This was the perfect place! Great location 1 block from Ponte Vecchio bridge. Beautiful courtyard in front of building. Charming church right next door.
This apartment was perfect for a 3 night visit in Florence with a friend. Everything is so walkable that even being on the south side of the Arno River wasnât a problem for seeing the main sights in Florence. There are some great restaurants and a gelateria steps away from the door. Check-in was smooth, and the communication was helpful and timely. The only downside is that Friday and Saturday nights are lively in the piazza below, which means the noise makes it hard to sleep, but itâs perfect if you enjoy getting out on weekends and joining in.
This apartment is in a GREAT location-lots of restaurants, near a large grocery and walkable to all you want to see in Florence.
It is on the first floor (second floor for Americans) and loud with bars, restaurants, people walking by and motorcycles. We stayed in October and all the windows were closed and still noisy.
The kitchen didn't have any towels (cloth or paper) and no napkins so we had to use a small bath towel until we bought a roll of paper towels. Not a big deal but inconvenient and I expect more from a VRBO.
No directions on how to use stove (gas must be switched on) and washer (water valve needed to be opened) but host provided information via texts so got it all working. Suggested a binder with how to work everything for the next guests.
We left for about 2 hours in the evening and came back to a large puddle of water in the living space. Not sure where it came from as windows were closed. Mopped it up and told host. They suggested it might have come from the old roof because there had been rain.
Overall, this place could be great if it was given some love but for now just okay.
This property should not be rented in summer- it is too hot without air conditioning and mosquitoes from the nearby river prevent leaving windows open at night.
