Great location near our son in Florence. Emma was very respnsive when we could not get hot water and told us to fix it. I would recommend and stay here again.
This spot allows a quick commute to restaurants, cathedrals and museums and with the right size
group, you can grab a bottle of wine and finish off the night in this spacious and comfortable apartment and continue to soak up the atmosphere of Firenze.
The apartment was comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. The location was perfect. It would have been nice to have more pillows and towels.
Also more hooks to hang toeless and clothes.
Beautiful renovated apartment in historic building. The only negatives are the flights of stairs to navigate, 3rd sleeping area is just an open loft and per person tourist tax that wasn't communicated until we had been there 22 hours. The apartment was clean and well done overall.
The VRBO is conveniently located within walking distance to all the Florence downtown scenic historical attractions. It should be noted a city tax per person, per day will be required to be paid to the hostess during stay. Also just prior to the stay we found out the washer wasn’t working and wouldn’t be fixed until we left. Overall though a very comfortable VRBO and would recommend to stay while in Florence.
My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and absolutely loved it. The location is fantastic and very walkable, and we loved the look and design of the room itself. I only had one small issue. We specifically booked this location because it included a washer and dryer but we were informed at the time of check-in that the washer was out of service. It's a very minor issue but it was inconvenient because we packed less clothes with the intention of cleaning them. Still, we would absolutely stay again.
Very happy with the apartment. It was in an awesome location, walkable to all attractions. Nice to stay in a more traditional building.
We were in Florence during a very hot time in July, and the several ACs in the apartment kept us cool. It would have been very warm otherwise.
Apartment is quite open with one bedroom in loft, and 3rd bedroom with own bathroom, but low ceiling. So loft bedroom doesn't have much privacy.
We were thrilled with this property! Excellent for a family of four. There was more than enough space for all. Large bedroom with closing door on the main floor along with a large bathroom on the same floor. The other large spacious bedroom was a loft, so it opened to the rest of the unit. There was a smaller bedroom with no door and very short ceiling. It had a single bed and on suite bathroom. The laundry room was also accessed through this small room. It was strange to have laundry and bathroom access off this one tiny room, and disruptive to the person sleeping here. The property was very clean and had fresh remodeled bathrooms. Loved it! The kitchen was nice, although we didn't actually do any real cooking. Just boiled a pot of water for pasta and reheated a pizza. It had everything you could need for cooking and eating if you wanted. This is a walk up unit, so be prepared to carry your bags up flights. It is located within a reasonable walking distance of many sights. An excellent location! Plenty of restaurants close by and a great breakfast cafe at the end of the street and around the corner. Check in directions were very clear and easy to access lock box with the key. Excellent wifi in entire unit. If you plan to use public transportation make sure to plan your route. After being in the city a few days we realized there was a better way to return to our rental car lot than the initial route we took in to the city center. Highly recommended! Stay here!
The space is 3 flights up. It’s beautiful and worth the climb. The apartment is a duplex with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms , kitchen and washing machine. The location is amazing: around the corner from Santa Croce Church— tons of restaurants, shops. 15 minute walk to the train station. It was a great location and gave us lots of space to relax at the end of the day.
We loved staying in this wonderful location in the heart of Florence. It was a short walk to everything and everywhere we wanted to go. Traveling with three young adult children, having three bathrooms was an absolute godsend. Our host was very helpful, responsive, and accommodating. I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful property and will try to stay here again the next time we are in Florence.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Great location, not adequately cleaned, poorly stocked (no soaps), living room furniture is quite old and not clean. No coffee table.
This house was beyond incredible and the pictures do not do it justice. Amazing location in the center of Florance and an overall fantastic experience for our family. Only regret is that we didn't get to stay here longer!
The only thing I would strongly suggest would be some kind of doors for the two upper bedrooms
The sound and light travel to both of those. Obviously the loft would still be partly open but even a lined curtain would assist those sleeping there The place is great !
This was my second place in Florence, and was our absolute favorite!!
This was my second place in Florence, and was our absolute favorite!!The house was beautiful and perfect for our needs. We were picking up my daughter from university and this house was close to everything we required. Need an affogato? Just around the corner!! Host was so kind to let us store our 9 pieces of luggage early. Warning: there are many stairs!! But do some squats and no problem. I plan to go back and stay here in a year or 2.
