About this property

The Faenza Apartment

  • The apartment is located in a semi-detached house with its own entrance and porches on two sides: you’ll feel like you’re in your own little villa. It consists of a large living room with an open kitchen, a double bedroom with a bathroom, and another double bedroom with a bathroom on the lower level. The back porch is a spacious outdoor area furnished with armchairs and a table. When needed, the sofa in the living room can be converted into a double bed.

    The apartment is part of a condominium situated inside the block, away from the street, consisting of houses renovated just a few years ago and set in a pleasant setting with a lovely, quiet communal garden. Green spaces, tranquility, and security enhance the property’s overall value. You’ll be surprised by how peaceful it is when you enter the property, especially considering it’s located in the heart of the historic centre. The apartment’s entrance is through a front porch furnished with a table and chairs. The outdoor area in the back, which is accessed from the bedroom on the lower floor, is also very pleasant and is furnished with armchairs and a small table.

    Guests will be welcomed by a staff member who is available to assist with any questions or provide any necessary information.

    Check-in ends at 8:30 PM. After this time, check-in is possible for an additional fee. From 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM, the fee is 30.00 €. After 11:00 PM, the fee is 50.00 €. Payment must be made through Airbnb upon arrival. For more information, please feel free to contact me.

    The apartment is located in the San Lorenzo district of the historic centre, known above all for its large market, where dozens of vendors set up their stalls daily to display their goods—stalls that are then taken down at night. From here, you’ll be within walking distance of all the city’s major attractions. The Santa Maria Novella train station (the city’s main train station) is about a 5-minute walk from the apartment.

    The apartment is located outside the ZTL (the restricted traffic zone where cars are not allowed without a permit). In fact, the apartment is situated right before the entrance to the ZTL. In any case, parking in the historic centre is never easy, so you’ll need to spend some time looking for a free spot. Alternatively, there are many paid car parks in the area where you can leave your car during your stay. For more information about parking, please feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to advise you on the best solution for your needs.

    Inside the apartment, you’ll find everything you need to enjoy your stay to the fullest. In the living room, there’s a smart TV with Netflix in English (or your preferred language) and, of course, Wi-Fi internet access. The apartment is equipped with air conditioning in every room. In the kitchen, you’ll find a dishwasher, oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, and a Nespresso coffee machine with pods included. There’s also a laundry area shared with other apartments.

    In addition to sheets and towels, our guests will receive a bathroom set complete with hand soap, shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner.

    Upon request, a high chair and a baby cot are available.

This was an absolutely perfect location! Via Faenza is close to the train station and the street itself had wonderful restaurants. Guilio was very responsive and helpful.

The stay was good. The location was excellent. The sink in the main bathroom does not drain and the lower level is very damp and musty smelling.

Good overall

We were happy with the space for our family of 5 and the apartment was as big as described. Convenient location, very close to train station and attractions. Owner was responsive. There were a few minor flaws. The main bathroom sink was very clogged, the pull out couch had no pillows and doing laundry in the parking garage was inconvenient. Overall, we were happy with the place.

Florence Apartment

We loved the location. 2 bedrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. The upstairs was lovely. The downstairs was not. There was mold in the bathroom and it smelled musty. The clothes cabinet is falling apart. There were two bedframes that were uneven. The worst one was curved like a hammock. The owner needs to invest some money in the downstairs bedroom . Our friends were forced to sleep on a pull out couch in the kitchen living room and were very upset.We slept upstairs and were fine. It is a wonderful location near the train and Giulio our contact was as helpful as he could be.

Great accomodation & location

The commuication with the agent was excellent throughout the booking & checking in process. The apartment is well equipped and spacious. We were met on arrival & everything was explained to us. There was a map provided highlighting the places to visit. The apartment felt very safe and access is via a security gate. It was close to all the amenities including the train & bus station. We were two couples and the bedrooms & bathrooms were a good size. We were in contact with the agent during our stay who always responded promptly. We would recommend the accomodation without hesitation!

I loved this place

I was pleased to have booked this place. It was clean, safe It took me a while to find it because the GPS system was not giving me signal because there was some street work done and I kept going in circles, however the hostess was there waiting patiently and he greeted me in a friendly and professional manner. The only thing that I noticed was that the 2nd room downstairs had no heating flow and I had to sleep on the sofabed in the living room. Otherwise, everything else was perfect.

Small list of improvements

Both bath room sinks did not drain properly. Mold in showers Pillows were old and need to be replaced along with the mattresses It should be more specific about the washer NOT being in the unit.
