Beautifully updated apartment in the heart of Santa Croce

We LOVED our stay! The apartment was very well appointed, beautifully updated, and a wonderful location for all that Florence has to offer. Situated off of a quiet Piazza with a wine window, Santa Croce church and Piazza is just minutes away. We slept 2 children and 4 adults comfortably and would stay again.

Hideaway

The location was near to all the major attractions. It is tucked away so is a little secluded. The only issue we had was a renovation across the lane started very early in the morning. This wasn't something the host had any control over so once it is finished, it will be a very quiet location. Host was very responsive and the apartment was lovely, no complaints.

Beautiful spacious apartment in the heart of Florence

This apartment was lovely, super clean and spacious and had everything we needed. The host was responsive and attentive. The location was fantastic!Warning to those arriving to Florence by car... we did with a plan to return the car to the Airport. We wanted to drop the luggage at the apartment and asked for a location outside of the limited driving area (ZTL) to do so. Our host was helpful and offered a location however the GPS may have guided us onto a road we weren't supposed to drive on. I will patiently wait to see if the rental car company reports a charge in the next 6-12 months. This was totally my fault and hopefully we won't get a ticket but the ZTL is confusing with different zones and allowed times and this place is best accessed via taxi as they can drive in the ZTL. We were warned by our host so have a solid plan and be very careful where you drive. It is the price you pay to have the great location like this one!The walk to the train station took us about 15 minutes, the roads are bumpy and the crowds can be something in the middle of the day. We had a lot of luggage and gear so this was a bit for us. This is the case in all apartments in the heart of Florence. Ask the host for suggestions if you need them.We discovered for our day trip to Cinqua Terre that there is an alternative train station almost the same distance as Novella by foot that may have more direct lines to your destination to consider.Thank you for an amazing visit!

An absolute gem of an apartment in a fantastic location!

Wow, what a great apartment! Absolutely exceeded our expectations. The apartment was spotless, felt like it was brand new, and had the most perfect layout for our family of three, with each of us having our own bedrooms that were just off of the central living room. It was extremely comfortable, had great beds, plenty of supplies, full kitchen, and includes a washing machine. The location was absolutely fantastic - literally 50 steps around the corner the main street leading to Palazzo Vecchio in one direction and Santa Croce the other, the perfect location to walk to all the major sights in Florence with tons of restaurants and shopping all around. The apartment faces a quiet, beautiful residential street, so you hear absolutely nothing in the apartment and it's dead-quiet. Check in could not have been easier with a self check in code. The next time I'm in Florence this will be the first apartment I check for availability! Grazie mille!!
