Guests who need to travel within the ZTL zone by car to reach their apartment are advised to contact one of the private garages in the centre (the one nearest the apartment you are staying in) and obtain a temporary access permit. Upon arrival at the garage, guests must specify they need access for the ZTL and the garage will then note the vehicle’s number plate and forward it to the appropriate police headquarters.

Sadly Florence has become unmanageable but apartment was very nice

The apt was lovely. Very clean. But a few things where disappointing. The air conditioner in one room leaked like a sieve. We contacted the owner but nothing was done. Had to use our only towel to soak it up each day. The other air conditioner couldn’t shut off. The listing didn’t tell us it was on the third floor (6 flights) and it was a walk up there was no soap or hand towels or even a dis towel. The neighborhood had an array of amount of drunks at the doorstep each night. The step outside the bath room was not clearly marked and we almost killed ourselves. We had to contact her at the end of the trip to find out if we need to leave money for traveler tax. Had a funky smell in the living room. The apt is very roomy and there was a nice selection of tea and sugar. Beware of the washing machine. It is very difficult to open. The dining room was very nice. The mattresses were very uncomfortable. Almost felt like you were laying on a piece of plywood. Ilaria was informative at the beginning of the trip and gave us extensive direction on how to check in. Overall a nice place but need a little love and care

The property was well kept and in a great location. The half bath was a plus when staying with four people. Just know there are about 40 steps up to the apartment which was not a problem for us but may be for some visitors. Also only air conditioning in bedrooms which again was fine for us because our visit was in September and the weather was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this apartment for a wonderful stay in Florence.

The apartment has been renovated and is lovely (second floor, no lift). Two big bedrooms plus a sofa bed. Good a/c in bedrooms which helped in 40’ heat. Quite central, maybe a block or two off the nicer streets. Only downside was that communication regarding getting access was really late - like an hour before we were arriving late - and I had to do the chasing. Once inside, we were fine and there were good instructions left.

Excellent location, easy to walk to all sites and shopping. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

before arriving no communication from the owner, the day of arrival I had to call them several times to finally speak to someone who told me that it will be self check in.
We were sent a film where the location of the key box was badly indicated and in the box there was no key, I had to call back to beg them to send us someone to open it and show us the place, during this time we were in the street with children. the neighborhood is populated and two alcoholic people were fighting in the street.
The apartment was clean but there was an unbearable bad smell in the bathroom and in the apartment even if we were only there to sleep. My daughter was nauseous from this smell!! The air conditioning was too noisy and my boy woke up at 3am with fear of an explosion and he woke us up. a terrible experience so I do not recommend this rental at all !!

Do not hesitate to stay here. The apartment was beautiful and just like the pictures. Walking distance from the train station and everything in Florence. Super convenient.
We had one hiccup during the stay, and the property manager was on it immediately. We thought there was a hot water problem, but it ended up being one electrical outlet went out which made the hot water and all the power go out. There was an electrician there within the hour and they were super fast and efficient.
Everything was perfect from that point on.
Recommendation: The best restaurant we ate at was Zaza. I don’t care how long you have to wait we ate there twice it was so good. Get the truffle ravioli.

The property is at walking distance from train station. Main attractions including duomo, shopping areas, coffee shops, and restaurants are easily accessible with in minutes of walking. Facility is secure and one has to go thru three different locks to access the apartment. We had issue with the availability of hot water. We could get hot water for only 2 days out of our total stay for 4 days. We tried to contact the management multiple times and their response was poor. It took 2 days for the owner to fix it but afterwards we started having fuse issue while using other appliances including electric tea kettle. Using tea kettle blew the fuse. This was very inconvenient. Otherwise, the apartment is comfortable, bright and airy and well equipped with appliances, tea bags, coffee, sugar and other condiments etc. other than inconvenience with hot water issue we liked the place.

Property was comfortable and conveniently located. Nicely appointed. Basic supplies, like bathroom paper, trash bags, dishwasher soap, spices, laundry detergent were greatly appreciated.

The apartment is very centrally located (you will hear some street noise). We loved that we could walk just about anywhere. We enjoyed the large apartment after a busy day in the city.

It was up a couple floors, and it was roomy and had all we needed for our 3 day stay. The handheld shower leaks and needs to be repaired.
4.0
Property was as shown in the description and photos. Large rooms (living room was a little on the small size) and well ventilated.
The wi-fi worked well and the property manager was responsive when we mentioned one of the shower heads was missing.
The location was very close to San Lorenzo area about two block from the Central Market. Lots of stores and services were close by but there was also the noise associated with being in a busy commercial district. The windows did a pretty good job of cancelling out the noise from the street.
3.0
It’s a lovely place. Well appointed. A couple of things should be mentioned in ad. 4 flights of stairs and no elevator and 2 bathrooms is actually 1.5 because there aren’t 2 showers. Apartment can get warm as there is only AC in the bedrooms. Check in is entirely done by self. No contact except by message.Location is close to the market which is good but the area can be a bit sketchy with people often hanging around front door.

We enjoyed the location of this rental property. It was very convenient to the train station and to most of the sites. It had 1 1/2 bathrooms which was nice for getting ready, nice size bedrooms and a huge kitchen. The only downside was the air conditioner is only in the bedrooms. We were there during a very hot time and spent most of our time in the apartment in the bedrooms to cool off.

Fabulous Location + Flat
Great centralized location, very easy for walking or connecting with both train and bus. Fabulous!
Check in process turned out to be self check in which is perfect.. But we didn't know that until 2 hour wait and activating international calling plan to connect with host (who was completely charming). Once we had keys, it was Magical!

Great stay!
This is a great place to stay in Florence! It has a great location and was fairly close to everywhere we wanted to go. The apartment itself is really beautiful - our only complaint is that the AC was not working well. It was extremely hot at night, but that was the only downfall.

The communication from our host was excellent. They reached out every step of the way to make sure we had landed at the airport, reached the apartment and that we were able to get in. The host sent detailed instructions with a video on how to get the keys and enter the apartment. The unit was very clean and looked just like the pictures on the website. It is located very close to all of the tourist spots. We would highly recommend this property.

Excellent location in relation to the tram and train station. Neighborhood is full of grocery shops, restaurants and the Mercato Centrale and other important monuments abd museums such as the Duomo, Di Medici capella and the Palazzo. 20 minutes walking from ponte Vecchio.

Beautiful Apartment, Great Location.
The apartment is less than a 10 minute walk from the train station and is a few blocks from the Central Market. Ilaria met us at the apartment and was very helpful. The ceilings are very high and the apartment is large. Everything was clean and in working order. The master bedroom mattress is very firm. We would gladly return in the future.
