Palazzo Santa Monaca

The apartment was extremely clean. The finishings (floor, counters, windows, doors) are all new and of high quality. Air Conditioning in every room worked very well and kept us comfortable day and night during some 30C+ days in the city. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms, although somewhat tight for space, are well appointed and the showers have good water pressure and plenty of hot water. The kitchen area itself, also small, is well appointed with a microwave, dishwasher, two element stovetop, toaster and kettle. Everything is quite new and in good working condition. What a great location. Away from the noisy crowds in the historic center and West side of the Ponte Vecchio, yet only minutes walking to reach those areas with lots of cafes, bars, and restaurants along the way. The street itself has very little vehicle traffic so the suite receives very little, if any, noise both day and night.

There was nothing we didn't like. Some may find the 4 flights of stairs to the top suite a little daunting if they have to carry large suitcases up, but that was not a problem for us.

Ens va agradar tot de l'apartament. El nostre era el duplex amb terrassa a la planta de dalt de tot. Les habitacions són amplies, els matalassos molt còmodes, els banys nets i la cuina ben equipada. L'aire condicionat ens va salvar ja que eren uns dies molt calorosos a Flòrència. La ubicació molt tranquil·la, a uns 20 minuts caminant del centre. Un excel·lent en tot!

Per posar alguna cosa negativa, l'apartament està a la planta tercera i no hi ha ascensor. Si viatges amb cotxets de nadons o et costa pujar escales no ho recomano.

Impeccable apartment. Well furnished, clean and comfortable tastefully decorated. And the location was peaceful whilst only a short walk from the action.

Nothing I didn’t like!

10/10 recommend. Very well appointed, bed was comfortable, space was clean. Excellent water pressure! A/C worked wonderfully. Host was exceptionally accommodating when I needed to delay checkout. Location is quite good, maybe a little far from some of the more significant sites in Florence but by no means too far; benefit of having some distance was not being immediately swarmed by crowds the second you leave the apartment! Can’t ask for much more than that.

Just about everything was perfect! For lighter sleepers, or those who go to bed earlier, I’ll note that the soundproofing for both the street as well as other units in the building is not the best (I was in a street-level unit). You can pretty clearly hear any conversation happening in the street outside or in the unit above you. Things usually quieted down by midnight, but if you struggle to sleep without absolute silence, bring some earplugs or a travel white noise machine—that should do the trick! I had zero issues sleeping.
