Great property
Everything was perfect at the property - comfortable rooms and a large living room with a nice kitchen and patio out back. It's about a 25 minute bus trip to the downtown locations. Figuring out the buses in Florence was a little challenging for a Canadian unfamiliar with Florence, but the property itself was in a very nice neighbourhood - a short walk to a couple of small restaurants and a grocery store.

Great stay
This place was wonderful very clean, spacious. If you want to be closer to Florence I would suggest staying closer it was a walk but found a wonderful place for breakfast on the way. The beds were very hard in case this will bother you but we were so tired at the end of the day it didn’t bother us. Parking is a plus and owner was very kind. If we visit again and don’t mind the walk we will stay here again there is also no dryer should you want one

wonderful apartment
The apartment is spacious and well appointed. The self check in was very smooth. The location worked well for us as it was more of a neighborhood than a tourist area. the only consideration would be that we did hear the neighbors (above and to the side) and the street traffic.

Nice appartment, short way to the city centre
We (6 people) stayed in the appartment in august 2023. The appartment has 3 full-size bedrooms with quite comfortable beds.
Apartment was clean and nice at check-in. Check-in was smooth with keys in key-box. Appartment is situated 20-30 minutes walk from the historical centre so location is spot-on to explore the city.
There are restaurants, caffes, gelateria, grocery shops - all in walk distance.
There is also a private parking place which is quite useful as there is no free parking in Firenze.
I would definetely reccomend the property!

Great location to truly experience Firenze
The first floor apartment was perfect for our elderly parents traveling with us. The hosts were most personable and easy to connect with using What's App for the seamless check in procedure to to general inquires with had during our stay. The beds were comfy and rooms spacious. The terrace was welcoming to enjoy the cooler mornings and evenings during our stay in the August heat. The kitchen and dining areas were equipped with all basic amenities - we even got to enjoy a "home cooked Italian dinner" one evening. The location was perfect to use local transit (Bus 14 rocks!) one does not need a car to experience Firenze and all the local sights. Easy access to two Trenitalia train stations to coordinate our days to explore the surrounding areas, such as Pisa. Overall. this property was beyond exceptional. Would highly recommend this apartment especially for larger families or groups of friends. Grazie mille to our phenomenal hosts! :)

We stayed in Florence for 6 nights our stay was very comfortable. The apartment had everything we needed and close to grocery store and bus stop. We checked in late around 11 pm and the check in process was very easy. The train station is about 20 min walk, not hard at all. From here we visited Venice, Pisa and Cinque Terre by taking the train. Our overall stay was pleasant and would use again if needed. Thank you !

Excellent apartment, close to everything in Florence
The apartment is well located close to the river, within walking distance of the city centre. Catching the bus is very easy and quick if walking is not your preference. The check-in process was seamless and the offstreet parking a huge bonus. There are excellent grocery stores close by making it easy to prepare your own meals. The apartment is very well equipped with everything you need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the apartment. The only minor point is that the mattresses in the third bedroom were particularly hard. This was really the only minor consideration in what is overall a fantastic and highly recommended apartment.

Wonderful apartment, beautifully furnished and well situated, not far from the centre of Florence
The apartment is tastefully decorated in very good condition, very clean, spacious and has all the amenities you would need. The linen and towels provided were clean and good quality. Air conditioning very necessary during our stay in July. We made use of the private parking but there is a bus stop outside the apartment which takes you in to the centre of Florence in 15 minutes. Supermarket, bakery and restaurants all within walking distance of the apartment. No improvements necessary and would happily stay there again.

Great experience
Apartment had everything we needed and our host responded quickly when we had a problem with the electrical service.
It is slightly off the beaten track and therefore a map of the area with things such as the co op grocery store marked out would have been appreciated. We arrived late on a Sunday evening and most things were closed. Bus service very convienient.

A beautiful apartment in Florence
Not only was this a beautiful apartment in great neighborhood in Florence, right at a bus stop, with neighborhood shops, pastcierrias, and a Coop Mercado!
The 1st floor (american) apartment was great for the three of us (Mia moglie, sua sorrella e mio) with bikes, a outside clothes drying area, and 3 very beautiful and very comfortable beds.
The B. Family (all 3 brothers) were extremely helpful and accommodating. Marco even took us (for a very reasonable price) to Ciusure outside Siena, for an all day visit to a local artichoke Festival.
I can't imagine staying in a better place with a better family.

4 jours à Florence
Pas beaucoup d'instruction pour l'arrivée, un des "hôtes" est arrivé une heure après notre arrivée et ne nous a pas donné beaucoup d'explication, car il semblait pressé.Nous avions des attentes sur le parking, les bus etc ... Mais c'est par nous-mêmes que nous avons trouvé les réponses qui nous ont pris n"anmoins beaucoup de temps. Par ailleurs, nous avons signalé à cette personne que la cuvette des WC était cassée, et nous avons également constaté qu'une des portes de douches ne pouvait pas se fermer, l'éclairage du salon était également d'efficient ainsi que l'éclairage de la plaque de gaz. Salon non climatisé, le patio inhabitable. Seules les chambres étaient convenables. Personne pour notre départ et faire un état des lieux. D'une manière générale, nous sommes moyennement satisfaits d'autant moins que le prix était plutôt élevé. Personne n'est venue pendant le séjour réparer la cuvette WC par exemple !!!!
