Edoardo and team were great. Location and historical nature of the place are amazing. Nice and warm during the winter. Older place, so some older aspects of the property as expected. I recommend this place!

Good location and clean. But upstairs very stuffy. Lack of ventilation.

Photos don't accurately represent the VRBO. It is MUCH smaller. The only access to any room, other than the "master" bedroom is very tight, iron spiral stairs. It is shown in a pic but there is no indication the other rooms are only accessible this way. We had grandparents with us who simply were unable to safely manuever this. Mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and apartment smelled of sewage. The bathroom on 2nd floor is a renovated closet with no separate shower stall. The hose to the portable A/C upstairs had been removed from the broken window and was inoperable. Main sitting area there was a large window which looked out onto a tiny patio. Neighbors looking directly at us and waving. No privacy. The door to the unit was propped open with a piece of wire. Contacted property owner/manager to discuss our dissatisfaction- told I shoulda known there were problems before I got there. How would i know about issues before arriving?. He advised me I should have known about mobility issues to which I responded there was nothing indicating that the only access to the bedrooms were through the unsafe staircase. He offered to bring me an air freshener. Asked to be relocated b/c safety and health. Was told it was my problem. Left the keys and found another place. Didn't refund my city tax of 180ish euros when asked. contacted vrbo & had to provide # bc # they had was invalid. Stayed there not even one hour, contacted both mgr and VRBO, no refund. Terrible experience.

First, off Edoardo was attentive and professional. We had a key issue, our fault, and he was quick and personally took care it!! The apartment pictures definitely do not show the size of the apartment, which is small with no windows. The beds barely have mattress's, the 2nd bathroom is so small that the toilet is in the shower, the main bathroom was dirty and tiny. The smell coming out of the this bathroom who rancid and anytime u opened the door it took over the apartment or at least the master. Great location with a Piazza on the next block but way over priced for what it is. I believe a large group runs this VRBO and they need fix the sewer and lower the price. More like a hostile!! Thx again Edoardo

The pictures on the sight were a little deceiving. The place was smaller than expected and the sewage smell was rough. Host did drop off a air freshener to help. Won’t stay there again. Location was ok.

The apartment looked much nicer on the pictures, but it was ok in person. The place was pretty clean, but the toilets smelled like rotten eggs the whole time. One of the shower heads was broken and sprayed water everywhere. One of the showers was super tiny. But maybe its normal for an apartment in the middle of the city. The location was pretty good. Walking distance to many places. The bed sheets were really nice!

It mostly fit the bill of what a party of 8 needed for our stay in Florence. Had enough places to sleep, even if a bit tight to maneuver in some places and you have to be comfortable going up and down small winding staircases. Very small kitchen but we weren't using it anyway. Nice to be able to wash clothes and hang them outside. But there are a few things to be aware of when renting. The beds could all do with an update as half of them you could really feel the springs. The upstairs bedroom that has it's own shower was a bit tricky. The swamp cooler that was up there needed to be emptied of it's water quite a bit, and while the owner was very responsive in trying to make sure it worked properly it took us quite a bit in figuring out how to make sure it could keep us cool without causing water overflow issues or a malfunction. It didn't help that it was a massive heat wave while visiting, but we got there. The bathroom itself is quite small, with the shower only having a curtain and a drain in the floor and a broken shower head. If you take really fast showers, it works fine. 7 of us then had to use the bathroom downstairs which was just a lot to juggle but it was fine. In all, a fine enough place to keep our stuff in while experiencing Florence. It's near a really hopping square that had live music the night we arrived, so a great location. But if you really need luxury, this place isn't for you.

We absolutely loved the location of this apartment. Santo Spirito was a wonderful neighborhood in which to start and end each day. The apartment itself had everything we needed, though the space is very small and tight. My kids *loved* the upstairs bedroom spaces. The ceilings up there are a little low in places for adults, though definitely manageable. It was nice to have such separate spaces within the apartment, though. We wished there was a little bit more in terms of basic kitchen provisions (at least some olive oil, coffee and tea). That said, we enjoyed our stay and the apartment definitely served us well for a wonderful stay in Florence.

Small place but great location and was perfect for a quick trip to Florence! They were flexible with our checkout time which was very much appreciated !!! Would definitely stay in this location again!

The check in host was in a hurry to leave without showing us how to work bedroom a/c. She mentioned that the keys to the 2 doors needed to be jiggled which was an understatement- it took me days to learn how to work them just right to open the 2 front doors. Luckily my son was able to work it and get us in. Sofa stained and floor fairly dirty in main room. Not very conducive to eating there.Shower and bathroom very tight and no shelves to place toiletries. Had to empty wardrobe of blankets to have any place to unpack suitcase. Small courtyard with washing machine, but clothes on drying rack open to rain and wet clothes on line hung from upstairs apartment. Beds ok but overall this is not much better than hostel. Little natural light and a true firetrap. Would not stay here again. Location is great.

Perfect for our family- we only stayed 2 nights which was perfect as the location was right in the heart of Florence. There was a restaurant very close and cafe around the corner. It had nothing for making a cup of coffee but the maker and no essentials except toilet paper and a few shampoo but for 2 days it was a perfect start to our 2 weeks in Italy. Very small bathrooms so not good if you are a big person.

It was generally nice and reasonably priced. We felt crammed in the bathrooms though.

It was a great stay! Perfect location, 15 min walk to anything in Florence! The host met us and showed us around the place. A little smaller than expected on the pictures, but we had a group of 5 20 some year old girls and it was perfect! Definitely recommend

Authentic Apartment
The rooms slept all of us comfortably. The room above the bedroom downstairs was perfect for our 18 year old. The older two slept comfortably in the other two upstairs rooms. I loved the frescos in the living room.

Great location and great size of property. Easy to locate property and communication with property owner was quick and easy. Opening the door was challenging with the key but once explained was easy to do.

Santo Spirito offered easy access to many sights in Florence. The accommodations comfortably slept 7. The apartment is on a quiet street but only minutes from most of what you need. Gracie!

Out of three nights we stayed, two nights were without wi fi connection. We had been interrupted many times, different tradespeople coming in and out. That process and checking the device should have been done before our arrival.
The kitchen is dangerously small for eight people to prepare meals, with electric kettle, toaster, coffee maker connected directly next to the sink on a very small space. This is a space for four people and not more!

The property was not very clean, there were used tissues behind curtains for example. Two of the beds were broken, one completely unusable, and we couldn't get hold of the owner to resolve the problem so we slept with an adult and two children in a bed so we all had somewhere to sleep.
The location is great, but to describe it as a luxury apartment is a far stretch.

Good location for this property however more maintenance of the amenities is required. The showers and beds are in need of attention. Both showers do not function well. The large downstairs bed needs replacing. Clean and tidy but not equipped. However, we did enjoy our stay.

Convenient Location & Quiet
We appreciated we could rent for just one night. The location is across from Tamero Pasta Bar one street over from Santo Spirito Square, and is very convenient. I slept on the sofa (comfortable) as opposed to climbing the spiral staircase above one of the bedrooms to a loft bedroom. My son and his wife took the downstairs bedroom, which has a bathroom ensuite. Our friend took the loft bedroom that had an ensuite. There's a small kitchen and a nice big living area. Be sure you check out on time. We went to the square for breakfast, and the cleaning crew had arrived before we returned. Our fault, but they were very nice. I think it's ideal for 2 couples in the 2 bedrooms with bathrooms. The loft bedroom and living room sofa would be fine for kids. It might be rather hard to negotiate the spiral metal staircase in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, which is why I chose the sofa. You'll also disturb the couple downstairs. So, conveniently, I'd say it sleeps 4, but it will sleep 6. Edoardo was excellent to work with. I would recommend the apartment, and we were very happy to stay there.

Bien pour un groupe de 6
Très bien situé dans un quartier vraiment sympa et proche de très bons restaurants. La cuisine est un peu petite mais on a réussi à faire un dîner pour 6!
La machine à laver est pratique et il y a un étendoir à linge.
Le personnel est très sympa et réactif.
Il est possible de laisser les valises pas loin de l'appartement si on part pas trop tôt dans la journée et c'est gratuit!

Great location in Oltrano
My family and I enjoyed our stay in Florence. The apartment was very clean, well decorated and accomodated 4 people nicely. The kitchen is rather small so wouldn't be great if you wanted to do alot of cooking. The location is terrific close to San Spirito square, great restaurants and cool bars. I would stay here again.

Nice and clean place
The place was clean and nicely decorated when we arrived. It had spiral staircases that lead up to more rooms and a bathroom. Good location next to good food and site seeing.
Minimal complaints, was unaware of early check out at 10am, which was revealed to us at check in.
