Guest Reviews
- M TERESA (8/5): Buen sitio para alojarse en Florencia - La ubicación cerca de la estación de tren y apenas a unos 10 minutos andando del centro de Florencia. Hay paradas de tranvia y de autobús cerca, asi como cafeterias y restaurantes Cuando llegas y ves las zonas comunes. El ver un edificio que está poco cuidado por dentro, y subir esas escaleras. La primera imagen no es buena, aunque cuando entras en el apartamento y ves que está bien y cuidado, la opinión cambia.

- LAMPROGIOTAS KONSTANTINO (10/5): - Το δωμάτιο πολύ προσεγμένο. Κοντά στον σταθμό των τρένων και στο κέντρο της πόλης. Ο οικοδεσπότης ο Gulio πολύ ευγενικός και εξυπηρετικός.
- Egle (10/5): - Labai gera lokacija. Savininkas viską paaiškino kur kas ir kaip. Namie visko užteko. Žodžiu, buvo gerai. Rekomenduoju.

- Anna (8/5): - Angenehme Größe der Betten für uns und unsere 3 Kinder. Das Babybett war auch praktisch. Das Schlüsselsystem ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig.

- Migena (10/5): A comfortable and convenient base for exploring Florence, with friendly service and a great location. - The apartment was clean, well-furnished, and located in a convenient area close to public transport and major sights in Florence. The check-in process was smooth, and the host was very responsive and helpful throughout the stay
- Amparo (9/5): - El apartamento es muy cómodo,está cerca de la estación y relativamente cerca del centro. Además el apartamento está completamente renovado.
- Heather (10/5): Giulio the host could not have been more helpful.checkibg we were ok and helping when we got lost - Perfect layout, facilities excellent. Good security Nothing
- Gabriella (9/5): We had a very nice stay at this apartment in our Florence stay - Location, cleanliness, amenities like shampoo and supplies needed for our stay. Mosquitos
- Rowena (10/5): Excellent location, great apartment. Good communication from host - Great facilities, very clean and modern furnishings
- Jennie (7/5): Very kind & helpful host. Location was good. Comfortable bed. Great shower. - Giulio our host was very helpful with some issues we had as well as calling a taxi for us to go to the airport. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were basically new. Location was good as far as walking to most attractions in the centre, being around 15 to 2O minutes walking. Very well equipped for cooking a meal. The stairs to walk up to the apartment as we had a lot of luggage. It would have been nice to have a few basic things like tea, coffee and sugar.
- Maria (10/5): Clean, nice and easily accessible property. - It was easy to communicate with the host. .
- Rachael (8/5): Very good - The property is nice. Very comfortable bed and very nice shower. Close to the train station and very quiet apartment. You can’t open the doors from inside the apartment without an electronic fob and there is a locked door in the bedroom connecting to the bedroom of the apartment next door which felt a bit odd!
- Nagi̇han (10/5): Exceptional - the apar
- Charlie (10/5): Would go back again! - Brand new and designer look
- Tereza (9/5): Superb - + Good location to train station, nicely decorated, good AC, friendly owner, well-equipped kitchen, big shower
- Unusual door-opening - you have to get used to it, but it is not a huge drawback
- Gwendolyn (1/5): Not worth it! Will submit pictures when I arrive home!! - Bed. Bathroom Up and downstairs with lights that go on and off intermittently. You would be going up the steps or down and all of a sudden you’re in total darkness. Yesterday morning, as I was leaving, I was going down the stairs in total darkness and missed a step with my luggage, wrist broken & had to go to the hospital for several hours. IA cast was put on and Surgery is required and I’m waiting now to hear re scheduling from my doctor at home. For this reason, I have to cut short vacation not only for myself but for a friend. I had previously requested $100 off the room and was declined . Prior to that I had spoken to Owner via email. He seems uninvolved with customer service issues & I was declined. The other issue is difficulty getting in and out of the entrances, no one on location to assist and overall confusing. Furthermore, your website says “excellent, landmark view”. Neither of these words are accurate they should be re-viewed and “fair” would be the appropriate rating or verbiage for those interested in booking for this location.
When I arrive home, I will get in touch with your company by phone with proper hospital & doctor documentation regarding broken wrist and requesting consideration for repayment for all the difficulties involved .
- Amanda (8/5): Very nice apartment, almost perfect - Beautiful apartment, feels safe to stay and had everything necessary to enjoy a night. The property didn’t had elevator and if you bring large luggages it’s a workout going up those stairs. Also it was very clear if neighbors were in the next door apartment. It was very obvious to hear everything from the room. Not great at all
- Joanie (9/5): Highly recommend that place! It was perfect! - Giulio was very helpful eith the check in process amd everything was easy and ready when we arrived. The location for me was the best as I was attending a convention at Fortezza Da Basso right across the street. But it is also a 10 minutes walk from basically anything (train station, historic center and more). I definitely recommend that place! Everything was perfect!
- Ashish (10/5): Exceptional - Well equipped and maintained apartment. Nothing I can say. All was good.
- Pauline (8/5): Enjoyed our stay here and would happily return. - Lovely clean apartment which was perfect for 2 night stay. Location away from centre of town but plenty of facilities close by, restaurants, supermarket and transport(bus and tram). The stairs were a bit challenging but once we found light switch (black switches) this made it a lot easier to manage. Ideally apartment could benefit from tea towel and air freshener in bathroom.
- Arno (9/5): Ideal apartment for your Firenze trip - - Spacious room, nice & clean bathroom
- Helpfull host, we arrived a little too soon for check-in but they helped us immediatly with our luggqge
- 15mins walk to historic centre, nice location
- Noy (9/5): Nice and clean apparment. - Everything was great. The stuff was very helpful. Strongly recommended place to stay in Florence. -
- Maisie (9/5): Great place to stay in Florence for a few days - We had a lovely stay. Giulio was an excellent host, and the apartment was really well laid out and tidy. Location was 15-25min walk away from most of the main attractions in Florence. We would gladly stay again!
- Jayme (8/5): Not too far from the action - The cleaner is obviously amazing as it was SO throughly cleaned. Very comfortable and modern. The 2 flights of stairs are abit scary as it is pitch black in there so wouldn’t like to walk them alone.
- Eiman (9/5): Overall positive experience. - The apartment has decent space, fitted with the necessarily appliances, nice furniture and bath room is beautiful.
Giulio my host is excellent from our first correspondence I felt welcomed and cared for. During my stay any thing needed was attended to, Thank you
Location is great 21-25mintues walk to get to city centre to dine and visit art galleries or
take public transport but walking is your best option. Train station is 5-7 minutes walk so you could take fast train to visit Rome.
Bus stop and metro station is 5 minutes walk.
There are restaurants and coffee shops closed by and the supermarket is not too far 15 minutes. The property could benefit from lift or restoration of old stairs…old stairs some are damaged and
so you need to be careful when getting to upper floor apartments.
The in shower marble bench slippery.
There was no in room safe to keep valuables.
- Janine (9/5): Superb - Great location, comfortable bed, convenient checkin
- Ashvini (9/5): Superb -
- Gaynor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sidney (8/5): Room was clean, had great air con, and convenient walk to sites and transit. - The air con The doors were confusing
- Jonathan (9/5): Great stay - Good value and great unit Check in can be confusing.
- Jonathan (10/5): Clean comfortable appartement with a central location. Ideal for a weekend break. - Great location. Easy secure access. Straightforward booking Nothing
- Ryan (8/5): Nice property for a couple. On second floor. - Good location. Convenient to train station and close to main tourist attractions. Nothing
- Stefania (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gerald (10/5): Exceptional - Key system and the link door to the next apartment
- Keith (10/5): Firenze excellence - Everything! Great location, very up-to-date appartamento, excellent host. Nothing.
- Murray (9/5): Excellent accomodation - Location, size and quality Up 2 flights of stairs
- James (9/5): Nice, comfortable place - Clean and quiet A little small and the view out the window was an unattractive courtyard
- Joseph (10/5): Exceptional - Close to all amenities.
- Tom (10/5): Exceptional - -Lovely bathroom
-Giulio was a very easy to reach and we was allowed early check in
-Great location very near train station and a short walk away from the centre
-felt very secure in apartment and loved the key card being on the mobile very easy to use
- Alice (9/5): Good accommodation in Florence - A neat apartment, well designed for comfort, has so many details to feel relaxed, to feel safe. With safety electronic systems to lock the doors, well done!
The furniture and stuff are of quality, chosen with taste to create a nice ambiance.
Check-in was very simple, online, the access to enter in the ap online too.
Good sized for ap, a large and well equipped bathroom.
There are enough tools for preparing a breakfast or other meal in the nice kitchen. I was tempted to think that everything is perfect in this apartment, but in coffee country we didn't find a coffee machine, just a little hand expressor - broken. No coffee, no sugar.. it's a pity
- Darren (9/5): Nice room, modern way of entering and central location. Needs more light on the stairs but can manage. - Central location, modern decor, helpful owner The hall way/landing/stairway was poorly lighted
- Josephine (8/5): The apartment was fairly close to the centre of Florence. The owner was fantastic in replying to me - I had a key code which was very easy to use It would have been helpful to have a welcome pack in the apartment- maybe a bottle of water , some herbal /fruit teas.
- Lauren (4/5): Good communication with staff but overall a disappointing stay - The host was very accommodating in allowing us to leave our bags prior to check in and also organise an early check in with good communication. The address on the site when typed into maps takes you to a different location but the host promptly dropped us a pin to arrive at the correct location. The apartment wasn’t to the highest standard of cleanliness. The bed was very soft and uncomfortable. There seems to be a major mosquito problem also and for not opening a window the full duration of our stay the amount of mosquitoes in the room was disturbing, it seems to be a real issue. Myself and husband have left with numerous mosquito bites each, not a pleasant experience at all.
- Adam (10/5): Excellent location walking distance to everything - Excellent location really safe All is good
- Donna (9/5): Superb - Location to train station Not much open in the immediate street at night
- Deborah (8/5): I'D BOOK THIS PLACE AGAIN - Very clean, lovely remodeled space. I'd go back. On the edge of the action so it's a walk to restaurants, but great access to the train station. More shopping and restaurants would be nice, but not a deal-breaker.
- Rocco (9/5): Great place to relax an unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful city. - My girlfriend and I spent a few days here on a recent trip to Italy. The apartment had very nice amenities, was nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent. He was able to provide recommendation for parking in the area (not always easy to find in Italy). I would highly recommend this property.
- Brian (10/5): Comfortable and pleasant -host went out of their way to accommodate our early arrival and departure - Beautifully decorated, cozy and comfortable. Thankfully only up one long stairway. Real bonus Clothes washer and dryer(no instruction had to find instructions on the internet). Reliable WEB access. Quiet neighborhood. 40 steps up from lobby. Thankfully we are young(75) and could navigate the steps. would not recommend for older couples with large suitcases.
- Ravan (10/5): Great place, one of the best - The apartment was very impressive, one of the best we've stayed in while in Italy. The bathroom was simply outstanding. The interior decor was beyond praise. A nice and clean apartment. Inside, there's everything from spoons, plates, a microwave oven to a refrigerator, teas, coffee, and so on. There's nothing missing. We would have loved to stay longer, but alas... My respects to the apartment owner, for offering such a high-quality home at such an affordable price. It's a pity that I can't stay for a longer period.
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Szee (9/5): Superb -
- Laura (10/5): Would recommend to all my friends. Home from home - Stunning apartment, only 10mins or so from the train station. Location was great for us, roughly 15/20min stroll to centre. Staff were great at communicating, on the day of check in we arrived early & the host allowed us to leave our bags which was perfect. Was home from home didn’t want to leave. Nothin
- Maxine (9/5): A wonderful time in Florence! - The apartment was very clean. Excellent kitchen facilities. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was great. The air conditioning worked very well. It was very quiet considering it was on the main road and tram line. A wonderful stay and it was only 20 minutes walk from the main attractions. You have to use your phone to unlock the two doors. Whilst this worked well, once you close the door, it automatically locks and can only be re-opened with your phone. We found this disconcerting.. if there was a fire.. we are two floors high...you can't get out without your phone. Make sure you know where your phone is, where the app is on your phone and it is charged!
- Patricia (10/5): Felt right at home and within walking distance to attractions. - Very easy entry and very safe. Centrally located near train station and walking distance to major attractions. Very nicely decorated and very clean.
- Jeanette (9/5): Our apartment was clean,comfortable & convenient, we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay in Firenze with - Our apartment was clean,comfortable and within walking distance of most places within Firenze.
The apartment had all we needed for a comfortable stay in Firenze. Nothing.
- Kiana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katie (10/5): Perfect apartment - would stay again - Really nice apartment. It was convenient for the train station and for the sites of the city. Walkable to the cathedral in 15mins but cafes restaurants etc much closer too. Cafe on the corner is nice for breakfast. Everything was clean and comfy. Air con good. Communications were good and check in easy. I'd stay again. Would be good to have a sign on the hallway lights (I think I ran a doorbell instead of putting on the lights - sorry neighbours!). Be prepared for a couple of flights of steep stairs (not that it is misadvertised but just be aware). With the apartment itself I wouldn't change anything.
- Shaun (7/5): 5 night stay with partner for her 60th birthday. Door locking system takes some getting used to. Apartment is split into - Location is decent about 10/15 mins walk from train station Communal stairs are very dark and not inviting
- Anonymous (10/5): Great place to stay at when visiting Florence. Apartment is nice, clean and it is located close to city center and train - Nice, clean, close to town center and train station.
- Hafiza (9/5): Superb -
- Ciceniene (10/5): Great - Clean, location N/a
- Yu-chiao (9/5): The owner was very nice, always answered the questions quickly. The room was quite big and comfortable. -
- Sven (10/5): Excellent refuge from the hustle and bustle of Florence a hit out of the centre which was welcome, extremely comfortable - Beautiful renovation, very comfortable bed, excellent windows and lots of AC for the hottest of weather. Great location 10-15 min walk to everything! Thank you! Nothing!
- Angie (10/5): Beautiful apartment in a great location to visit Florence! Lots of shops and restaurants nearby - Very comfortable, clean place. The windows did an exceptional job of blocking outside noise. Easy to walk everywhere Walls in the bedroom are a bit thin. I could hear people in the other room easily. Wasn’t a huge issue for me though
- Brandon (9/5): Superb -
- Samantha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Claire (8/5): Modern and quiet - While small, the apartment was very modern and nicely decorated. I particularly liked how the different lighting could create different moods for the room. The bed was comfortable, the shower was spacious and the double glass windows did an excellent job of sound proofing the room. It was also about 10 minutes from the city centre, a good distance from the busy tourist district. The wifi is quite slow - not fast enough to support Netflix. There's a lag which means the audio doesn't sync. We restarted the TV but this issue persisted.
The washing machine also makes a lot of noise. The load was almost finished at 10.30pm when a downstairs neighbour started banging persistently on the ceiling. After that we didn't feel like we could do a load of washing at night.
The front door is electronic, but it seemed like the key battery was running out because it would take a little while for the door to unlock.
More thorough check out instructions would also be helpful - such as where to dispose of the trash.
These issues were minor to us and I would happily stay at the apartment again.
- Charlotte (8/5): Short, sweet and good location. - very clean and had everything we needed. location was great! And well furnished! Our room was close to the bathroom in the next apartment and this was quite noisy in the night.
- Veronica (10/5): One of the best stays in Italy. - The location was perfect! Walking distance to the train station and all of the sites. Nothing
- Pai (10/5): Great stay, would book again. - The apartment was very modern. Especially the bathroom was classy and new. It had a large shower that made it very comfortable compared to other stays we had in Italy that all had very small bathrooms and showers. I highly recommend this place!
- Emma (8/5): Very good -
- Chloe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joyce (9/5): Excellent place, helpful and friendly host. - Very clean and well appointed. Everything well provided - crockery, cutlery. Noticed in Italy they don’t seem to provide tea towels for drying dishes. Bed was comfortable. Two pillows each.Lots of nice fluffy towels. Communication with the young man (owner’s son, I believe) was excellent - very polite and helpful. Allowed us to check in a bit earlier which was nice. There are stairs to climb to get to the apartment but it wasn’t too bad. About a 15 -20 minute walk to the Duomo and about 10 minutes to the central station. Gelati shop next door and pizza/pasta restaurant 2 doors down - food was nice and not as expensive as near the Duomo. The washing machine cycle was difficult to work out. It would have been great to have had instructions as to which was a short/quick wash.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Tadd (9/5): Superb -
