Excellent Base
The apartment is in a great location, being south of the Arno and away from the crowds. It is, however, within easy walking distance of all the major “sights” of Florence.There is a “fruit and veg” shop next door and a bottega and trattoria directly opposite. It is a few minutes walk from the south side of Piazza Santo Spirito. Two superb gelateria are also only a couple of minutes walk away. The local area has a wide range of individual shops.The apartment was very comfortable with plenty of storage space. There is nowhere to sit outside, but the Piazza S.S. is a couple of minutes walk away, with seats and cafes.

Just Fantastic!
My wife and I stayed 4 nights. The apt itself is great, and the location is just perfect. We ate most of our meals within a few blocks and were never disappointed. Between the gelato shop 100m to the right, and everything in santo spirito square, we could have spent the entire trip in tbe neighborhood!

Nice place
Liked it very much. The kitchen, etc., seemed badly neglected, although functional. If the host could put a little more effort into lighting, cutlery, basic cooking items, the apartment would take a leap forward. But, I must say, I liked the apartment nevertheless.

Perfect location
We loved the cozy, cottage, Tuscan inspired apartment. Great location, we walked just about everywhere, great restaurants, shopping, and close to major sight seeing areas. One of our favorite apartments to stay at while in Italy. We also appreciated the wonderful, comfortable bed and A.C. units after our long summer days exploring Florence.

Highly recommended and would stay again
First and foremost Graziano, the host, was incredibly accommodating about us arriving outside the check-in window and went above and beyond to meet us that night as well as provide resources for us during our stay. The property is very charming and the location cannot be beat. You are within walking distance of everything you could want to see. If we return to Florence we will definitely be looking to stay here again. 10/10. Thanks Graziano!

Amazing place to stay
Wonderful property, strong water pressure, air conditioning worked great and comfortable bed. Perfect location to walk Florence. I stayed for 5 nights while visiting my daughter. A little market is next to the apartment entrance, they sell fresh fruit and bottled water. 3 cafes are within 50 yards and they were all great. I definitely recommend the property!!

Great apartment, great neighborhood
I really liked the apartment and found it to be clean and as advertised and the host to be friendly and helpful. I especially liked the neighborhood with good restaurants and a lively square in front of the Basilica di Santo Spirito. If it is open while you are there, don't forget to visit the Basilica and pay th 2 euros to see the Michelangelo crucifix and the Three Dinners fresco.
