Great location!
This apartment’s location is key. It’s close to everything, so you can walk anywhere. The view is amazing as well. The apartment has everything you could ever need (pots, pans, spices, washer, dryer, & more). The AC was great since we just stayed during July and it was very hot in Florence. We had an issue getting into the apartment because there seems to be a dead zone for reception right outside the building (US user), but Silva responded quickly and helped us get inside! Yes, there are quite a bit of steps to the top, but the view and location make up for it. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing apt. Can walk anywhere within mins. Would highly recommend this apt to anyone. Only negative (which wasn’t for us) is that there are stairs only to get to it. Easy walk up unless you have mobility issues.

DREAM VACATION!!
I knew from booking Sylvia’s home that it was going to be a positively enjoyable vacation. He was amazing at answering all my queries and providing suggestions on where we could eat/shop. The pictures in the listing are exactly what to expect and I can’t tell you how it felt to hear the bells of the Tower which was just steps away. Sylvia had clean linens/towels delivered after our first week and you would have thought they were new..amazing service! Kitchen was fully equipped so you would want for nothing. I know for some, the stairs might scare you off but, we’re 75 and although a little daunting we did it no problem for 15 days!! The location is walking distance to almost anything you would want including 13 minutes to the train station. I’ve used VRBO for years and although recently I’ve had my issues, this is a rental I would recommend to anyone that wants to experience Italy close up! Silvia, I can’t thank you enough for your hospitality and you can be sure if we return, we will be contacting you! Ciao

Beautiful Apartment
This place was clean, well appointed and absolutely in the perfect location to walk easily everywhere. I saw the reviews about there being 78 steps up to the apartment so I was not surprised when I got there. The 78 steps really aren’t a big deal if you are in reasonably good shape and it is so worth it when you see how nice the place is. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

Can’t go wrong with staying here! A lot of stairs to get to the top floor, but otherwise has a great view of the duomo. The whole apartment is very spacious. One room is right on top of the other and you can hear into the room below, but that wasn’t a problem for us. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Exceptional place in central Florence
Wonderful place in the heart of Florence with a balcony view of the Duomo. Communication was exceptional before and during our stay. Could not recommend this place more highly. Only caution would be that it is the top level so there are a few flights of stairs to climb which may be an issue for those with mobility issues.

This apartment is incredible!! We had a lovely 6 night stay. Very comfortable and so beautifully decorated. It was nice to live like a local for a week. As others have mentioned, there are 78 concrete steps up to the apartment and no elevator. So be prepared to get your exercise. The location is right in the heart of everything. Train station 10 minute walk. Right around the corner from the Duomo. Host was very helpful, and made great restaurant recommendations So glad we chose this place!

Awesome property, only one issue
Beautiful clean property. Modern updated appliances. Awesome locations, beautiful view of the dome at night. Attentive management. It was such a good stay overall that I hate to say anything negative, but, the water pressure was really low. You can only use one faucet at a time. The hot water boiler is only 300 liters, so if you have a family with multiple people, (we had my wife and I and our 2 teenage daughters) showering is a little challenging. Now, we’re not spoiled Americans trying to take one hour showers. We’ve been abroad quite a bit, and once again, great property, great stay, just know about the water pressure/hot water issue. By the way, we were told that this is an issue with the aqueduct in Florence, so, you may have this issue elsewhere also.

Wonderful Florence Location
We enjoyed our stay here. The location can’t be beat. You are basically at the Duomo. The Uffizi is really close as well as many other sights. We walked everywhere. There were plenty of restaurants close by. Sylvia was very accommodating. The digital key worked well except one time we had to try the outside door several times. I took a previous reviewer’s advice and had the key ready when I first got there as well as the Wi-Fi info in case you don’t have service.
