This apartment was perfect! Having the space for a group of 6 adult sized individuals it was perfect! Both in bed space and bathrooms. Location was ideal, close to many attractions but also outside the main tourist zone. The communication and ease of access to the property was such a blessing amid the chaos of travel and details. Only note about the property was that there were not screens on windows and even in winter when we opened the windows to get a bit of fresh air we were inundated with mosquitos. Covered in bites wasn't exactly the souvenir we were hoping for! :) But overall this location was great! would absolutely recommend, but suggest bringing some mosquito spray.

Our family of 5 stayed here for 3 nights near Christmas. The apartment is as advertised, was very clean with high end bathroom and kitchen furnishings and tasteful decor throughout. The beds were comfortable, rooms had lots of natural light, and the common area is quite large - so large that it could probably hold another couch or a few more comfortable chairs, which could be a nice addition. The location is also great, less than a minute from the Academia Gallery and convenient walking distance to most other notable sites in Florence. We were able to check ourselves in and the owners even let us access the apartment early once their cleaners were finished. We had no problems during our stay but the owners were easily accessible via WhatsApp. Overall, this was a great place to stay!
A few things to note. The apartment is on the second floor and the 3 flights of steps up from the street are very steep, which were difficult to climb for 1 member of our party who is older. Also, we visited in December and although there were multiple radiators, the apartment tended to be cold (we were wrapping ourselves in our blankets even during the day) but we are from Phoenix which is obviously a warmer climate.

Wonderful apartment. Great location with attractions all within easy walk.
Does need another sofa and soundproofing - we had a noise complaint from downstairs and we are not particularly boisterous.
Other than that- perfecto

Wonderful property right across the street from Accademia and only 10 minutes walk from Il Duomo. Very centrally located and easy walking furnace to all central Florence sights. Up three flights of steep steps, but flat is one level. Great living space and all three bedrooms have their own full bath. Very clean and well apportioned. Communication with property manager very easy. Highly recommend!

Everything is within a 20 min walk - the Duomo is less than 10 min. The apartment itself is spacious and well appointed. The check in process was very efficient. Definitely worth a rebooking in our future. To note - not for anyone that can't manage stairs. Only 2 stories up, but steep. Not a big deal for most travelers, but proved a challenge for my 76 year old mother (though she did it several times every day!).

The apartment was everything we could ask for, with all of the amenities, great air conditioning, laundry, and a full kitchen. Steps from the statue of David and close to all other attractions in Florence

Our stay was amazing. Barbara was very helpful. I highly recommend this property.

Beautiful place, clean and spacious. Perfect location for us to walk to all the famous attractions. Owners were very responsive to questions and helpful with suggestions. Very easy check-in. Fair warning… the narrow entry staircase is marble, and we forgot that the 2nd floor in Europe is technically the 3rd floor (for Americans). Since we were 5 adults on an extended holiday, lugging the luggage and wine carriers was quite a workout! (But that was on us!). We highly recommend this place.

The apartment is much prettier and more spacious than the photos reveal. It is a steep walk with bags to get to its location on the second floor however. But once you get there it is worth it!

My wife and I came with our 3 teen daughters. Everything was as advertised. From the communication with Barbara, to the charming apartment that was clean and nicely remodeled to the location, we could not have asked for more. Honestly at a loss to write any negatives or things that need improving. We would definitely recommend this property and if we are ever back in Florence would rent again. Thank you Barbara!
