Great location, size perfect for our adult family of 7, king beds were a plus, we loved it! Stairs only a struggle for luggage, but rest of time they were no issue (we walked all over the city for reference).

Florence apartment

The apartment was conveniently located near the Ufizzi Museum and the Ponte Vecchio. It was spacious enough for our entire group of 8 people. The check-in process was smooth and the owner was helpful when we had an issue with the thermostat.I would caution people that if you have issues with stairs, it may not be for you as it is on the 5th floor with no elevator. It is also along a busy street with noisy people walking by at all hours of the night which woke us up several nights.

Getaway in the heart of the city

Location, location, location! We couldn’t have hoped to be any closer to where we wanted to visit. But also, just off a main street so not too busy / noisy. Large space - we were six adults and it didn’t feel crowded. The kitchen was large (for Europe) and was well equipped - with three different types of coffee makers. Three bathrooms for the six of us was also a fantastic find. The rooms were fine, many didn’t have space to unpack and there were not enough fans for everyone. Loved the little outdoor space, a great tea teeth in the middle of the day or for espresso and breakfast. Was a little under stocked - not enough toilet paper or soap in the bathrooms. Communication was amazing prior to check-in, but check-out felts like a different experience. It was easy, just not as friendly! Was very happy with this stay. Would recommend.

Very good and spacious. A couple of the beds should be replaced and there was definitely a musty oder. Only downside was a request to remove the trash - and the requested drop off site is not near the premises (no near by collection bins). All-in-all, I would stay here again.

Family holiday in Florence

Excellent , large two level apartment in a great location in the city. The pictures and description match the condo. We had 6 adults and could easily have had two more. The owner repaired the a/c without us asking. Perhaps the highlight for us was in meeting Michele and spending a wonderful day with him giving us a cooking lesson Highly recommend this apartment

Great Location, Good Stay

The location was great, a few steps away from Santa Croce and you can pretty much walk anywhere within 15 minutes. The apartment is on the 4th floor with a lot of steps - it was okay for our party for day to day but not fun with luggage. The house was roomy enough for our party of 10 and the younger kids really enjoyed the upstairs bedroom and lookout. I could see the top of the Duomo from my bedroom window. My only complaint was that the house was missing some things I would consider essentials (hand soap, dish soap, & toilet paper). There was only 1 roll of TP in each bathroom and unfortunately we ran out early the first morning and couldn't find any thing open nearby.

Great location!

This apartment is located within walking distance of all the major Florence attractions. In addition, there is a wine window a few doors down, which was an added bonus. There was plenty of space for our group of 9. There are towels, small bars of soap and shampoo packets provided, as well as additional supplies to get you through the first day or so. If you are staying longer, I'd recommend getting toilet paper, trash bags and toiletries from the local store, which is not far. You do have to take the trash down the street and around the corner, but it is not a major inconvenience. The owner was responsive and easy to deal with. The air conditioning, while not overly powerful, keeps the place cool enough to feel inviting after a day of sightseeing; there are also several fans in the property. The stairs can be tough after climbing the bell tower, but again, not a major inconvenience, just something to be aware of. I would stay at the property again-the location is ideal.

Great location

Amazing location. Centrally located to everything. The apartment ia on the 5th floor. No elevator. But after getting luggage in on the first day, we really didn't mind. Please read notes...no extra toiletries or garbage bags, laundry detergent, kitchen cleaning items. We were there for 6 nights and had to go out on day one. Also. Only one set of towels. Additional fee for 2nd set. Washer only. No dryer. But with all that, would choose this location again

Lovin Firenze from 5th floor

We spent almost 6 weeks in this apartment. It is very spacious with 5 bedrooms and a loft bed, 3 bathrooms. It is very central to everything Florence, with some of the city’s best gelato and restaurants nearby. Yes, there are 72 stairs up and 72 stairs down but hey, it’s an old building. Borgo dei Greci is “Village of the Greeks”. Renata was wonderful to help quickly with the few things we needed. We were lucky enough to see several parades go down our street for the Florentine Football games held at Santa Croce. The grocery store is relatively close too. Just a wonderful way to spend some time in Florence. Thanks, Renata! AC went out 4xs in 6 weeks but was easy to fix by resetting AC unit on upper terrace. Hallway carpets need to be cleaned, they take away from all of the great things about this wonderful apartment.

Perfect for a big group

This apartment was exactly what we were looking for on our vacation. The location is perfect, in the middle of everything, centrally located to get to all the sites. You can walk everywhere. The apartment is big and beautiful. We are a family of 4 and we met up with our friends, another family of 4. We all had our bedrooms and plenty of private space AND the common areas are big enough for us to all sit down, talk, connect, play games and eat. We enjoyed breakfast every morning at the apartment and would sometimes bring lunch back because it is HOT in July! We were very thankful for the AC. The owners were very responsive too, as one day the AC went out and they sent over a technician to fix it. We found the beds to be comfortable as we all slept well, and there was plenty of hot water for all of us to take showers as needed, usually in the evening after being outside sweating all day—maybe July is not the best time to come to Florence. We absolutely loved our cooking experience with Chef Michele—I highly recommend. I also recommend getting all your tickets in advance so you avoid standing in long hot lines. There are no tickets for the Duomo so for that go early before it opens to get in line in the shade. Other things to note: there are a lot of stairs and no elevator, so be sure everyone is ok walking up to the 5th floor. Also basic things are not provided. Be prepared to buy or bring toilet paper, napkins, soap, shampoo, etc. not a big deal if you plan to shop for food.

Plenty left to be Desired

I was so hoping this would be amazing but sadly it left us wanting/needing more. For one, there are 5 floors of stairs that you must climb every time you leave the apartment. THERE IS NO ELEVATOR! Also, the neighbors in the building wanted us to be quiet all the time (even during regular hours). The bathroom situation is very deceiving the way they have written the descriptions. There are 3 bathrooms, but only one of them is nice. The second bathroom with a shower was extremely small, the shower door was difficult, and there was MOLD all over the tiles. The bathroom upstairs had a tub, but no shower and the ceiling was extremely low. All the rooms were bare minimum. There were no mirrors anywhere, very little lighting throughout and we asked for more pillows because the ones that were in the apartment were paper thin (which they said they couldn’t get more for us). There is a washer, but no dryer and the washer was filthy and tiny so we ended up having to go to a laundromat. The laundry room was also very dirty and being used as a storage unit. Basic items, such as garbage bags, hand soap, and items to use for cooking were almost nonexistent. I didn’t know that we would have to purchase all this for the space. Overall, I’ve learned my lesson. I’d rather spend more and go to a hotel where I will be accommodated for my family needs. I’ve been let down way too much with VRBO.

Average Unit - Needs Updating

Be prepared - unit is on 4th floor without elevator - walking several flights of stairs with bags is no big deal for most, but is an issue for some who are less fit. On arrival only 1 set of keys for 4 bedroom apartment...did not receive 2nd set of keys until 4th day of stay after multiple requests. Entry hall looks OK with fancy spiral staircase, but carpets are heavily stained and really need to be cleaned. Living and dining rooms are adequate, but not overly comfortable. Kitchen is fine for basic cooking only. Appearance of bedrooms is just OK - not very attractive with blank walls. Mattresses are borderline at best and should be replaced. Pillows are very uncomfortable and extra pillows in closet are unusable - all need to be replaced. Bathrooms are fine, but no soap, body wash, or shampoo provided. Main drawback to unit is loud street noise at all hours of the night from Borgo dei Greci, which clearly is a thoroughfare from Piazza di Santa Croce (1 block away). Even with windows closed, frequently awakened throughout the night. On the plus side, great location and good communication with property manager. Bottomline, could be a much nicer unit with some care and attention, but in its present state, would not use this property again.

Great location. Very spacious!

This fifth-floor walk up was just a few hundred yards from several amazing sights in Florence. The house was clean and offered plenty of space for all nine of us (two families with two kids each and Nona). The kitchen was adequately supplied with pots and pans, although some could use replacing. We only had one issue while we were there, and that was the main bathroom shower was not working at all. For nine people to be down a shower was pretty inconvenient. Unfortunately, our host fell ill while we were there, and so the response time was a bit frustrating, but we made do with the two smaller showers and the tub. Some of the beds were less than comfortable, but otherwise, this was a great space. Hopefully some updates will take place soon!

Spacious and centrally located!

3 adult couples shared this space and it worked for our needs as a central location to come and go in Florence. The bedrooms are spread out so we did not feel cramped or on top of each other. We could get anywhere in the historic center in just a few minutes, and there is a great cafe' down the street on the corner by Santa Croce (we went every morning for cappuccino) and a nice restaurant underneath the apartment. (try the pear risotto) Don't be off put by being on the 5th floor (6th in US terms) the stairs are wide and gradual. We opted to have Michele' the chef come and do a cooking class with us our very first day, it was wonderful, he was fun and engaging and we learned so much about Italian cooking and culture...worth every penny! Some things to note, WIFI is extremely spotty and only worked on the spiral staircase going to the 2nd level bedrooms, not a deal breaker but was only a slight inconvenience when trying to make reservations for dinner, etc. Also the dryer was non functioning, but we used the drying racks and it was fine. It was apparent that this property is used a lot as a rental, there are some slight repairs that need attention in the kitchen and bathrooms, but again, not deal breakers. Mike the owner responded very quickly when we brought the kitchen faucet problem to his attention and was willing to get a plumber out quickly to fix it. You can't ask for more than that. All in all, it is a great property and we would recommend it to anyone, especially a group, as a nice place to stay in central Florence.

It is beautif!

The penthouse was just beautiful. It worked very well for my family. There were 6 adults and 2 teenagers. We all had space. Quiet. There were a number of eating places just steps from the front door. Location was perfect. Important were enough keys for the adults to go their own way and still be able to get in whenever they came home. We rented other places and only had 1 key and it was very difficult. Air conditioning worked well which we took advantage of as it was about 100 F while we were there.
