Amazing
Absolutely beautiful apartment, so comfortable for our family of 5. Very spacious and the terrace with the views over Florence was stunning. Would highly recommend.
I love Florence even more after staying at this location! The flat had everything we needed, we could walk everywhere, and the views sitting on the terrace were fantastic. Will be back!
It is just a lovely apartment, clean and well designed, with great outdoor areas. The location of the apartment is perfect as everything is in walking distance, like grocery store, restaurants and old town.
The contact with Sweetstay was great, we felt well prepared and during our stay we had a great support from Nicollo.
My family had a great 3-night stay in this beautiful, clean, and conveniently located apartment in Florence. The apartment was well-appointed, very clean, and had plenty of space for my family to be comfortable. With the top-floor location, views from the 3-sided wrap-around balcony were stunning. The location was perfect for us with so many great attractions and restaurants within walking distance. The host was good to work with, responsive, and the check-in and check-out process was easy. Would return if back in Florence.

Would definitely recommend! Steps from the Arno River
We rented for a week over Thanksgiving break to visit our daughter who is there studying abroad for the semester. This apartment is on the TOP floor of a residential apartment building. It's bright and clean and beautiful! The wrap around balcony/porch areas are SO special! You get the whole Florence skyline- including the Duomo! Great, residential area- on the south side of the Arno- in the NON touristy area, yet a short/lovely walk to everything. Only things to change on description: there is a washer, but no dryer- which I think is standard for Italy. There is a Nepresso type of coffee maker, no "American" style coffee maker which we would have loved. Asked for a second set of towels for our week long stay and that was provided for us. We didn't know what to do with the trash but our daughter helped us figure it out! Would return to this apartment any time!
We stayed in Athens, Florence and Rome on this trip. This location was our favorite. Loved the penthouse setting. Great views. Located within walking distance to the railway station and all of our excursions. Numerous restaurants and Gelato options on this side of the river. Good communication for access to the unit and checkout was a breeze.
Great location. Easy access walking or for taxi's, just a ridge and a block away from city center. Quieter but close to restaurants, bars, cafes, grocery, sites. Walk to shopping, restaurants, museums, historical sites. Amazing views! Large outdoor terraces. Modern zen-like apartment is besutiful with everything you need including good wifi and accomodating, responsive hosts and comfortable beds. Elevator was nice. Good security. Will.rent again!
It is really hot in Florence this time of year and we think they turned on the AC like right before we got there so took a few days for the apartment to feel cool. The view from the apartment was excellent and beautiful. Water pressure was not very good. I do want to mention that my father got robbed as we were both entering the apartment I had my key in the door so it was right outside of the apartment. We know that this does not have anything to do with the apartment or host. But we did ask the host if there was any cameras on the property and there is not even though there is a sticker that says the building is surveilled. Talking to locals they said this location has gotten a little more dicey recently.
We were able to communicate no problem making check in smooth. The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. We loved the open space and amazing views of Florence city center. It was a bummer that the outdoor cushions had been left out in the rain so we couldn’t sit on them after the rain had stopped. Maybe a cover for the out door furniture but I’m sure that’s hard with the wind being an issue on the top floor. Super clean and well kept. Just a note that if you are planning on doing laundry there is only a washer but is very common in Europe. We stayed in the spring and had someCooler days and the heater worked just fine. Would be an amazing apartment for any season, warmer days on the patio and cooler days inside with beautiful views.

A fabulous, spacious, spotlessly clean apartment with the most amazing terrace. It’s situation is perfect for all the old town has to offer….. shops, restaurants, station, taxis and of course the Duomo and all other buildings and sites. Sweetstay is a wonderful host.
We would definitely stay here again and we highly recommend it.

Wonderful apartment
What a wonderful stay we had in this apartment. We got in later than expected and they were very accommodating. Laura was lovely and met us to let us in, show us around and offer a bit of history. She had sweets, fruit, water, coffee and milk all ready for us. It was a perfect dew days in Florence.

Great stay
The view from upstairs is really nice.
You should avoid the elevator, but that’s the building’s fault. It’s REALLY slow. Like 10s/floor slow.
Facilities are great.
Great stay. All updated. No issues
Perfect location.
Ps. Beware of the florence mosquitos
Bring a fly swatter and some spray youll b ok

Message traffic like hell.....
Cleanless at the was not as you expect !
If the agency would take more care about this instead
of sending emails like the clients would have nothing
else to do would be much better !
Apt. location and description was great, experience
with the agency: Try to find another one makes your
holidays more relaxed !

Great Place
Check-in process was a challenge. Apartment uses a 3rd party property management group for check-in.Morning of arrival we got a couple messages about check-in, but then communication went dark all day. It wasn’t until after we arrived, and had been waiting outside the apartment building for a while, that someone else responded to our calls and came over to let us in. Apparently the first person called out sick and the person trying to cover was scrambling all over the city and behind on check-ins. Other than that, the place was fantastic. Modern, clean, convenient. Made for a great stay. Will warn though, need to carry luggage up a flight of stairs before an elevator can take you the rest of the way up. If not able to carry your luggage it could be a challenge.
Great layout to the apartment for two couples but be mindful of valuables
Overall, this is a nice apartment. It is a bit of a walk to the main attractions (we knew that going in but wanted to mention it in case others looking for a rental aren't aware). We loved the outside deck. The apartment could use a touch-up (paint) on the main walls. There were dead/bloody mosquitoes on the walls from prior guests.
Also, be aware there is no safe. The apartment was burglarized while we were on a tour our first full day. There are three keys to get into the apartment itself (outside door, vestibule, and apartment). It led us to believe it was someone within the property management group. The property manager did contact us once we reported the burglary. Our jewelry was all taken as well as other clothing and personal items. If you rent here, take any valuables with you and/or hide them well.

Nice Apartment
Very nice apartment - tastefully decorated and within a 20-minute walking distance of most attractions. The deck was beautiful; however, we couldn't use it as much as we had hoped because mosquitoes would fly inside every time we opened one of the doors to go outside. So we mostly kept everything locked up and ran the AC. Our biggest issue with the apartment, however, was the water. We would lose water pressure whenever someone ran the shower for even 5 minutes. We wouldn't just lose hot water - we literally would not have water for 20-30 minutes, and this happened repeatedly during our stay. Also, there is no number to call to reach building management - you have to use chat for all communications. In fairness, management did respond timely to the chats; however, being able to call directly would have been more convenient. Finally, when we checked in, only one set of keys was initially given to us. We had to convince the woman who checked us in also to leave us her set of keys so that our family of five would have two sets. Going forward, two sets of keys should always be provided.
