Fabulous Firenze location AND a view
This is a special apartment directly overlooking the Arno at the Ponte Vecchio. We loved to sit and watch the sunset over the buildings and bridges from the large picture window. This is hands down our most favourite area to stay; right in the action yet without any street noise except the distant pleasant chiming of the Basiica bells. Every comfort available for a short or long stay, from a welcome and not-to-common lift to a well equiped kitchenette, including generously supplied paper towels and coffee, tea and condiments for cooking. All spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and a washing machine! Marusca and Alberto were very communicative to queries and so welcoming, kind and knowledgeable for all the nuances of Florentine culture. Suggestions of awesome restaurants and where to get the best groceries was fantastic info and made us feel like locals. We can’t wait to stay again. Needless to say we loved it.

Lovely apartment, but communication lacking
This is a well-equipped apartment right beside the Ponte Vecchio. It is perfect for exploring Florence. We enjoyed our stay here and discovering the jewels of Florence. However, communication at times was lacking with one message taking 6 days for a response. When we checked in, we made arrangements to check-out at a given time. The host said she would meet us in the apartment then. We waited for 10 minutes and then had to leave to catch a train for our onward journey.

Good location. Lift worked well. Bed against the wall. Bathroom very dark and cramped.
We chose this apartment for its location. It doesn't get much better! Check in was excellent with lots of helpful tips about local services and attractions. The bed is against the wall which means either climbing over your partner or doing a "bum shuffle". Pillows were too thin for our taste. The shower cubicle is very small. Two out of three globes were blown in the bathroom making it very dark and us fearful of the third and final globe blowing. At least two other lamps in the apartment were out of service due to blown globes and many bathroom fittings were loose In short, a little more attention to detail would be good. That said, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment to other travellers.

Perfect apartment but lacking communication
This was a perfect apartment for exploring Florence. It was so easy to walk to most attractions and you are right in the thick of it. The apartment was clean and comfortable with all modern conveniences, including washing machine for those who are away for an extended period. However, we found that communication with the host was lacking with one message taking 6 days for a response. On departure, we had made arrangements to leave at a given time, but the host didn't arrive and we left 10 minutes after the arranged time because we had a train to catch for our onward journey.

Wonderful apartment in a great location
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this cozy apartment with a great view of the Ponte Vecchio. The location is fantastic with the Uffizi practically next door. The apartment is located on the 5th floor but there’s a lift that makes it a breeze. The living area has ample room and a large L shaped sofa, making for a comfortable place to rest during the evening. The bedroom mattress is quite comfortable as well.The bathroom is an odd location but we did not find this to be a hindrance. Just about everywhere you would want to go is walkable from this location. Our hosts were terrific and allowed us to check in a little early and arranged taxis for us to and from the apartment. We would not hesitate to stay here again if returning to Florence.

Perfect Florence Stay
This is the perfect cozy stay in Florence. The apartment was very clean and the host extreemly helpful. We took several of her recommendations and they all turned out fantastic. As everyone else had said though you can't beat the location of this as it is in the heart of everything.

Simply the best stay in Firenze
This property may be in the best location in all of Firenze. It literally a 1 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio. It has an amazing view of the bridge. The property is clean, extremely comfortable and has everything you need. Highly recommend it. Now, what made this stay even more incredible was that we were checked in by Marusca. We couldn’t have had a better check in experience. She has a larger than life personality that goes along with her unbelievable knowledge of the city. We truly feel that we have made a friend for life.

An amazing property with a wonderful host
My adult daughter and I stayed in this wonderful apartment and had the best time. It's right on the river and within walking distance of everything you might want to see or do in Florence (it's literally steps from the Uffizi). We showed up during a heat wave, so having an elevator and A/C was a relief. The shower is typical of others I've seen in Italy, in that it's pretty small. We didn't have any issues, but if you are a very large person it could be a challenge so just manage your expectations. It was very handy to have a kitchen to make some of our meals. Marusca was great at communicating before our arrival and gave us helpful tips about where to buy groceries, local restaurants, etc. She was also very responsive to my questions and even helped us get a cab to the train station. We would happily stay there again!

Why they chose this property

The apartment is on the Bridge Ponte Vecchio in the middle of the tourist area, but it is on 5th floor and it is very quite night and day.

What makes this property unique

You can enjoy one of the most beautiful monument of the world quietly standing in front of the window and the best sunsets.
