Great location, some improvement needed
Spacious and clean. Kitchen has nice cabinetry and utensils. Dimly lit; needs brighter or more bulbs. Shower needs better door or curtain setup to prevent leakage, plus soap/shampoo holder. Hand soap at all sinks, and paper towels in kitchen would help. Nice fluffy bath towels. Great location.

The apartment was great. It is very spacious and super convenient to everything. There is no parking except in pay garage. But that worked very well. It is city living so I was surprised at steep stairway up. The location makes up for any surprises.

Apartment was great very large plenty of room for all. In good neighborhood plenty of stores. Restaurants an close to Veccio Bridge an accompanying area, even for Grams on cane it was slow going but we made it. Do your homework on transportation ranges from $20 to over a $100 for same ride. Bus stop across the strert but we had no clue how to use it all in Italian. We had an amazing time.

Huge apartment
Our stay was very nice in Florence. Close walking for everything. Bus stop across street. We walked everywhere. There is a great pub right next door and an exceptional little pizza and sandwich shop across the street. The food was excellent, the owner was very friendly and the prices were very good.

Excellent apartment and location
The apartment was really cleaned, with a lot of room and very well located with access to main landmarks. Close supermarkets. I would go back to this apartment if going to Florence. The only thing I would suggest is to have the AC checked up since they were liking and were not cooling enough considering the summer temperatures

Parfait
Un logement très propre et bien situé. On est à quelques minutes de marche du Doumo et autres. Bonne communication avec notre hôte. Si j’avais un petit conseil à faire, ce serait d’installer un miroir dans la petite salle de bain. Il y avait un minimum de vaisselle .je recommande fortement.

Centrally located and spacious flat in Florence.
The flat we rented fully corresponds to the one advertised. It is well maintained (renovated in 2017) and clean. We were comfortable. Totally recommendable. The house is cool and the air conditioning is not always necessary. The beds are very comfortable. In my opinion, some things could be improved: the kitchenware is a bit scarce. The coffee machine is very small, it only allows you to fill one cup. The lighting is very cold with white light bulbs all over the house; in the living room and in the master bedroom there is a lack of an additional reading lamp. I also think a couple of extra armchairs are needed in the living room. Overall, the experience was very satisfactory.

Location location location
We picked this hotel specifically for its location. We were arriving by train and did not want to lug our luggages on the water taxi. This hotel is mere 10min walk from the train station. It was convenient, close to food and short walk to any restaurants on the canal. Granted, it’s a 30min walk to San Marco but we didn’t mind (could’ve taken any water bus but we opted not to). And upon leaving the bus to the airport was right outside the door The room is spacious and most importantly, the AC do get cold.

Great apartment!
The apartment was lovely and perfectly located to access all that Florence has to offer. Communication with the host was great. The only caveat I would offer is that it does not have an outdoor space as indicated in the listing. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

Great place to stay
Large flat in a great location. There is a steep staircase to get to the apartment. The hosts were easily reachable and allowed us to drop our bags early, so we could explore the city. Internet worked well once I figured out which extension I needed. Air conditioning kept the place comfortable in Florence’s crazy summer heat. An overall great place to stay. Just a side note- while walkable, I highly recommend taking a taxi from the train station to the apartment as the streets are crowded and hard to drag suitcases over. Taxis are hard to come by in Florence if not near the train station, so give yourself plenty of time to get out of the city.

Excellent location for exploring the city
This apartment was in the perfect location for exploring Florence! The host gave us very clear check-in instructions and it was easy to find. We ate meals out, so I can’t comment on how well the kitchen would work if you were cooking. The bathrooms are tiny, but that is expected in a city apartment. As others have pointed out, if you stay in the room with the stained glass window, the neighbors sometimes forget to turn off a light that will shine very brightly all night long. However, I reached out to the host who was able to get it turned off for us. Read the fine print when booking because when you check out you need to leave 5.50€ per person per night. Your reservation will not show this and I had forgotten this information and was scrambling for Euros our last morning. Our only issue was that the lockbox for the front door was hung so high, that my short mother could not reach it, so we couldn’t leave the keys in it on a daily basis. If you are under 5’5” tall you will not be able to reach it. Otherwise, I highly recommend this as a very convenient location in Florence.
