About this property
Guelfa Apartment
The apartment is on the ground floor of an elegant building on a quiet street in Florence’s historic centre. The front door opens into a space that separates the sleeping area from the living area. On one side are the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, while on the other side are the two bedrooms. The kitchen has a lovely terrace furnished with chairs and a table, perfect for enjoying dinner outdoors or simply relaxing.
The apartment has been completely renovated in recent years, giving it the feel of a brand-new space. Access to the apartment is via stairs—although it’s on the ground floor, the stairs provide easy and comfortable access. Guests will be welcomed with a toiletries kit containing hand soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner. Upon request, a high chair for children or a baby cot is available. The apartment has air conditioning in every room. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire apartment. The living room features a Smart TV with Netflix included. The kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances, including an oven, dishwasher, Nespresso coffee machine (pods included), kettle, and toaster.
Guests will be welcomed by a staff member available to assist with any questions or provide necessary information.
The apartment is located in the San Lorenzo area—in the heart of the historic centre. The area’s main attraction is the famous Central Market, where hundreds of vendors come and go with their carts every day; by night, the carts are removed, leaving the streets empty. The city’s most popular attractions are all within a short walking distance. The main train station, Santa Maria Novella, is only a ten-minute walk away.
The apartment is just outside the restricted traffic zone (ZTL)—literally at its entrance—which makes it easier to access by car. In the historic centre, you’ll always need to spend some time looking for a parking spot. Otherwise, you can leave your car at one of the many private car parks in the area surrounding the apartment.
Given the current global health situation, we have decided to increase our focus and time dedicated to CLEANING and SANITATION. We handle this with the help of professionals who sanitise every surface in the apartment after a guest’s stay. This increased focus affects our cleaning costs, but we believe it results in long-term gains in health and safety. We can all agree that cutting corners on health wouldn’t be wise. We hope you understand and support us in this decision. Guests will be welcomed by a staff member who is available to assist with any questions or provide any necessary information.

We loved the living space with the large sectional couch, well stocked kitchen and outside access. Bedrooms were spacious and had lots of space for clothes.
Our visit was absolute amazing. We were meet by one of the host and he was excellent in showing us the apartment with explaining details and answered any questions, excellent communication. The apartment was perfect in cleanliness, location and aesthetic design. I can only say wonderful compliments. I would highly recommend this apartment to others. I hope to return in the future with other friends and family.

Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
BEWARE: our first night the Air Conditioning system did not work on a day where temperatures reached 36 C (97 F). The owner said he was not aware the system was not functioning. We couldn’t open the windows because of the loud noise from the street and bugs. Miserable night dripping sweat and very little sleep. The owner came out the next day late in the mid afternoon and found there was no refrigerant in the system. By 5 pm he found enough to partly charge it and get the two bedroom units functioning but not the living room (he told us not to run it). He came out again the next day and added more refrigerant but told us again not to run the living room unit. He said the system had a leak (he did not know where) but should last to the end of our stay at which point it would have to be refilled.Beware that the owner’s employees do not understand how this split ductless system works. If the fans on the three units in the house are running they believe the AC is working. The problem is the unit outside on the patio off the kitchen. It contains a compressor, cooling coils, and a fan. If these are not running for various reasons including lack of system pressure the inside units are not supplied with refrigerant and there is no cooling.I told the owner’s employee (maybe wife?) they had to fix this for the next guest and I would post on this website to make sure future guests were warned but her response was “I don’t care”.VRBO is also fully aware of these problems.
