We absolutely loved our stay at this location in Florence. It is on the other side of the river which is a little quieter. The master bedroom is quiet but the front rooms do hear the street traffic. We overall loved this quaint apartment.

Our family of four stayed in this apartment for 5 nights, it was fantastic. We cannot say enough. It was in a perfect location and was wonderful to come home to after a day of sightseeing etc. When we go back, we will definitely book in again!!!

Apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable for our family of 3. Great location and very easy to walk to sites and around town. We loved being on the other side of the Arno for quiet, afternoon relaxation. Good restaurants, roof bar nearby was a big plus! Would love to visit again

I stayed here with my parents. We enjoyed the location so very much. Fantastic. The decoration of the apartment is also really cosy and tasty, we enjoyed sitting at home after long hours of sightseeing and enjoying watching tv. Cleanliness wise it can be better, all it needs is a professional deep cleaning after each stay. We felt like they cleaned the apartment very slightly not professionally before our checkin which was a little disappointment. Other than that I really recommend this apartment to everyone.

Amazing apartment to stay at in Florence. It's in a great location, right across from the river. The apartment is beautifully decorated and well appointed/clean.Sweetstay were always responsive and we appreciated Daniela's help in arranging an early morning taxi for us.

The place is good for a quiet and peaceful holiday. Not too close to the city center but it is still very convenient. Great food and service nearby. Very cozy to stay some time. Recommend to all.

My family of four (two adults, one teen, one tween) stayed here and were very pleased. It is a charming apartment with touches of quaint Italian living but with modern amenities. In reading prior reviews, I had some concerns prior to arrival (hot water issues, noise) but I can honestly say none of those things were an issue. All four people were able to take showers without hot water running out, all were able to charge multiple electronic devices at the same time without any power issues, and the apartment was quiet for sleeping. It is RIGHT next to Pitti Palace which was so convenient. During the day you hear the bustle of the area below but at night it quiets down. The location is less than a 5 minute walk to the Ponte Vecchio bridge, and the Ponte Santa Trinita bridge, which puts you right in the heart of the upscale shopping area. We walked to the Uffizi, maybe 10 minutes, the train station, 20 minutes, and the Galleria dell'Accademia (David). The A/C was a blessing and worked great and we used the washing machine several times. The only thing I will say as a word of caution is if you have mobility issues, you do have to go up three flights of narrow depth stairs, and in one room, the bathroom has steps up from bedroom. The shower there is very small, think phone booth size. So if you are taller than 6’ and/or a heavier individual, showering might be tough. But the other bathroom is quite roomy. Our host was great and communication was a breeze. Very pleased with stay!

Our family of two adults and two fully-grown teenaged children had a lovely stay at this flat in Florence. The location was perfect - a short walk to the Ponte Vecchio yet so much more quiet and peaceful than the busiest parts of town. We were never more than a 15-minute walk no matter where we wanted to go. The hosts were quite easy to communicate with and were very responsive to our infrequent queries. We would stay here again and would recommend it highly to any and all.

A short stroll down the street and over the Ponte Vecchio you can enjoy your time visiting world class museums, spectacular churches or go shopping. Relish delightful dining options in traditional Tuscan restaurants or search out the hottest new restaurant trends..... you will have a truly wonderful, relaxing place to call home while you are staying in Florence out of the hustle and bustle of the busier historic center. We highly recommend this apartment.

Great location, fabulous neighborhood- wonderful food, shops, Boboli gardens, Pitti Palace. Apartment is spacious. Our challenges occurred due to water heater going out twice; gas going out once; bed frame broke; TV cables unattached; noisy due to traffic on street, garbage trucks daily and no information about anything such as tricky front door locks. Issues were handled but occurred throughout our stay. Neighbors are helpful.

If you stay here be sure to clearly define in advance when you would like to check in. Some miscommunications for us led to much stress as we sat outside the front door blocking the sidewalk in the hot sun with many pieces of luggage hoping the greeter would bring the keys and let us in. After several pleas a back up greeter was sent over to let us inside. Also power surges occurred especially if a hair dryer was plugged in. The location was convenient. The apt was nicely decorated with a stylish kitchen and large bedroom.

Location is amazing for historic Florence. Spacious and a great launching pad. That said, it feels like you are renting from a company that bought too many units and isn’t keeping them up or providing great service. You book on VRBO, but then communicate & reconfirm multiple times with “sweetstay”, pay on a separate third party payment site, get greeted by a person who isn’t especially verbose / is not the owner, and then get support from a customer support line on WhatsApp that runs across their entire property portfolio & doesn’t reply. Sweetstay sends stern emails demanding payment before the due date / claims there were prior communication when nothing was sent. Floors were dirty, pots/pans broken, had to buy our own dish soap and sponges to do dishes, and the water heater broke multiple times (required manual reset). On the water heater, when I messaged the greeter he told me to contact sweetstay on their website (which one? VRBO? The payment platform?). When I contacted their support line, I got an automated response that it was after hours and someone would reply the next day - no one did for the remaining several days. Also, windows are broken / can’t open so it’s dark, there were ants / moths in the unit, and the tap water smells a bit like gas (possibly the fritzing gas water heater). Again, great location. But, it feels like renting from a faceless robot that is trying to minimize investment and service.

This apartment is absolutely stunning! We stayed here for the first few nights of our honeymoon and so glad we did! Amazing location (it is on the other side of the river and we felt it was less touristy and found some amazing restaurants!), and the automatic check in was very cool. The space had everything we needed, and was great for coming back to chill out before heading out for dinner. Super!

We stayed several places in Florence and this was our favorite. The location is a down a small street close Pitti Palace (as opposed to directly adjacent to any of the key historic sites) which was a nice respite from the overcrowding elsewhere in the city and is still very convenient. The apartment is spacious and really beautiful with plenty of natural light. There are quite a few stairs involved with accessing the space but this is common in the center. Our host has been simply the best host we had the pleasure to meet.

Not a good experience for us—no power or hot water

Not a good experience for us—no power or hot water

Although we read the info regarding the ZTL restrictions the guidance implied that we could double park to unload luggage. In fact we inadvertently entered the ZTL based upon this. The closest parking is a 10 minute walk. How can you do this if you have luggage or elderly or young travelers? You can’t! We had to hire a cab to drop our luggage off. Lorenzo was great to help but there are 3-4 flights of stairs to get to the apartment (with your luggage and elderly traveler). Next issue was no hot water in the apartment and no response for almost a day. Finally, the power went out! We only had on the apartment a/c and washer running. There were no instructions on limiting the washer. We first emailed the email provided to us. We finally got a hold of Lorenzo who directed us to the fuses which were outside the front door. We would have never found them and were in a pitch black apartment without a/c on a very hot Florence night. Two smaller issues were very uncomfortable pillows and not even a single coffee pod or directions on where to buy them or how to use it. Honestly just not a great experience at all. We’ve stayed at several VRBO’s and this is not one we would recommend. I am planning on requesting a partial refund due to no hot water and no power.
