mind.
• Parkinson (9/5): Superb - Lovely quirky apartment . Friendly host. 70 steps up from the street!
• Carolyn (10/5): Incredible value with an outstanding host. - Outstanding host who provided great info about the area. She was there to welcome us and thoughtful ly provided some welcome wine and beer. Flat had everything we needed. Cozy but very comfortable. Nothing! Just be prepared for stairs.
• Tara (10/5): Authentic Florence, great location. Fabulous Host. - Silvia was an exceptional host. She really cares about you as a guest and wants everything to be perfect. Which it is. The apartment is perfect. If you are looking for an authentic traditional apartment this is the place to be. As the other reviews have mentioned there are a number of flights of stairs to the apartment- it’s the top floor, but it is wonderful. The pictures don’t do it justice. The double glazing means that it’s very quiet. The location is superb. If you are not reasonably fit or steady on your feet then it really isn’t for you, but if that isn’t the case you will love it. The location is excellent. The facilities are great. We would definitely come back. Nothing - it was brilliant
• Laura (10/5): A lovely stay - It is very close to the rail station as well as the center. The host was really nice, and the apartment has everything you need. As the description says, the apartment is at the 4th floor and there is no elevator, for us it wasn’t a problem, but if you have many luggage it may be difficult to climb.
• Tricia (10/5): Silvia’s welcome and recommendations ensured that we had an amazing time in Florence - Location was excellent. Silvia was a welcoming host and provided an array of recommendations which allowed us to see things that we would have otherwise missed. The stairs were challenging but we were warned about this prior to booking. The apartment was worth the inconvenience
• Collins (10/5): Exceptional - Silvia was so helpful!
• Šárka (10/5): Exceptional - Silvia is fantastic. We could acomodate early. She recommended us Roof tops bars, restaurants, etc. There Is everything in a flats incl slipers, coffee, tee, shompoon, conditionair,...We would choose it again. Just in the centre
• Tiago (10/5): Superb apartment very central and lovely decorated - The host Silvia is a lovely and kind person, very much concerned on us enjoying our stay. The apartment is decorated with good taste and a particular italian romantic flavour, which makes it a no-brainer option for couples looking for a typical and cosy place to stay. Close to supermarkets, restaurants and 10 min walk from the Duomo. The kitchen is equiped with everything you may need and even think of, such as 2 different coffee appliances and even aceto balsamico. The rooms are nice and cosy. The bathroom is nothing like you ever seen before and works fine! And Florence... is really as lovely and beautiful as they say! Can't complain about anything to be honest. We knew already about the staircase and it was fine, even if for some may not be the same. But it surely adds a very typical taste to the experience :D
• Paweł (10/5): It was a very nice time. - Owner is a lovely, very kind person. Appartment has everything that you may need to feel like home while traveling - umbrella, slippers, hair dryer and more.
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - very nice apartment, good location in historic florence. very helpful hosts! i highly recommend this place.
• Emanuele (10/5): Exceptional - Most caring host and a great space in a quiet area
• Sandy (8/5): Lovely apartment in the heart of Florence - The apartment was lovely. Location was great. Easy check in and check out. Very responsive host. Air conditioning was good. Good kitchen and bathroom. Safe very cosy apartment and good decor. Great restaurants just a few doors down. Very authentic neighbourhood. We would stay again.
• Jono11 (9/5): A gem in Florence - Silvia is a great host, who greeted us upon arrival and helped us settle in, with a lot of information. The decor and style of the apartment is really nice and homely. It looks, and is clean and fresh. Air conditioning is available and the locations is superb, essentially in the centre of Florence. The views out of the windows were great, including the top of the Duomo. This is not a negative, but more of a note for potential guests. The apartment is on the 4th floor. There is no lift. Like many of the buildings in Italy, it is very old, so you shouldn't expect a lift. If you are ok with carrying your luggage up 4 flights of stairs, you will be rewarded with a lovely place to stay. The bathroom is large overall, but if you are over 6 feet tall, you will need to crouch to fit under the shower. There are no laundry facilities available in the apartment.
• Bernard (10/5): Clean with little extra details that make a difference!!! - Good location. Very clean!! Lots of little extras, such as towels, pillows, coffee, sugar, etc, etc.
• Ashleigh (10/5): Beautiful apartment in a great location in Florence - a 10 minute walk from the train and also 10 minutes into the heart -
• Warwick (10/5): Great host, central location, clean and comfortable apartment - Location and host were great. Not much, few stairs but that’s normal for old buildings in centre
• Lyndall (8/5): Thoroughly recommended - The location was excellent and it was great to have the extra space and kitchen Being a very old building and the apartment is on the 4th floor you need to know that there isn't a lift...but our host helped with the luggage!
• Rosa (8/5): Great host! Met us upon arrival gave us plenty of suggestions for attractions and eateries. - Great location No elevator and it was four stories up.
• Wendy (9/5): Very special apartment in a fantastic location with a thoughtful host. The stairs into the property - Location, unique property with great amenities, and the most thoughtful host. Nothing!!!!
• Ivan (9/5): We enjoyed the stay immensely - Excellent location and comfortable Stairs would be a problem for elderly or unfit people
• Jamie (9/5): Excellent host, cosy flat and great location. Everything on the doorstep - Silvia was so welcoming and friendly, on arrival she was very informative about restaurants, places to visit. She took our clothes and washed them at her home for us which was extremely kind of her. She was easy to contact when needed and just a very lovely lady. She made us feel very welcomed in Florence! The apartment is very cosy and the location was perfect, only 10-15 minutes from main attractions and it’s in a very safe area. Nothing to complain about, only issue was the pump went off in the early hours. But, once I made contact with Silvia she got onto it right away and got it sorted asap.. her family are extremely kind and helped us. I’ve seen some people have mentioned about the stairs however for us it was not a problem as we’re young and it does state in description it’s on top floor and up steep stairs.
• Нинап (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice, well equipped apartments close to the railway station and city center. A lot of small things for cooking (spices, oil, jams, etc.), coffee, all kinds of household chemicals, heating, air conditioning, comfortable beds, quiet place. Completelly match the description and photos. Wery nice host. We really enjoyed each day of our stay here. Thank you! -
• Bryony (7/5): Nice enough place with lovely host - Good location, kitchen has everything you need, including tea, coffee and sugar. Bottle of wine was a nice touch (although we don’t drink), as was water in the fridge. Additional bedding in case of cool weather. Silvia is lovely and helpful. Decor is a somewhat outdated, the apartment is a bit dark. Shower area ceiling is very low. If you are taller than 5ft 10 inches, that would be a problem. Stairs are steep and long, but we expected that. Front bedroom is a bit noisy at night due to bar/restaurant in street below.
• Diana (8/5): Very good -
• Miłosz (10/5): Exceptional - The property is really close to historic city centre so we could go everywhere on foot. Apartment has all needed facilities and stuff you might even not thought about (like umbrellas, shopping bag, slippers). We loved our stay, the property was quiet and cozy :) The apartment is located on the top floor of the tenement house, accessed by a slightly steep staircase - but on the other hand that's the best way to burn calories (also it is mentioned in the description) :)
• Keren (10/5): beautifull appartment - A beautifull appartment in a great location. Sylvia was very helpfull and available. Excellent price. The staircase is quite steep, but actually after all the pasta you eat in Flirence it's quite an adantage.
