Beautiful apartment and absolutely charming and helpful host. It was blazing hot while we visited Florence and the apartment was such a comfortable stay to finish off the day. A wonderfully decorated and artful space to rest, relax and unwind.
This well appointed apartment has everything that you could possibly need for either a short stay or like us a stay of over two months. It is centrally located and is exactly as described. Massimo couldnât be any more delightful and it was a pleasure staying in his condo. Part of the reason that we had such a lovely time is because of this condo.
We spent a week in this apartment - and would happily have stayed longer. It is beautifully furnished with a balcony and blind - perfect for sitting out in the evening sunshine. Massimo was a perfect host - he met us on arrival, check in was simple, everything was clean. It is a short walk of around 20 minutes to the very centre of town/Duomo. We would stay again if we return to Florence. Richard and Angela
My husband and I enjoyed our stay.. It was close to the city center - about 1mile away, we love walking, and it was nice to stay in a local neighborhood but close enough to great shops and restaurants and all the sites in Florence.
Our host was lovely, he was very helpful friendly - we were able to park our rental car in secured parking garage a well. The apartment was a very clean with a nice balcony ;)
Staying at Massimoâs apartment really contributed to our enjoyment of Florence. It is a short walk to the center of the city, away from the bustling crowds. The apartment is beautifully appointed, with interesting books and art; so very Florentine. The bed was deliciously comfortable. Massimo is a wealth of helpful information about where to go and what to do in Florence He is a helpful and gracious host.
This rental is NOT in Centro Storico as advertised. It is too far to walk from the train station and even a walk to Centro is at least 25 minutes. There is some bus transportation but our host knew nothing about it and simply suggested that we walk. I had had a fall at our our previous stop and had limited mobility and this was not the place we had expected. I must add that the apartment itself is lovely and is in a quiet location. So quiet that the horses pulling the carts in town stay nearby.
However I was surprised to find the fridge full of food including half used food. Then I discovered that the closet held clothes that belonged to our host. The dresser drawers in the bedroom where full of his personal clothing as well. It just did not feel right to us. We had just come from a ten star VRBO in Rome that was beyond perfect. We never felt comfortable here. However our host was there for us when we had to go to the police as my husband had been pickpocketed. We had received no instructions as to what to do with the garbage ( the outdoor bins required a key which we did not have and the host never replied to my email/text ) so we had to leave it inside the apartment when we left.
Another concern was the lack of places to eat ( there were only two ), to purchase a coffee and croissant in the morning, it was very far from everything.
I have never given such a low review before and in all honesty the host is a lovely individual and his home is wonderful but it just was not for us. Perhaps I should have read between the lines more. I certainly questioned the lack of recent reviews and accepted his reply. It is not easy for me to be so brutally honest but I have to tell the truth. If you are a healthy long distance walker and don't mind someone else's things around you then this is the place for you.
Florence experienced very high temp. up to 40 C. and that meant a long walk in heat to the tram. going to the train station and the old Florence. You have to walk in Florence. The apartment was nice, well decorated and comfortable. It
served our purpose well and there was a supermarket near by. but not much else.
Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes und sauberes AppartementÂĄ sehr praktischer Parkplatz in der Tiefgarage, von der man mit dem Aufzug schnell direkt zum Appartement kommtÂĄ hilfsbereiter, netter VermieterÂĄ 30 Minuten FuĂweg ins Zentrum, 10 Minuten FuĂweg zur Haltestelle vom Elektrobus ins Zentrum.
Sehr nette kommunikation mit Massimo, der uns auch tolle Tipps und Informationen gegeben gat. Die Unterkunft ist fuĂlĂ€ufig vom Bahnhof erreichbar. Die kĂŒche ist gut ausgestattet und die Betten sehr bequem und dank der Fliegengitter ist schlafen bei offenem Fenster problemlos. Rundum schön und gerne wieder :-)
Sehr freundlicher Vermieter und eine toll ausgestattete Wohnung. In der KĂŒche war alles da, was wir brauchten. Der Vermieter hatte sogar schon einige Lebensmittel fĂŒr uns bereit gelegt.
We had a wonderful stay in Florence and owe that in large parts to Massimo and his beautiful apartment. Massimo always responded quickly to any questions we had in advance and even understanding as our flight to Florence was cancelled and we spontaneously arrived a day late. He picked us up from the Tram station and accompanied us to the apartment, already telling us a lot of useful information about Florence on the way. The apartment itself is very nicely furnished and leaves nobody's wishes unfulfilled. The city center is easily reachable on foot and different supermarkets are available in close proximity as well. It is the perfect place to get to know Florence and to really feel like living in the city. We highly recommend Massimo's apartment. Thank you, Massimo and best wishes!
