Look no further if you are planning a trip to Florence and want a well appointed studio apartment. The location couldn’t be much better as it is close to the Belfiore tram stop (4 mins walking) that will get you anywhere you want to go in and around the Florence area. The terrace view is amazing and it’s facing west so the sunset (weather permitting) is gorgeous.

Guglielmo (host) was very responsive and communicated directions from the airport - this apartment is easy to access from both the train station and the airport. The apartment is very comfortable and quiet after a long day of sightseeing. The bed is so comfortable. The outside deck is gorgeous- we had some rain but we did enjoy the moments we had to go out and enjoy the view and sunset of Florence. There are grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance. We enjoyed our short stay.

The apartment was great - well-appointed with a huge rooftoop terrace! The host was super easy to contact and responded promptly and positively to every request for information - directing us to a local trattoria that was the best we had at half the price! He also suggested a great laundry service near by. The location is great! Nice quiet neighbourhood with all the services we needed but only 15 minute walk to the train station and 20 from city centre - or the tram just 100 metres away. Great host- great location!
