We liked the location - walked from train station and walked to museums and other areas of interest. Also was on a quiet street in a quiet building.
The unit itself is small for four people. The second bathroom was a sink and toilet only and those barely fit in the room. The main bathroom therefore was used for showers for all four people. The living area does have a couch and a bookshelf but not much space. No space for four people to congregate unless we all sat on the same couch in a row. The kitchen was serviceable but also small with four people wedged into a table pushed up against a wall.
Main bedroom did not have a door so any sounds from any activity in other parts of the apartments drifted in.
The heat is not ideal. A central thermostat but with registers in the main bedroom and by the front door resulting in uneven heat distribution. The main bedroom was hot and the other bedrooms were cold.
Check in and communication were great. Very clear and responsive.
The apartment met our most basic needs.

Very cozy apartment with all you need to have an enjoyable stay in Florence. The location is very close to the Central market, shops, restaurants, major sites and train station. If you're looking to stay in a convenient Florentine neighborhood, this is the place! I would highly recommend this property. Rosy and Marco were the perfect hosts.

The suite is well situated and close to restaurants and store. Nice quite neighbor hood.
Good communications with Rosy. Met us at the suite when we arrived from Rome.
We could have used extra towels and sheets .Because we were there two weeks and it rained a lot doing laundry became an issue.

Place was nice and clean and easy to get to all locations from. 3 of us were able to spread out. Nice to have the little court yard as we were there during a heat wave.

Off the beaten path but a 15-20” walk to train station and major churches and museums. Grocery store at end of street. We used the washing machine and there is a big folding rack for drying. Bed was comfy could use softer sheets and the hot water shower was iffy depending on time of day. Rosy was an excellent communicator and the fan and AC worked very well. Staying here gave me a real sense of what living in Florence would be like.

The apartment is in a great location for access to all the sights of Florence.
It is quite a dark apartment, being on the ground floor, which was fine with us as we were out all day sightseeing and only back during the day once.
The courtyard, although being overlooked by other flats and receiving limited sunlight, was a nice space to relax as long as the air conditioning unit was not on as it was extremely hot weather when we were there. All the facilities were as described.
My son left his laptop charger which the owner confirmed was at the apartment but did not follow up when I requested for it to be posted at my cost, which is unfortunate because all correspondence up until this was excellent.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment! The layout is fantastic with the open terrace in the middle. My wife and I really enjoyed spending our nights out there and our kids loved sleeping in the loft.
The check-in was a little problematic in that I couldn’t get my phone working internationally right away so when we arrived at the apartment and no one was there to check us in, it was stressful but it all worked out in the end.
The location is nearby all the attractions and we had no trouble getting around. A big plus for us is that there was a playground right around the corner. We would definitely recommend this apartment and hope to return in the future!

We loved the property - it was a place I could imagine staying in for a long while. The garden patio was a lovely scene in which to relax and enjoy nature in the middle of Florence. The location was optimal, being quite near the Academy. The apartment was spacious and very clean. We loved it there! Thank you!

The apartment was exactly as it was shown in the pictures. Check in was easy and everything about the apartment and surrounding area was nicely provided for in a book. The terrace was lovely, beds were comfortable and bathrooms were perfect for 3 women. Very easy walk to main attractions and train / bus station where we met up with all our tours . Host was easily reachable if we had a question . Would definitely stay here again should I be lucky enough to return to Florence .

Rosy very kindly allowed us to check in a bit early. We only had one night there but it was lovely. Sat out on the patio listening to the raindrops. So quiet and peaceful. Right by Mercato Centrale. Nice neighborhood with a variety of ethnic restaurants nearby. Would definitely choose to stay there again.

Very nice and clean 2 bedroom apartment on the ground floor which was very helpful for my mother. Great proximity to most of the great sights in Florence including the amazing Mercato Centrale. What a market. Our hosts Rose and Marco were very helpful and kind. Would love to stay there again if and when we get a chance to return to Florence.

We had a very comfortable stay. The place was clean and well kept. Also the courtyard was great for a little outside space. It was the perfect set up with one queen bedroom and the other having the 2 twins with one in the loft was perfect for me an my son for a little extra privacy. I would definitely stay again.

The courtyard is amazing! Loved everything except the bedding. The bed was nice and firm but the sheets and pillow could use an upgrade.

Charming traditional apartment with courtyard
The apartment was perfect for our family of 4. Super charming and well equipped with everything we needed. It really does stay cool without air-conditioning. A quiet street, easy walk to everywhere. Definitely recommend it!

wonderful apartment
clean, quiet and comfortable. It was very hot in Florence when we were there but the apartment stayed a comfortable temperature. The courtyard was a quiet and comfortable place. The apartment is about 10 -15 min walk from most major attractions. We stayed here 4 nights, we have 2 teenagers, it was perfect for us.
4.0
This lovely home is located just a few blocks from most of Florence’s main tourist sights, train station, mini market and eateries. It was easy to navigate through the neighborhood of mostly locals. We discovered some notable restaurants named: Royal India, Paoli and Amalfi Pizzeria. Our host Rosy responded quickly to our needs and her home is spacious and cool, as the days were fairly warm the week we travelled. The courtyard is stunning with its lively plants that make you forget you’re in a busy city. It’s a must to walk the streets around the Duomo in the evening when Florence’s beauty sparkles at night. A small tour to the cities of Cortona in Tuscany and Assisi in Umbria were fantastic (see Viator). All in all, we had a lovely visit in Florence with San Lorenzo as our haven to rest and recharge.

The pictures of the apartment really do not do it justice. It is extremely cosy in a classic Italian style and it is clear the owner takes great care of it. Often one sees the same decoration and Ikea items wherever one goes these days but not so with this property. It is tastefully yet uniquely decorated which gives it character without making a visitor feel like they've imposed on someone else's home. Conveniences such as heated towel racks have been added. We visited in November and I was surprised and impressed at how well the apartment held the heat. We never felt cold even in the middle of the night. The location is perfect for exploring the centre of Florence. One can reach the Ponte Vecchio within 10 to 15 minutes of flat, easy walking. The building is very quiet, the only noise we heard from neighbours was a classical musician practicing which somehow fitted with our trip (and even then she / he practiced only during appropriate hours). The communication from the owner and her representative was crystal clear, accommodating and timely.
