Clean and Comfortable apartment

Nice apartment with private outdoor space. Short distance from the Ponte Vecchio up a little hill. Had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. Comfortable beds and living/ eating area. Washer dryer in the basement was a bonus. We parked our car in a paid garage nearby.

Property was spacious and close to areas we wanted to see but far enough away that it was quiet. Owner responded quickly to any questions. Having two bathrooms was convenient.

Great Location and King Size Beds

Perfect location within walking distance of the major sights, The apartment is located in a building from the 1700’s, so it’s quirky. The kitchen is tiny but functional, gas range. The patio is nice and opens out from the back bedroom. There was room to hang clothes. The showers was small, but the hot water was plentiful. The host let us check in a bit early and leave our luggage for a bit after we checked out. Trash was inconvenient, it had to be taken down the street down three sets of stairs. It is best to take it down when you are leaving the house to sightsee for the day. Grocery store and restaurants are close by. The apartment was comfortable and the beds were great.

A nice apartment in a great location

We were very happy staying in this apartment. It was a nice, cool refuge from the heat of August. The location was perfect. A quiet area just across the Ponte Vecchio.

Très bien situé ! Un peu sombre

Nous avons passé un bon séjour. Appartement super bien situé, proche des commodités, des musées et du centre ville animé. Terrasse sympa. Climatisation c'est appréciable en août. Quelques bémols : l'appartement est sombre. Le propriétaire a dû intervenir pour remettre un wifi performant.

Cozy and quaint

There were 5 of us- 4 adults & a 14 yr old, who slept on the pull out sofa. They had clean sheets for the pull out, but only an old, dingy blanket for a coverlet/duvet. That was dissappointing. The sheets overall were also very rough- maybe 250 thread count. Patio would have been amazing to sit out on if it hadnt mostly rained. Otherwise, it was a bit tight for us all, but we only stayed 2 nights so it worked short term.
