This was our favorite place to stay. Itâs huge, so elegant, with a marvelous view of the city and il duomo. it has everything you need and is wonderfully cool.The elevator was a real plus. just downstairs is a favorite restaurant, 4 Leoni, and gelateria , Passera. The hosts were so helpful and accommodating. This is a really special place. And the location is absolutely perfect.
The apartment was wonderful and the location was amazing. It was walking distance from everything we wanted to do. We felt very safe in the neighborhood at night. Our ages ranged from 16 to 77 and we all agree that we would love to stay here again.
Very nice, clean and spacious apartment. Very good location, short distance from uffizi, duomo, and many other tourist spots. Great restaurants and interesting shops just down stairs. The host was very nice and helpful throughout our visit.
The host met us and gave us wonderful information of local hidden jewels. The location perfect, home secure and spotlessly clean, spacious. The host checked in with us to make sure our needs were met. I will look to stay here again when we return.
Such a sweet spot in a great location! Steps from major attractions but just off the beaten path. Great restaurants downstairs--and get the gelato on the corner!! We hope to return to this exact location in the future.
The location is great. You can walk to Ponte Vecchio in minutes. All three bedrooms have air conditioning, which is great for summer travel. Listen to Elle when you check in, her tips are helpful.
Excellent spacious 3rd floor apartment close to everything. Ellie made check in a breeze and Francesco was easy to communicate with for the booking. There can be a bit of noise from the restaurant in the piazza below and the beds are a little firm for our liking. Well appointed kitchen, two bathrooms, AC worked well. Small elevator in building as well. Would stay there again.
Eleonora was great, she always kept in touch and asked us about anything we needed. The place is right next great little coffee shop and one of the best galato i ever had. You won't regret it staying here.
We three women friends loved staying here! Location, size, layout, amenities of the apartment were all wonderful. Eleonora was very helpful. We will plan to stay here every time we come to Florence. We were very, very happy with all of it.
Second stay here as good as the first two years ago!
The apartment is in a great location and Eleonora was very helpful. The kitchen is beautifully equipped, bedrooms too with plenty of room to keep clothes. Very comfortable, easy access, Large common area but privacy in the bedrooms. Perfect for three women. The views are endlessly interesting and beautiful; will stay there any time we're in Florence. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay in this Florence Apartment. We were able to walk to attractions and had several food options within a short walk. There were partial views of the Duomo from the bedrooms. It was clean and well kept.
The property manager forgot to turn on the water heater at check-in so our first showers were lukewarm. We were able to figure out how to turn it on and the later showers were better.
We did have to take our trash out to large receptacles that were a few blocks away which was not a big deal.
Overall it was a nice stay.
We had a comfortable stay of almost two weeks here. The separate dining and living rooms provided lots of space for people to spread out and the bedrooms were spacious. The kitchen and bathrooms were well fitted out. The lift was appreciated, especially for bringing up our luggage.
The apartment had a very good location and was within walking distance to the sites.
We parked at the Lubrano garage, which was conveniently located.
If you need sheets for the pull out couch, you need to request this in advance.
This was a great property. The owner met us and gave us a nice run down of the property and the area we were staying in. the condo was so spacious! We are a group of 5 adults and we had so much room. We loved the area. The square below the apartment has one of our favorite restaurants we tried in Florence and it was very near everything we wanted to go see. Would highly recommmend!
Great view from the main living room. Our host was kind and made sure we settled in taking a few minutes to show us the place and ask if we needed help locating things. A suggestion sheet was on the dining table. He also texted a quick reply when we needed anything that we couldnât find.
Lovely place and stay.
We had an amazing stay in central Florence! The location couldn't have been better, with everything within walking distance. We truly appreciated the quick assistance from our host, Eleonora, in locating the bag we left in the taxi - she was a lifesaver. The efficient air conditioning was a godsend, especially since Florence was sweltering at almost 40 degrees during our visit. Highly recommend this place for a comfortable and convenient stay!

This was the first of four places we stayed in, in Italy and it does not disappoint. Adjacent to a lively little square, it is very close to tons of shops and restaurants in the Oltrarno district. There's a modest view of the Duomo from the bedrooms, so there's a little something to look at in the mornings. We stayed here for a couple of nights at the beginning of a trip and then stayed in the main historic district on our last night. For my money, the Oltrarno area - and this location in particular - were far, far superior to the location on the main side of the river. Highly recommend.
We are two seniors from the US. We stayed three months and loved the apartment. I would give it ten stars! Apartment really pretty with everything you need. The location super close to all the sites and restaurants. In fact the best gelato in Florence is right down stairs. There are a bunch of great wine bars in area. Francesco is extremely responsive and very very nice.the experience could not have been better!!!! Thank you Francesco for making our stay so perfect!
The apartment itself was as advertised. Very spacious and comfortable. Only problem was the check in process. Nobody was there to greet us or let us in the apartment, even though we stated or arrival time. Very frustrating after a long day of travel.
Best part of property was the location. It was large enough for a family of 6-7.
Kitchen ok, not fully equipped to cook. Bath floors slippery when wet. One shower didnât have anywhere to put soap/shampoo except on floor. With a little fine tuning, apartment could be better.
Pros:
+ great location in oltrano
+ large and spacious
+ lots of towels and sheet
+ elevator was great
+ great light
+ big fridge
Cons:
- low doors and one of the bathroom had a beam around 6â8â
- water pressure varied greatly from good to a trickle. That confused the hot water heater, which shut off the hot water
- on a little square that had a bit of noise but once I put in earplugs, I did not have a problem.
Great location, spacious and beautiful stay in Florence!
A family of five stayed super comfortably! Elly was our gracious host making sure we got there ok, that we knew where we could park our rental, and where to go to eat or sightsee. She was full of information!!
The apartment was beautifully decorated, and it is sooo spacious! Bathrooms are small but the other living areas are very comfortable. Its location was perfect! Ponte Vecchio is not far. The apartment is by Ponte Santa Trinita. The 4 Leoni Ristorante is a few steps away and it is also very delicious and convenient after a full day of sightseeing and walking. The apartment also has AC, which was really convenient during the unexpected heat wave in Italy. Having a washer was great too!
We did day tours to Tuscany and Cinque Terre and both tours departed close from the train station, which is about a little less than a 15min walk from the apartment.
All in all, we highly recommend this apartment!! Can't wait to come back!! Ciao, Firenze!
If you arrive by car, do not trust the advice or recommendations of the management or owner. They gave us instructions to drive to Lungarno Garage and when we entered and drove through the restricted zone we were stopped by police and will subsequently be ticketed back home. We were then told to follow the "manager" who took us to a parking lot over a mile away. She then drove off and left us to find our way through the winding streets of Florence for 1.3 miles, with luggage in the rain. Francesco, the owner thought that this was helpful of her. When asked why he/she instructed us to drive illegally thru the ZTL, he would not answer the question. Upon entering the apartment we were told that check out was at 10 am. When asked where on the website it indicated that the departure was at 10 am, Francesco would just repeat, "It is on the website".. When you walk in the door of the building, the stench of sewer is overwhelming. The apartment is the typical sheets covering the sofa kind of place, as if the sofa is something special. The beds are poor with very little bedding. Even though the apartment is large and in a good location, it is better suited for 8-10 backpackers. It is cheap, you get what you pay for. Never again for us.
