Very kind service at check in. The room was spacious and excellent location. Just met me at the property to let me in which was very nice to have. Thanks again, Shawn.
The location was an easy walk from the train and close enough walk to the Bardini and Bolboli gardens. The apartment was very comfortable for the 2 of us. It was a relief to have a gas stove and washing machine I could figure out. The location of the washing machine was very clever.

Laundry is in a staircase donjun like. We didn't want to use it. Great location it could a great place if it was cleaner but good value. I recommend for a budget place close to the city center.
Nice, cozy and close to everything. Linens were clean, kitchen had most utensils you need to cook a simple meal and some toiletries were provided. Manager was responsive and took care of issues quickly.
The apartment was so well situated, very good walking distance from both train station and central Florence. It was warm, once we figured out how to use the central heating (don't have in NZ). An excellent spot to base yourself in Florence. Was great having big windows and the bedroom was a good size. Also handy having a washing machine and clothes rack. Supermercato close by also.

Our main concern was with the cleanliness of the place. When we came in first thing we saw was black mold in the bathroom, on the shower head, shower curtain and on the floor near the air conditioning unit. The next concern was the lack of hot/cold water. There only seemed to be lukewarm water out of the faucets and cold water out of the shower head. Finally we saw hair and other particles all over the bedroom floor. The communication, and the person who gave us the keys were great but the cleanliness was the biggest area of improvement for our stay.
I really enjoyed staying here- the location is excellent (within walking distance of everything without too many crowds nearby) and I found the apartment to be exceptionally clean and bigger than expected.I tend to spend about 14 hours a day out and about when I’m traveling, so all I truly need is a clean, easy to access space with a comfortable sleeping situation. This checked all the boxes for me. The neighborhood is safe for the single traveler and there are some pretty decent restaurants within a few blocks (great for grabbing dinner after a long day of sightseeing).One tiny thing- the gentleman who met me when I arrived was already upstairs when I got in (loved that he was there, very nice)… he didn’t offer to come down and help me with my bags. Not a dealbreaker- but would have been the cherry on top of an otherwise error-free stay.I would recommend this VRBO to friends traveling to Florence in the future.
