Simply Stunning Florence Stay!
From the moment we arrived at the door we was met warmly by the hosts of this truly stunning apartment, Ilkay & Ayla. They both were so welcoming and very proud of their magical roof top apartment which dates back to the 12th Century. This apartment does not want for anything, it has been renovated with great care and everything you see and touch is of superb quality. Everywhere was beautifully clean and not a speck of dust to be seen anywhere. There is so much space on offer - the lounge seating and the superb large bed are extremely comfortable with lovely bedding & pillows too. The location is within 100m of the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge but is also very quiet and peaceful. The views from the lovely balcony are exceptional - positioned overlooking the river and the Duomo is also less than a 10 minute walk door to door. Our hosts Ilkay & Ayla were very very helpful in providing recommendations of good restaurants and advice in assisting us with transportation from the airport on arrival and the central train station on our departure. Our visit to Florence was part of our Honeymoon - when we booked via the HomeAway site I had mentioned very breifly that we was on a special holiday (that was back in early February) - nothing more was mentioned or said. When we arrived we was blown away by both Ilkay & Ayla’s thoughtfulness & generosity as they had so delightfully decorated the room (see pictures in the gallery) with 20 red balloons, and provided a lovely tray, which had a bottle of sparking wine, chocolates and Bride & Groom glass decorations - truly a fantastic and amazing surprise for us which we will never forget - we thank you both again from our hearts. If you want to have a stay to remember in the magnificent city of Florence with wonderful facilities, out of this world views of the river privacy and surroundings - look no further. This is the one for you!! Paul & Anna - Lancashire, England

Perfect place to experience Florence
This apartment was truly amazing for us. Let's get the obvious out of the way: the steps are something to be aware of. Choose your luggage appropriately for carrying up the stairs. Also, make it a point to stop for a spritz or cocktail on your way home (there are numerous wonderful places to choose from) to rest up for those stairs. You'll be glad you did. The location is ideal: walking distance to all attractions as well as incredibly close to all that is the Oltrarno. The hosts are incredible: great communication, perfect on both check-in & check-out, and very hospitable in terms of amenities. These are obviously people that understand having guests in the home as you will find all that you need is already in the apartment. The balcony: we loved this aspect of the home. We made it a practice to have a quiet glass of wine overlooking the activity on the Arno every night. Magical. Amazingly, you are this close to all the action and yet it is extremely quiet. With the windows closed the street noise disappears. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Fine centrally-located apartment with glorious rooftop view
Just a lovely experience. Situated on the less busy and more quaint side of the river, but only a short walk from all the famous sites. Lost of authentic restaurants and interesting stores in the neighborhood. Top floor apartment in a historic building, with high vaulted timbered ceiling, plenty of space, full kitchen and wonderful balcony with view over the rooftops across the river and towards the Duomo. Powerful air conditioning and quiet neighbors. One warning is the lack of an elevator: a bit of a workout climbing the three flights of stairs. Furnished in family and homey style. Landlord very communicative and responsive, especially when we locked ourselves out accidentally. Had a wonderful time and will come back.

Beautiful apartment with a great view
This apartment is spacious and very well equipped. It is located conveniently in the oltr'Arno, just across the Ponte Vecchio. There are restaurants and shops in the vicinity, and the Piazza Signoria is only a five-minute walk. The apartment easily accommodates a couple, with the possibility of one or two more guests (children) sleeping on couches or on the floor. Its open plan does not provide for privacy for a large group, however. It has a washing machine and dish washer, and two large screen TVs. I did not meet the owner, but he was accessible by email and text. His deputy met me and showed me around the apartment, and she was also very responsive to questions. The apartment is on the top floor (up three flights) of a 14th century building. It is lightsome and airy, and very quiet. Although it is air conditioned, I found I did not need to use it, because the cool breezes kept the apartment at a comfortable temperature. The only detail I did not discern from the apartment listing is that there is no elevator. I was very grateful to Devrim for carrying my suitcase up the stairs!
