Simona was an absolutely amazing host. The check in process was seamless and the property was immaculate and well furnished. We had everything we needed. There was a notebook with lots of information about things to do, restaurants, where to shop/do laundry,etc.
I would stay here again without hesitation! Thank you, Simona for an amazing stay!

Very comfortable for a family of 4 with teens . Kitchen had enough to cook make coffee / tea otherwise a lot of eateries around the corner . It was a very easy stay thanks to Simona. We would definitely return if we return to Florence .

Book this Apartment, don't wait....This apartment is spotless, convenient to all the the Museums churches and sites. there are great sandwiches right around the corner and Simona gave us referrals for restaurants in the neighbor hood. She gave us instructions how everything works and I cannot say enough about this cozy apartment!
Also the beds were very comfortable and clean.

Simona’s place in the historic district could not be more perfectly situated for a visit to Florence. Within minutes you can walk to ALL the major sights. The neighborhood is charming, clean, safe and quiet even though it is around the corner from a very busy street with great cafes, restaurants and shops that is bustling until late at night. The apartment itself is clean, bright and airy, simply but tastefully furnished with comfortable beds, good water pressure and a well stocked kitchen. Wi-Fi was consistently reliable, washing machine modern and easy to use. Simona was a very responsive host and waited for us for several hours when we had issues getting there due to a railway problem. No down side here, we had a very pleasant stay!
5.0
Simona was excellent with communication before and during the stay. She gave detailed overview on check-in and in addition, she leaves lots of information including city maps and other details.
The location was excellent, 4 minutes from Uffizi and 10 from the Duomo. There was plenty around the apartment but it’s located one street back so it was nice and quiet. We only heard the distant church bells.
It was great having 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms which was perfect for 4 adults. The kitchen had everything we needed and the unit has a clothes washing machine and a drying rack. She even provided Netflix and cable TV.
I would definitely recommend this unit and it would be my first choice if I came back to Firenze!
5.0
The flat is just perfect. Totally updated with kitchen and bathrooms but retaining fabulous old world charm. So fun to imagine the lives there in years gone by. The location is absolutely spot on with important sites all within walking distance.
Simona was an exceptional host in many ways. A very thorough greeting and introduction to the workings of the flat plus above and beyond helping us with transportation during a transportation strike. Very much appreciated her professionalism and compassion. Loved our stay!!

Our host Simona was fantastic, communication was great, quick response and helpful check in instructions including how to get to the apartment. The property is exactly as described, clean and very comfortable for our stay. Simona arranged a taxi for our departure, held our bags for us as our train departed in the late afternoon.
I would stay here again and definitely recommend this property to anyone else visiting Florence. Thank you Simona

Pristine and centrally located apartment with the most comfortable beds. Thank you to our host who was the most welcoming and helpful we’ve ever had. She made sure we had a bottle of cold water in the fridge upon our arrival during a heat wave and helped us secure a taxi to the train station when checking out. 5 Stars for excellent service, a luxurious stay and beautiful city!

Everything was great from check in to check out!! Great communication with Francesca and Simona. Apartment had everything we needed. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom. It’s our 2nd time staying and we would definitely stay again!!

This apartment was perfect for two couples traveling together. It had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay and it was super clean. Both bedrooms have AC units which we used at night since it was so hot during our visit in July. The little extras like tea, coffee, desserts and nice soaps and shampoo makes it easy to feel like home. We appreciated the use of the new washing machine with detergent pods provided by the owner. The location is perfect and all the sights are easy to get to by foot. Because it’s down a quiet alley, you will get a good nights rest since it’s very quiet. Restaurants, coffee shops, and a grocery store are right around the corner. Communication and check in were easy and efficient. I highly recommend booking this place!

We enjoyed 5 nights in Florence and found this apartment to be close to many things we wanted to see and do. Within 15 minutes, we could get almost anywhere on foot.
Simona is a wonderful host and the apartment has everything you need - clean, well appointed bedrooms, a nice family room and eating area, and a kitchen that offers all the necessary items. Simona met us at the home for check in and personally showed us all the features and explained the area. When we had a question, she answered texts promptly. She even helped us arrange a taxi to the train station on our day of departure. It was like staying at a friend’s home. Even the hair dryer is nice!
I’m glad I met this lovely woman and hope to someday repay the favor of she goes to Chicago.
Ciao for now!

Host VERY responsive & helpful
Great location
Bathrooms updated & functional
Kitchen well supplied
A/C worked very well
Beds very comfortable
I would suggest some better seating in living room, difficult to relax on a daybed & enjoy
a movie.
I used Swifter on floors on our arrival….VERY DIRTY…..(I have pics)
I would suggest explaining to clients PRIOR to arrival that the heating & air conditioning are in place but use us restricted.

How lucky for us (2 couples) to find this place. Right near everything but quiet location. Our host was so easy to communicate with and met us upon our arrival. The place was gorgeous inside and everything was updated. Our regret was that we didn't spend more time in Florence. This place was perfect for two adult couples. We greatly appreciated the restaurant recommendations!

Very well located, clean, well appointed and comfortable apartment minutes from Uffizi. Simona was very helpful and considerate in the entire process. Two of us had the Simone unit and three others in our party had the Francesca unit across the hall so it was ideal for a group of 5. Would recommend this property heartily.

We spent three nights in the Francesca unit and it couldn’t have been more perfect! Great location, immaculate apartment and Simona was a very gracious and responsive host. More than enough room for us and our two teenage sons. Would definitely recommend!

This apartment was perfect for our 4 day/3 night stay. Simona communicated well for our arrival and met us at the apartment and showed us around. It's a very clean, sunny well-equipped apartment. Great kitchen, we used the coffee maker, electric kettle and washing machine (petite in US standards) no dryer but a drying rack and towel warming racks in both bathrooms. Both bedrooms were conformable and cozy & having two bathrooms were great. You can walk to everything from this apartment. Very quiet neighborhood. Simona answered all our questions, where to eat, what to see and she even ordered us an early morning cab ride to the airport. Would stay here or her other apartment again!
5.0
Our 5 day stay in Francesca was memorable. The location was unbeatable since it was steps away from Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi Gallery, Piazza DeLa Signoria and Piazza Della Santa Croce, but distant enough that it is quiet from the maddening crowd. Simona was very pleasant, accommodating, helpful and responsive. She helped with restaurant reservations and parking garage communication. It made our stay in Florence flawless from the 1st day. Water and cookies were also a nice welcome treat.
The apartment was very clean! This made me even more comfortable since I am obsessive with cleanliness. Even the glasses were spotless and the pots/pans/utensils were shiny clean. The 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment was very spacious and comfortable. They had everything we needed for our 5 day stay. I have stayed in many VRBO all over Europe, this is the most pleasant stay we’ve had. This makes me want to go back to Florence soon and stay at Francesca again! Grazie Mille Francesca and Simona! We will recommend your apartments to friends and family.

We stayed for one week at Simona’s apartment and it was great in every way. We most appreciated the thoughtful details that made the apartment feel like home. Simona communicated with us before our arrival and welcomed us warmly upon our arrival.
The apartment is in an ideal location to easily walk to everything, yet it is situated in a quiet street which made it perfect. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, and includes everything one could possibly need.
Simona checked on us during our stay and organized a taxi for us twice.
Thank you, Simona, for a wonderful experience in Florence!

This is the perfect apartment. The location is awesome. We were able to walk anywhere we wanted to go. The apartments is very nice. It was comfortable for the 4 of us. Simona is an excellent host. Communication with her was very easy both before and during our trip. We were able to store our luggage both before check in and after check out. I would definitely recommend this property and Simona as a host.

The apartment and our experience with Simona could not have been better, would give a 6 star review if possible! Half of our trip was spent with our college age children, apartment was perfectly comfortable for the four of us and of course conveniently located to everything. After the kids left and we spent a few days on our own it was the perfect size for just the two of us. This has been the best experience to date in all of our Vrbo travel. Cheers!

Beautiful apartment near Santa Croce Church and a few blocks from Piazza della Signoria which is perfect. We were greeted by Simona upon arrival who was very helpful. The apartment is very well equipped and comfortable . Kitchen though small, has everything you need . Very clean! Quiet also. We certainly had a wonderful time!

Simona is the best host! She manages two units across the hall from each other. In 2019 we stayed in the "Simona" unit with our boys and just loved it. The apartment was comfortable, clean, had all you'd need and was close to everything. We returned to Florence this year, with my parents, and stayed in "Francesca" unit. Again, it was perfectly appointed,.clean and made for a great home base. Above all, Simona is so easy to work with, responds promptly to any/all questions and makes the check-in/out process so easy. I'd highly recommend either unit if you are looking for great find in Florence.

We highly recommend this property.

We really enjoy staying at this amazing apartment. It was very well equipped with all necessary items. Loved how we had instructions to everything. Owner was very helpful with arranging taxi from train station and back. She was amazing enough to help us out with all the local stuff.
I would highly recommend staying at her place. It was in center of everything, walking distance to the best gelato and sandwich restaurants.
I will for sure stay here again when we are back in Florence. Thank you
