Close to everything, but in a quiet alleyway. The hosts were very responsive to our request to add an additional day yo our stay. ##### Beth R.

Very responsive agents. Lower stairs need hand rail for safety. ##### Stephen U. Stayed 19 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Annie R. 31 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location It was a great location. The apartment is bright and clean. It does need new couches in the living room, as the two there are uncomfortable and falling apart. The shower is slippery and tends to clog. ##### Annie R. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shareen H. 2 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ancient Florence visit This is a cozy 14th century apartment with typical Italian modern updates, between the Ponte Vecchio and the Pitti Palace in the nieghborhood where Michaelangelo lived. Precious! ##### Shareen H. Stayed 13 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John H. 25 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wish my stay never ended My friend who lives in Florence recommended to stay in this area of the city, and I am glad I found this gem. From this most of Florence is within easy walking distance. It is also right next to what we believe to be some of the best restaurants in Florence. The location stays very quiet, only heard a little noise from the restaurant down the alley on one of the nights. The place has so much room, makes it very comfortable. The only issue we had was the stiff mattress. Other than that, this is just the most perfect place and would stay there again in a heartbeat if we ever go back! ##### John H. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### David P. 14 Oct 2023 #### Decent Florence is a treasure. Apt is close to everything Ground floor is easy to access. Noise from alley motorcycles and restaurants until 1 pm can hinder sleep. A bit gloomy…little daylight. If you have a car be sure to book garage ahead of time to secure space and rights to drive in the zone where the apartment lies, or park outside the zone for less hassle and money…by the train station. ##### David P. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Charles B. 13 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### Good location, but some updates could make better. This is a nice quiet location, but the property is in need of some changes/maintenance. There is no air-conditioning and mosquitoes were bad in the area; this was a significant problem. Otherwise, the toilet is not fastened to the floor, there was only half a curtain in the Living room and the courtyard is only semi private, the sofa/loveseat should be replaced. The place was dark and could use more lighting or brighter bulbs in most every room. A corner shelf in the shower would make it easier to handle shampoo and soap. A handrail for the lower part of the stairs would be a safety benefit. We left a day early to stay at a hotel down the street. ##### Charles B. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious apartment This apartment is great... very much like the photos. It's quite large for Europe, and the photos reflect the actual size (vs hotel listings that use lenses that make rooms look bigger). The location is super convenient for visiting the main attractions in Florence, buying groceries, warm breakfast croissants at Gino's, and (of course) tons of restaurants. It's on a pedestrian-only alley, which reduces the street noise. (Florence is busier than I expected, though activity drops suddenly between ~10p-11p.) During my somewhat long stay, I had one plumbing issue come up and it was handled promptly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 22 nights in Oct 2022
