Perfect location

This apartment was perfect for the location for major attractions that we were looking for. The bed upstairs had no sheets, the blankets on the beds need to be laundered - they stank! The apartment was filled with mosquitos from the bedroom window being left open. There was not even a light switch at the top or bottom of the stairs to turn on a light after dark. (the switch inside the door did not work) There was one on the 2nd floor that worked. For 3 people over 60 this was very dangerous. We missed that there was no oven in the apartment, no radio or TV. Utensils, pots and pans were sparce if you plan on cooking anything. The last minute booking worked well for a quick place to stay - once again great location.

Great spacious apartment

Great large apartment in super location. Easy walk to all points of interest. Steps from the Ponte Vecchio. Large balcony to enjoy when tired from sightseeing. Would absolutely stay there again.

Originell, zentral, gut ausgestattet

Die Wohnung ist echt schön, sehr typisch italienisch verteilt auf mehrere Etagen und mit teils superengen Treppchen verbunden! Das schönste Zimmer ist das "Turmzimmer", das aber leider mit dem Einzelbett nur begrenzt nutzbar ist. Die Dachterrasse ist dagegen sehr eingebaut. In dem direkt angrenzenden Haus ist gerade Baustelle (war kein Lärm), so dass sie eher uneingesehen ist, aber sie bietet (wie es auch in der Beschreibung erkennbar war) keinen schönen Blick. Die Lage ist allerdings wirklich optimal um die gesamte Innenstadt zu Fuß zu erkunden (die Ponte Vecchio ist am Morgen einfach am schönsten). Auch die Ausstattung war top, alles da was man braucht (incl. Waschmittel, Spülmittel, Salz, Pfeffer, Essig, Öl). Von Florenz selbst hatten wir leider nicht nur gute Eindrücke: es war etwas zu voll (August!), überall lange Wartezeiten und teils gesalzene Eintrittspreise. In der Innenstadt muss man lange suchen, um eine Eisdiele zu finden, wo man unter 6,- Euro ein Eis kaufen kann und den Turm vom Palazzo dürfen erst Kinder ab 6 Jahren besteigen. So gesehen war es mit kleinen Kindern nicht ganz optimal, was aber nicht an der Wohnung lag.

Better than expected

We were there during the recent record breaking heat wave and the location and air conditioning were a life saver, especially traveling with my 88 year old mother. Great check-in and check-out. Thank you!

Location, location, location

This apartment is in such a great location. You are within easy walking distance of the Ponte Vecchio bridge, the Uffizi, the Duomo and many great restaurants. It was so great to come out the front door and be right in the heart of the city. We experienced no issues at all during our stay and the apartment is as advertised. One room with the king sized bed is quite large, the other is normal size, and the room with the twin bed is a nice little hideaway loft. Having to walk up the last flights of stairs or the stair case in the apartment was not an issue for us. There isn't a lot of common space but who comes to Florence to hang out in the apartment? We felt extremely safe and it was within walking distance of the train station. We would stay there again.
