From booking, to check in, to checkout, everything was seamless and the host was very responsive. Location was perfect and listing was as pictured. Our family of five with three adult children (18-21) were easily accommodated in this rental.
Ambulances with sirens blaring going by at anytime of day or night to the nearby hospital. Very close to the Duomo! Parking is outrageously expensive in downtown Firenze. We paid 30 Euros/night and that was a deal ;-). The apartment was clean.
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was in order and the place was spacious and clean. The location is good and we found the apartment’s guide to be very helpful. Would definitely stay there again.
Stayed 3 nights with my family (5 total). Wonderful location (minutes walk to most major attractions/museums) and was great place to stay for our family. Plenty of room for the five of us and the host is so nice to work with. Definitely recommend the property and would stay there again the next time in Florence.
Wonderful, roomy apartment. Fans, A/C, comfy beds, little patio, great location, and easy check in process. We loved our stay here! It's close to grocery stores, and all the big sights. 5 stars, across the board. The 2 bathrooms were so handy. Great place for 2 couples.
The apartment was in a great location, about a15-20 min walk to the train station, close to restaurants and the old city center but far enough away to enjoy quiet nights. The apartment is on the bottom floor so there aren't any stairs to climb. 2 nicely renovated bathrooms worked well for the 4 adults in our party. The beds are comfortable and my friend said the sofa bed was very comfortable also. We were there during a heatwave and the a/c worked great and each room has its own unit. Our host was very accommodating and had his property manager Daniel drop our bags off prior to check-in so we could make it to one of our tours. I would definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rental was extremely spacious and comfortable. We were greeted by Christian, a friend of the owner, and he assisted us in bringing in our luggage. He stressed several times that we could call him if we needed anything. I highly recommend this place and would gladly stay there again.
Enjoyed our stay at great centrally located apt downtown Florence. Gianluca and Daniel were immediately responsive to any texts. Stayed here for 6 nights with spouse and two adult daughters. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent!!! Charming and warm. Total comfort, state of the art.
Very close and easy walk from train station. Easy drive into the Chianti and Tuscany regions.
Great communication with our host.
Would definitely return.
First floor apartment which was nice because we had full size suitcases and there was no elevator. Our host was very responsive to all our questions. Comfortable beds and couch/chair in living room. Close to train station and bus station. Easy walking to see the sites and do some shopping. Internal courtyard was nice because there aren't other windows and gave us a quick look at the weather. Would recommend for couples like us traveling in Florence.
The apartment was close to the Duomo and within easy walking distance of everything else we wanted to see.
It had everything needed to make our stay successful.
Gianluca was kind enough to find us a taxi on our last day, going above and beyond his responsibility as our host to do so. We were very grateful.
Check in was well managed and easy to achieve.
This apartment was well-located with easy access to everything. The listing and photos accurately reflected this lovely, comfortable, spacious, and clean space on a quiet street. It had everything we needed and contactless check-in was simple. Gianluca was very responsive and checked on us regularly to make sure we had what we needed. I highly recommend.
Best Florence Accommodation lives up to its name. The apartment is large and spacious and accommodates 6 people comfortably (as long as you share beds). It's convenient to everywhere you'd want to go in Florence, but the street isn't loud. Check in was easy and the owner and his manager were very communicative. The apartment features a binder with so much useful information, but the owner was always available to provide more. We couldn't recommend it more highly.Be sure to have a sweater with you. We were there in late May and the apartment was still chilly - old building, first floor, not a lot of sun to warm the place up. But that's a minor thing for such a wonderful place!

Family Vacation
Traditional Italian apartment, Our family enjoyed our stay in Florence, disappointed that it had to come to an end. The apartment is tight for 6 adults. Listed as a 3 bedroom but in fact the 3rd bedroom is the pullout sofa in the living area. The 2nd bedroom is small and not easy to get in and out of since it is against the wall, but it does have the attached bathroom as a bonus. Outdoor patio was a plus, wish there was a dryer.
The checkin and checkout process was easy and the host was very accommodating.
Check in was a breeze. Daniel, who helped manage the property, met us right at the door when we arrived. Gave us a tour of the house and pointed out all details. He was readily available when needed.The pictures on the listing do not accurately show the space. It was spacious and very well equipped. The host was hospitable, providing so many pillows, and towels. In addition, laundry detergent and dish soap made the stay so convenient. Also provided additional power converters which came in handy. The beds in the bedrooms were the most comfortable we have had in an home rental. The sofa bed, wasn’t as comfortable but that is to be expected. The ample pillows made up for this. The street had some construction and wasn’t the nicest looking street in Florence, but the area was safe and quiet. It was right near the hospital which was a comfort to know in case we had any emergencies.Very clean, well equipped, great location, great communication.
Our host was amazing! There was an issue with one of the bathrooms before we arrived that we were kept informed of. We ended up moving our reservation back a day and everything was fine when we arrived. The apartment was a little musty but opening windows and running the three heat pumps took care of it. Both bathrooms were very nice with walk in showers. The location was excellent! We parked our car in a parking garage and never needed it. One of the nice finds was a breakfast restaurant called the Rooster Cafe. It was really nice. If you like avocado toast for breakfast this is the place to go. Also the end of October is an excellent time to visit Florence. We had no problems booking some tours or going to any of the sites we wished to see. Definitely would go here again.
Casa Pancanti is a clean, apartment with a perfect location. The owner has gone out of his way to make our stay comfortable and we had an excellent experience.
The unit has everything we needed including a dishwasher, a washing machine, excellent A/C a microwave and coffee maker. The owner provided a helpful pamphlet that even lists recommended restaurants, museums and transportation options. But best of all - the apartment is 3 blocks from the Duomo, 2 blocks from the Accadamae Museum, 8 blocks from the Uffizi Museum, 2 blocks from a really good restaurant (Zio Gigi) and 3 blocks from a small neighborhood market.
The beds are comfortable and low to the floor, but we managed
I highly recommend this owner and his apartment. Cannot thank the owner enough for all he did for us. I will stay here again if I travel to Florence again.
Overall we enjoyed our stay
The location of the property is perfect. Walking distance from many desirable restaurants, sights & attractions
Items that could have made our stay better:
We did notice a mildew smell in the apartment. It is an older building.
The mattresses on the beds were very low & on platforms. No box springs. This made getting in & out of the bed difficult especially for my elderly mother. We managed but it was uncomfortable & challenging.
We did appreciate the kitchen amenities. Being able to make a hot cup of tea on the morning with the kettle was lovely.
The new television worked wonderfully We were able to stream favorite shows from our Netflix account during down time.
First, the listing doesn't describe that check-in requires you pay 6 per person per night in cash up front, and also provide your passports. It was disconcerting and I felt like we were being robbed upon arrival until other travelers told me it's a real thing. So expect the room to cost something like 200 more for a family of 4 to stay a week.We loved the location, close to everything. There was a lot of ambulance noise in the front bedroom being next to the hospital. The back bedroom didn't have a working heat pump/air conditioner and opening the window to the courtyard let in an amazing amount of mosquitoes that ate us alive. Screens would have been nice, or a fan. The linens and dishes were adequate, but this is the sort of place where there's no coffee or sugar left for you unless the previous tenant left some. Everything was clean, we appreciated having a washer, and there was enough hot water.All in all, okay but not great.
