Short distance from the Ponte Vecchio up a little hill. Had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. Comfortable beds and living/ eating area. Washer dryer in the basement was a bonus. We parked our car in a paid garage nearby. ##### Don N. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer I. 24 May 2019 #### Cozy and quaint There were 5 of us- 4 adults & a 14 yr old, who slept on the pull out sofa. They had clean sheets for the pull out, but only an old, dingy blanket for a coverlet/duvet. That was dissappointing. The sheets overall were also very rough- maybe 250 thread count. Patio would have been amazing to sit out on if it hadnt mostly rained. Otherwise, it was a bit tight for us all, but we only stayed 2 nights so it worked short term. ##### Jennifer I.

Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine K. 23 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location and King Size Beds Perfect location within walking distance of the major sights, The apartment is located in a building from the 1700’s, so it’s quirky. The kitchen is tiny but functional, gas range. The patio is nice and opens out from the back bedroom. There was room to hang clothes. The showers was small, but the hot water was plentiful. The host let us check in a bit early and leave our luggage for a bit after we checked out. Trash was inconvenient, it had to be taken down the street down three sets of stairs. It is best to take it down when you are leaving the house to sightsee for the day. Grocery store and restaurants are close by. The apartment was comfortable and the beds were great. ##### Catherine K.

Appartement super bien situé, proche des commodités, des musées et du centre ville animé. Terrasse sympa. Climatisation c'est appréciable en août. Quelques bémols : l'appartement est sombre. Le propriétaire a dû intervenir pour remettre un wifi performant. ##### David B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel degli Orafi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Degli-Orafi.h970861.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Machiavelli Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Machiavelli-Palace.h521248.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ville sull'Arno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Ville-SullArno.h521255.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Continentale - Lungarno Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Continentale-Lungarno-Collection.h905768.Hotel-Information) > > [Residenza D'Epoca Palazzo Galletti](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Residenza-DEpoca-Palazzo-Galletti.h1851785.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Calimala Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Calimala.h37955169.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Stanze del Duomo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Le-Stanze-Del-Duomo.h7519914.Hotel-Information) > > [Gallery Hotel Art - Lungarno Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Gallery-Hotel-Art-Lungarno-Collection.h14614.Hotel-Information) > > [IQ Hotel Firenze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-IQ-Hotel-Firenze.h89035039.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Kraft](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Kraft.h27795.Hotel-Information) > > [MH Florence Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-MH-Florence-Hotel-Spa.h13066303.Hotel-Information) > > [Plus Florence - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Plus-Florence-Hostel.h4125332.Hotel-Information) > > [Cerretani Hotel Firenze - MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cerretani-Mgallery-Collection.h2345.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Santa Maria Novella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Santa-Maria-Novella.h920451.Hotel-Information) > > [Il Rivalta - Place of Charme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Alfieri-Signature-Suites.h45790281.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Firenze Centro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Mercure-Firenze-Centro.h9727633.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Centrale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Relais-Hotel-Centrale-Residenza-D-Epoca.h2066602.Hotel-Information) > > [Corona D'italia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Corona-DItalia.h799996.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel Firenze by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-AC-Hotel-Firenze-By-Marriott.h1593256.Hotel-Information) > > [Bernini Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Bernini-Palace.h13999.Hotel-Information) > > [Forte16 View & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Forte16.h8071708.Hotel-Information) > > [Monna Lisa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Monna-Lisa.h1230.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Baglioni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Baglioni.h6371.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Adriatico](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Adriatico.h21881.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cantoria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cantoria.h10939902.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Berchielli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Berchielli.h521260.Hotel-Information) > > [Casual Rinascimento Firenze Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Casual-Rinascimento-Firenze-SPA.h89410886.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Accademia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Accademia.h1492705.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Milu Florence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Milu-Hotel.h15495681.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Atlantic Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Atlantic-Palace.h45737.Hotel-Information)
