Location was great, close to everything and not hard to find, after we realized we were on the wrong side of the street. Only downside, didn't feel comfortable opening windows and shutters. Could have been user error but hard to secure and unsecure.
This apartment was small but had everything necessary for a wonderful stay in Florence. It’s right in the heart of things and easy to get everywhere by foot, including the main train station. Perfect communication and easy stay. Terrific place!
Easy to communicate with! A 6 min walk from the train station, all the necessary amenities. Thank you!

Great location - mediocre accomodation
We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location was great- close to the train station and the piazza - everything was fairly close. There was a lot of shopping and a grocery store was only a few blocks away.
The host was helpful, but forty five minutes late to let us in. There were no kitchen hand towels to use and only a quarter of a roll of paper towels to dry your hands. The bathroom floor around the shower was a little grimy in the corners and the shower drain itself was slow.
Overall it was okay, and a good price for the location. Just needed a little extra attention.
The location of the apartment is near everything, less than 10 min walk from the train, 5 min walk to the Duomo, etc. The bed in the mezzanine is a king and very confortable, we did not use the bunkbed, everything is clean and works perfectly. It is in a second floor. The only thing is that there are no ilumination in the staircase so you have to use the lamp of the phone. Also, there is an elevator that you can use to move your luggage. Really good option

Great location, small apartment
We booked this place in a bit of last minute, due to the Air BnB we booked months in advance cancelled us a week before we left for Italy. We stayed in Florence for NYE and NY day 2020. This apartment was in an absolutely fantastic location. It is 5 min walk from the train station and 2 min from The Duomo. This apartment is up 2 flights of stairs but has an elevator (lift). Check in was great. There was a person there when we got there and checkin was quick and seamless. WiFi was marginal and spotty, shower was small but useable, laundry was painfully slow, but was there. Windows opened to a semi quiet alley. When I booked, it appeared by the listing there was a bedroom and a loft. After the place was booked and paid for, the owner informed me that the rental was just the main apartment and the loft, and our party slept on 2 sofa beds in the living room and beds in the loft. Not sure if I misread or the ad was not very transparent, but renter beware and know what you are getting. Overall nice place because of the location and we were thankful to have it over the Buon Ano holiday.
excellent location

one night in Florence
Loved the location, easy access to restaurants, shopping, sight seeing. Super flexible with us regarding check in time, which we appreciated, in spite of a little language barrier. One bathroom shower, only cold water.
Great place!!

GREAT LOCATION
The apartment is in a great location. What surprised me the most was that it was quiet even though the apartment is on the first floor and facing very busy streets. The air-conditioning worked great and there was plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Management was easy to work with.
There were a few minor issues which have been noted by other reviewers so I won't mention them here.

Splendido, meglio dal vivo che nelle foto
Buongiorno Gianluca,
grazie ancora per l'ottima ospitalità che ci avete riservato nel vostro bellissimo appartamento.
Abbiamo trovato tutto perfetto, a cominciare dalla posizione fino ai dettagli, assolutamente sopra le nostre aspettative.
Consiglio a tutti di soggiornarvi ed a voi però di cambiare le foto, mi pare che quelle attuali non rappresentino bene la bellezza e la particolarità del luogo
Cordialmente
