A beautiful building as well; we loved falling asleep looking up at the ceiling frescos. Clean, quiet despite the busy street downstairs, and perfect for a family of 3 adults. Bonus points for 2 hairdryers! Just caution to those who are not able to handle stairs- it’s a long stairwell up and the stairs within the apartment are not for the faint of heart. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Emily O.

Quickly in touch whenever we had questions. ##### David D.

It was spacious with big windows, great height (that stunning ceiling); the loft bedrooms only enhanced the sense of space. Our late check-in was smooth and simple with digital entry and clear instructions sent prior to arrival. We enjoyed a very comfortable stay within walking distance of everything we’d hoped to see. Would certainly recommend to friends and family. ##### Garth B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 21 Jun 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice home base The location cannot be beat—easy walking to the Uffizi, etc. And the check in process went very smoothly even though we arrived late at night. The flat itself has some drawbacks; the interior is rather dark (as in, poorly lit), and the bathrooms look like they need a deep cleaning and some grout. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paige H., Charleston, South Carolina 1 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### great spot Great location in a fabulous city. we walked everywhere.... The unit was clean... a little dark....could use a little more lighting but that is probably a problem anywhere in a medieval city....pack lightly as you have to go up stairs...and it is like that in most vrbos in the area. easy to communicate with....overall...we enjoyed every minute. ##### Paige H.

Loved the cozy feel of the flat. decor and remodel made it feel like we were at a friends home. Some noise from the streets until late hours but drinking wine helped tune it out. Would recommend it to friends for sure. So clean and owners were accessible for help if we needed them. ##### Kathy B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam F. 16 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect spot for a 5-6 people! We loved everything about this place - great location, outstanding architecture and a very easy experience. It worked well for our family, including our three daughters: 23, 20 and 18\. Word of advice - bring some additional shampoo and soap if you are staying for more than a day or so. Also, there is no clothes dryer in the unit, but they do have a large drying rack which worked well. Thanks again for a great experience! ##### Sam F. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amin B., Los Angeles, CA 28 Jul 2018 #### Beautifully designed and well maintained. Best vacation rental we have stayed in. Tips: There is one flight of stairs to get to the apartment and there is an interior stair up to the loft. The bedrooms are on the loft level and open to below. The house numbers on the street are not in sequence, so the address will not show up in the exact location on google maps. ##### Amin B.

It is spacious and has everything you need for a family. There is no lift but taking the stairs with luggage was not a problem. It is spacious and well kept.

I travel a lot and rarely do reviews, but feel I need to share this information. First, I like renting properties that are not occupied by the owners. They are free of personal items and are clutter free. This is one of those great finds! It has a large comfortable living area, two large full baths and 2 bedrooms. Nice large closets. And the most beautiful carved ceiling. The location is perfect, walkable to everything. Communication with owner was great. I would stay here again. ##### Patty H.

This was our first VRBO experience - how lucky we were! Stefano waited patiently for us (in constant contact) when we arrived 2 hrs later than originally agreed. He was full of smiles and carried our bags for us.The apartment is just as described - it is absolutely beautiful and the location perfect... in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Florence. It isn't just clean its immaculate. All the major attractions within easy walking distance And Gaias restaurant recommendations were all excellent. I could go on and on - our trip was superb in every way and exceeded our expectations. Thank you Gaia I hope we can come back one day! ##### Karen B. ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa D., FAIRFIELD 17 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent location in a large open loft apartment This location can’t be beat, akin to staying on Madison Avenue in NYC above the high end stores . The apartment was large and open and in an older building. We were surprised to learn that the two bedrooms upstairs did not have full walls , so there was not a lot of privacy or quiet as a result . This ended up being fine for us , but should be noted in the description. The unit was very clean but in my opinion could use some updating. The property manager was responsive and lovely to deal with . Overall it was wonderful and we would definitely recommended . ##### Lisa D. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2019 ---
