The contemporary-style kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances and complete cookware — perfect for anything from a casual meal to a special dinner at home.

Perfect location close to everything, across from Pitti Palace, and a stones throw from Ponte Vecchio. Well taken care of building, nice building entry, comfortable apartment, good sized rooms and bathrooms, well appointed throughout (especially kitchen), and beautiful. Check-in was easy and professional, and communication (whatsapp) was very responsive. Our party of 8 had space and comfort. Elevator in building was very helpful for luggage during check-in/out. My teenagers loved the loft bedroom, but steps could be challenging for older adults. Only issue was 1 AC unit leaked in bedroom off great room during our stay which caused puddles, but host was quick to respond and provide extra towels to clean up through stay, and there is quite a bit of noise early mornings for recycling nearby. Would stay again and miss it already! ##### Pete M.

We loved it here! Beautiful views of Boboli and Pitti Palace. Lovely cafes, shops all downstairs, less than 5 mins walk to hotspots and yet not living in the middle of all the foot traffic. Would definitely come back next visit to Florence. Wonderful and helpful team. Very helpful, flexible and kind. We felt very lucky to find this happy place! ##### Jessica K.

Lots of neighborhoods in Florence and this apartment is convenient for visiting many of them. The apartment’s security was a challenge, had to call for help a couple of times. Owner/manager was very responsive. ##### Ellen O. Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dena V. 30 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location The apartment is spacious for the 7 of us. The location is ideal and the air conditioning worked well. I would warn that the 4th bedroom was deemed very uncomfortable by our 15 and 17 year old daughters. The head clearance is very low and they repeatedly hit their heads. The shower does not drain properly in two of the bathrooms and floods the floor. The beds are very hard and the glass breaking noise from outside can be disruptive to sleep. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but for the price some of what I've listed here should be addressed. ##### Dena V. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Joshua F. 29 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location near pitta palace We stayed with a family group of 7\. Great location with walkable relatively easy access to most sites in Florence. The check in process was relatively easy. The host met us promptly and showed us around, as well as recommended many restaurants, grocery stores in nearby shops. The home is updated throughout with modern bathrooms. The bathroom/ shower upstairs unfortunately was not draining well and was not usable. The host tried to put Drano, but was not successful. The only other negative comment would be the outside noise. The large trash cans for the community are located directly outside and the trucks to empty the trash come very early in the morning. You can hear their reverse Warning sounds, and the trash being emptied at 6-7am. overall, we did enjoy our stay. I would stay again, but would make sure that the upstairs bathroom was functioning properly. ##### Joshua F. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Wesley J., Saint Louis USA 16 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Great location for a short visit to Florence We stayed at “Santo Spirito” for a 3-day weekend in October, accompanied by our 2 post-college age children and friends. On the positive side, this apartment is very lovely and is tastefully furnished. The location, next to the Pitti Palace and down the street from the Ponte Vecchio, is wonderfully convenient, within reasonably short walking distance of Florence’s major attractions. The windows offer partial views of the Boboli Gardens. The bathrooms and appliances are modern, beds comfortable, and the basic necessities (e.g. soap, shampoo, towels) are provided. On the whole we had a wonderful stay in Florence. There are 3 suggestions we hope the owner will consider. First, we had difficulty getting into the apartment. There is no lockbox and no rental office where one can pick up keys. The check-in agent is very nice, but she does not speak English. Perhaps it is for this reason that she did not answer her telephone. She prefers using WhatsApp and then using a related app for translating texts. Evidently she missed our messages and we ended up waiting with our bags on the street until 6:30 pm, vs an official check-in time of 3:00 pm. Perhaps the owner could install a lockbox, permit guests to pick up keys at an office, or use an agent who can speak a little English. Second, while we loved the location near the Pitti Palace, the apartment is also just across from a garbage collection station. The procession of garbage trucks, and people dumping off empty bottles, can be loud. We were awakened each morning between 5:00 am & 6:30 am, especially on Saturday when 4 sanitation trucks came through. Perhaps it might be possible to upgrade the windows for better sound-proofing or to provide some better form of “white noise” than the existing A/C units. Third, the pricing terms on VRBO’s website should really specify that taxes are in addition to the quoted price. The tax is 4 euros per person per night, which we paid on arrival. These issues aside, we truly enjoyed our time in Florence. It’s a lovely apartment in a highly convenient location. We left 3 bottles of wine to underscore our appreciation. ##### Wesley J. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jean-Patrice N. 13 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### défaut de communication, agence lamentable Cet appartement très bien situé dans Florence, mais mal insonorisé malgré un double vitrage, n'est manifestement pas habité par de vraies personnes. C'est un appartement lego, un genre de suite dont nous avons occupé 3 chambres avec salle de douche toilette, un living et une cuisine salle à manger. La porte d'entrée de l'appartement donne directement dans la cuisine living ce qui fait qu'on a un peu l'impression d'habiter dans le couloir. Pas grave car peu de mouvements. La porte d'entrée avec une serrure coffre fort est extrêmement difficile à déverrouiller de l'extérieur. Il vaut mieux être à deux. Nous avons attendu 2 heures sur la place Pitti pour entrer, l'agence nous ayant donné un faux numéro pour leur compte en banque. Multiples échanges téléphoniques avec l'agence espagnole Genteel (sic) à Séville qui a refusé à la personne sur place (à 20mn de l'appartement apparemment) de nous laisser entrer. Ils nous ont finalement communiqué un autre numéro de compte qui lui a fonctionné. Excuses les plus plates. Abritel n'a pas pu nous aider malgré son accueil en Roumanie. Nous sommes restés une semaine. Dans la cuisine nous avons trouvé des dosettes de café trop grosses pour la machine, des pastilles pour machine à laver le linge alors qu'il n'y avait qu'une machine à laver la vaisselle. Odeurs pestilentielles dans les 3 salles de bain, probablement des remontées des égoûts de Florence, la plomberie italienne ne semblant pas connaître les siphons qui justement permettent d'éviter ces inconvénients. Les placards à vaisselle sont très hauts ce qui permet d'éviter de se cogner mais il n'y a pas d'escabeau pour atteindre la vaisselle. Attention quand vous vous brossez les dents, la tablette est à hauteur de votre front. Pas de porte savon dans les douches et une lumière qui s'allume automatiquement dans le couloir quand vous voulez transiter entre les chambres. Nous avons fini par localiser les capteurs et les recouvrir de chiffons pour les neutraliser. Chauffage extrêmement bizarre lui aussi. Il y'a des radiateurs qui se mettent en route de manière aléatoire peut-être selon la température extérieure. Cela est compensé par un système de conditionnement d'air qui, met de l'air chaud au plafond, or chacun sait que l'air chaud monte. C'est un procédé coûteux et assez inefficace pour chauffer une pièce. En dehors de ces quelques inconvénients, Florence est une très belle ville, dont le centre est envahi par les touristes. ##### Jean-Patrice N. Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2022 ---
