Fantastic location and the hosts were helpful. One thing to note is that the shower is very small, even for European standards, if this would be a concern.

A quiet gem in a busy city

This was a new location for us to stay in the city. We have stayed in Florence more than a dozen times. It is well positioned between the Duomo and Santa Croce with a grocery store and plenty of wonderful restaurants around the corner. We enjoy cooking for ourselves and found everything we needed for it to feel like home. Mirta responded quickly to any queries and was very helpful. Enjoy! C.j. and Jim from Canada

Wonderful apartment

Our stay here was perfect! The property is lovely and has everything we needed, it was clean and spacious and the bed was luxurious. The hosts were communicative and thoughtful, they put in an effort to make sure we felt welcome and were well oriented. Lastly, the location is absolutely perfect. There is a grocery store and cute bars and restaurants nearby. It's close to nearly all major attractions in Florence, and was perfect to stop in and take a break in the middle of the day

Exactly as described.

We enjoyed staying at this 15th century property for our two-week stay. Comfy bed, updated kitchen, very quiet and insulated from any street noise. It was perfect for a couple on vacay in Florence. We were softly greeted in the mornings by the bells of the Duomo. All went 5-stars until the last two mornings with no hot water in the shower - just like in the 15th century... Advised the owner through VRBO text but never got any response to fix the issue before we departed. Otherwise a 5-star experience.

Great place!

What a great apartment. Ground floor was a big help with Kristy’s mobility issues, and right in the heart of Florence. Check-in came with a full tour and answered so many questions. When I needed a cab they even called them for us. The kitchen was well equipped and we made a couple of lovely meals with stuff bought 40 meters from the Flat. When we return we will check the availability here first!!

We loved this property. We were greated with a welcoming bottle of Prosecco, fresh fruit and snacks! The apartment is adorable and clean. With the heat it was nice to have good air conditioning and a washing machine. The bed was comfortable and pillows were great. The location is close to the main attractions and restaurants and shops. The shower was a bit small, but otherwise we loved the apartment and would stay here again!

Great location- gracious hosts

We are in our late seventies and this ground floor apartment was perfect. In a vibrant area with many cafes, markets and restaurants but literally 10 minutes walk to the Duomo and all adjacent sites. Yet the spread totally quiet. Francesco met us with a bottle of wine and snacks and showed us the apartment and walked me through the neighborhood to see the restaurants atms markets etc. He couldn’t have been nicer.

Magnificence in Florence

Perfect location to visit key sights in Florence. Easy access by car to front door. Parking across the street did not work for first day due to heavy weekend traffic and a full parking garage. I parked elsewhere and moved the car the next day to the "Parking Duomo" lot across the street. Very friendly and helpful parking staff. Excellent apartment in all aspects.

Ground floor apt. near historical center

Finding a ground floor apartment in Florence is no easy task. The apartment is more suited to two guests rather than three, but the location is excellent for accessing all the major sights. A grocery store is 4 minutes walk away. It appeared to us to be a safe neighborhood, and we enjoyed 2 excellent meals just across the street at Barbagianni’s. Apartment was clean and had a hot shower.

Very clean; responsive owners but would not choose to stay again.

First, let me say the owners of this apartment are responsive and the gentleman who met us on their behalf was just that--a gentleman! I thought about this review a few days before submitting, because I want to be fair to both the owners and those making travel decisions and I recognize the importance of these reviews for all involved. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and the owners left fresh fruit and snacks for guests. The bed is sufficient but probably nearing the end of its life; the pillows are definitely in need of replacement. The shower is very small but very clean. The most disconcerting part of our stay was what appeared to be a sewer like odor that was quite strong when entering the interior foyer outside the unit from the street. It really bothered me. Let me underscore this is a result of no fault of the owners in my opinion---but it is part of the "experience". In short, I would not stay here again for this reason. Finally, for those for whom a "light and airy" accommodation is important with respect to choosing a place to stay, this unit would not be satisfactory, in my opinion. While the unit is centrally located to Duomo, etc., it is also up the street from a hospital and sirens happen.

Excellent Accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this amazing apartment. It has loads of character, is quiet and pleasantly cool during the hot weather. The apartment is very well equipped and is in an excellent, central location. Communication from the owners was great and they responded promptly to any questions we had. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for accommodation in central Florence. Trevor & Liz

Quiet sanctuary in the heart of Florence

I stayed at this first-floor apartment with my husband and 8 year old daughter and it was the perfect size for 2 adults and 1 child. The owner met us on arrival and helped by setting up the fold-out couch as a bed for our daughter. There were many extras we appreciated, like the travel shampoos and complimentary snacks and bottle of wine. Location is around the corner from the Duomo and a convenient walk to all major sites, but you would never know it, it was so calm and quiet. The unit also has air conditioning units in both main room and bedroom which was a huge plus since we were there during a heat wave. If you stay here we recommend keeping the air on and windows shut in summer since we noticed a few mosquitoes getting into the unit. Otherwise we found this a great home base for our Florence visit!

Adequate but with hassles

Good location, just needs some routine maintenance. The washer/dryer takes 5 hours and either leaves clothes still wet or blisteringly hot. The iron requires a plug in attachment that you must switch between appliances to make them work. We don’t have this in the US and weren’t told about in at check-in. Also, mosquitoes were a huge issue. There were dozens in the house, and all three of us were left with a ridiculous amount of bites while we slept. We contacted the host about this in the morning and they responded in the afternoon that there bug spray in the cupboard, but there was only a little bit left in the can, barely enough for one room. Later, they sent someone with a plug-in repellent, but we wish the issue had been taken care of beforehand, especially since their fix was so simple (though it didn’t seem effective). Additionally, we tried to use the oven while our clothes were still drying, and the entire apartment lost power. We played with the fuse box and nothing worked until we found another fuse box outside the apartment. The host did not reply until hours later when we had already figured it out.

Great location but MOSQUITOES

The property is in a fabulous location. Very close to the Duomo, grocery store, bus stops, restaurants, etc. The bed was comfy and the air conditioning was nice. We let the host know we would be doing laundry and she left us some complimentary laundry pods. As others have mentioned the bathroom especially the shower is quite small but we were expecting that. What we were not expecting was the copius amount of mosquitoes. During our 3 nights in Florence I think we saw one mosquito outside. However this apartment is full of them. The host is aware of this because when I suggested some fly strips or other pest control solutions she mentioned that there is Raid for mosquitoes by the washing machine. We did spray this a few times in the apartment but the smell is not great and it didn't really seem to help. Both my daughter and I have multiple bites all over.

Near the Duomo

This was our second stay at this apartment and again it was wonderful. We really enjoy the area, as it is so near major landmarks but also an area frequented by locals as well as tourists. The apartment was clean and the washer/dryer was a plus! Also, they were very helpful getting us into the apartment early and helping us get a taxi to the train station when we left. Would love to come back!
