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.

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.

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 !!
