Quieter than staying downtown. Very spacious and the owner is very kind and generous. ##### Yasmin J. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie P. 18 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent We loved our stay in Florence and the apartment was amazing. We had a car and needed a place outside the ZTL with private parking, but close to the city. This apartment was perfect. We were able to find the address with no problems and Piero was waiting for us to show us the private parking area. He also helped us get checked in, told us the easiest way to get into the city, and gave us wonderful suggestions for places to eat. He was the perfect host. I would recommend this apartment to anyone. ##### Stephanie P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Wanda A. 28 Oct 2018 #### A n ice apartment, but no wifi! This apartment had good beds, a nice kitchen, and a large sitting space. It was attractive and we liked it very much, but it was advertised as having wifi, but the wifi was not working. we needed it for calling taxis and for making other arrangements. The owner was out of town and we had no wifi until the last day of our stay. He also deducted a charge for a shower knob which he said we had broken from our security deposit It was broken when we arrived and we had told him about it. ##### Wanda A. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pascal J. 15 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bel appartement spacieux L'appartement est spacieux, confortable et conforme à la description. Le parking privé a été très apprécié pendant tout le séjour car il ne semble pas facile de se garer dans la rue, et nous avons pu aller dans le centre de Florence en bus ou à pied (25 min.). Le supermarché Esselunga à proximité, ouvert jusqu'à 21h, est très pratique. ##### Pascal J. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ingrid M. 31 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Schöne große Wohnung... ... mit unkompliziertem Gastgeber. Sehr gut ausgestattet und gemütlich. Zwei Balkone boten sowohl morgens als auch Abends Sonne. Ein Schlafzimmer zur Straße war etwas laut. ##### Ingrid M. Stayed 10 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 29 Jul 2018 #### Spacious, comfortable and perfect with a car The flat is huge and well-equipped. Two full bathrooms were very nice to have, even for just 3 of us. The view of the cathedral from the front balcony is lovely. We walked into Florence most days and it’s easily doable. At the end of long, hot days we sometimes caught a cab, though there are also buses that run close by. We rented a car to see more of Tuscany and the reserved parking space was invaluable. We hugely appreciated the washing machine and outdoor clothesline as our stay was in the middle of a 3-week trip with minimalist luggage. The owner Piero provided great advice, including some great local restaurants, and he works hard to ensure his guests feel welcome. The flat was his home and it does feel very homey. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thank you, Piero! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvain B., Sainte Foy lès Lyon 18 Mar 2017 #### Un bel appartement, pratique et vaste Le propriétaire nous a reçus de façon chaleureuse et s'est montré très disponible. Il nous expliqué tout ce que nous avions besoin de savoir et fourni de quoi faire le petit déjeuner. L'appartement est vaste et très agréable, fonctionnel, bien équipé. Situé pas très loin du centre de Florence, il donne la possibilité de faire tous les déplacements souhaités à pieds. Nous y retournerions sans problème ! ##### Sylvain B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel degli Orafi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Degli-Orafi.h970861.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Hotel Firenze Pitti Palace al Ponte Vecchio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Pitti-Palace-Al-Ponte-Vecchio.h17378.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cantoria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Cantoria.h10939902.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) > > [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 Machiavelli Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Machiavelli-Palace.h521248.Hotel-Information) > > [QK Costa58 Home Tower](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-QK-Costa58-Home-Tower.h21056347.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) > > [Le Stanze del Duomo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Le-Stanze-Del-Duomo.h7519914.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) > > [Hotel Kraft](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Kraft.h27795.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) > > [Il Rivalta - Place of Charme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Alfieri-Signature-Suites.h45790281.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Adriatico](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Adriatico.h21881.Hotel-Information) > > [Corona D'italia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Corona-DItalia.h799996.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) > > [Grand Hotel Baglioni](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Baglioni.h6371.Hotel-Information)
