Absolutely the best place I’ve ever stayed! Location was perfect and close to everything. The host Luca was so helpful and he has the best pillows on the bed. You can see the top of the Dumo from the living room Skylight, absolutely amazing!

We very much enjoyed our stay at The Flora Apartment! It's in a really neat old building right across the street from the Duomo, yet has been thoroughly updated. Our host, Luca, was very accommodating in meeting us late after our flight was delayed, and took the time to explain how everything works with the apartment. The location is awesome! We would certainly stay here again on our next visit to Florence!

I am so lucky that I found this place for our trip to Florence! This was by far one of the cleanest places I have stayed while travelling. Not to mention it feels luxurious, the beds were great and the whole apartment is updated. There was a lot of space which was very comfortable especially coming from a place in Rome. The location is incredible, you can walk everywhere. Luca was so friendly, and after we had been travelling for so long it was so comforting to have someone greet us who was so welcoming. There are stairs, but if you are travelling to Italy, this is common in any place that you stay, and keep in mind that this building is very old and has a lot of history so it was worth it. Luca went above and beyond having someone waiting there for our arrival to bring our bags up to the apartment (we didn't have this at any other place we stayed). Being from Canada, we are used to very different living spaces, but this apartment made us feel so comfortable. If you are renting through VRBO and not staying at a hotel you must book this apartment, it was the best accommodations we booked for our entire trip. Thanks again Luca!

Excellent location in Florence with beautiful views of the Duomo. Luca was excellent host! Highly recommend this apartment for groups visiting Florence. We had two couples, and the apartment was perfect for us.

This apartment by far was one of the cleanest places we had ever stayed. Our host, Luca, was very helpful and did a through church-in process for us. He was always wearing a smile and was always reachable. The best part was the location which was in the middle of the tourist attractions surrounded by so many shopping and dining places. If I go back to Florence, I would definitely stay in this place again.

Everything was as described. Couldn't have asked for a better location or view. There are 4 flights of stairs but Luca had someone there waiting for us to take them to the top for us. Luca took his time to answer any questions. Would stay there again!

The view and location can't be beaten. I'm 66 and had not difficulty with the stairs. With the safe wide stairs, we just took a breather as needed. The manager met us on arrival and helped with our luggage. He showed us how to operate the window shades & A/C. We loved our stay.
