Beautiful apartment in a perfect location

From the graciousness of Jacqueline, to the tranquility of the apartment, and the amazing location overlooking the market during the day and musicians at night, my sister and I had a wonderful stay in Firenze. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful!

Amazing apartment that looks even better in person. The location is central to everything and really places you in the middle of the action. We loved everything about the place and would return again. The only potential downside (which did not bother us) is that you will hear some noise from people outside enjoying the city in the evening.

What a great location! This place was perfect for 4 adults. One room was quite small with a small bathroom, but that is to be expected in such a city. The AC was crucial and kept us cool. Jacqueline was super helpful and accommodating. Thumbs up all the way.

LOCATION!!!

Absolutely beautiful apartment in the heart of the incredible city of Firenze! One block from the Ponte Vecchio, and about three blocks from the Duomo. You can literally walk to everything you want to see in Florence from this apartment. The beds and pillows were comfortable, and the apartment was perfect for our visit. The host, Jacqueline was super nice and accomodating, and nice enough to point out multiple bars, restaurants and things to see and do nearby. Do not hesitate to stay in this gorgeous historic apartment.

Great apartment and location

The apartment is exactly as in picture. Very clean.. Location is exactly in the center of the center. Kitchen fully equipped. We were charged extra 30$ for late checkin - even though I was updated I don’t understand why to charge extra for it. I would recommend to friends and will return.

Great location but…

The location was wonderful. We knew there was an elevator but were surprised to see that you had to climb ~23 stairs to reach the elevator. The pictures were accurate, the cleaning crew may have been in a rush. There is a microwave in the kitchen, but the outlet is coming out of the wall which was an issue for me. Main bathroom - cold water showers some of the time / the other bathroom did not have a water issue. I would not book again - but would search that area.

Beautiful apartment

This is a lovely historical apartment with gorgeous décor. It is in a great location--we were able to walk everywhere. We stayed here for a week. There is a flight of stairs before reaching the elevator but this is common in old buildings in the area. The apartment is clean, spacious and each bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. Perfect for a family of 4. With the nature of the old building, it took a couple minutes for the hot water to heat up but then there was plenty of hot water. There was some noise from the street in the day time but it didn't bother us and the nights were quiet. The location is ideal for being in the heart of everything. We enjoyed the talented street musicians that performed in the evenings across from the apartment after the daily market closed. We communicated easily with the host and always received prompt responses. We would stay here again. We recommend Venchi gelato only 2 shops from the apartment. Also, the pharmacy next to the apartment is friendly and was helpful in calling us a taxi.

Beautiful apartment; location, location, LOCATION!

Our stay in this apartment made us feel like we were living in renaissance Florence. The apartment itself is pretty incredible. Living room ceiling is painted like the ceiling of the Uffizi or a comparable gallery. On the whole, it felt like a miniature palace. Beds are comfortable; A/C in every room is welcome. Kitchen is good enough for a family or group for a short stay. Location is prime. Feels like you're a three-block walk from everything. Short walk to the Ponte Vecchio; two blocks from the Palazzo Vecchio and Uffizi (and a super-yummy sandwich shop called Dal Vinaio); three or four blocks from the Duomo; across the river from Boboli Gardens; in the middle of the main shopping district. Could not ask for a better location if you want to live in and experience the heart of Florence. Only word of caution: There is an open-air market across the street from the apartment. Vendors begin to set up their shops early in the AM (around 5:30 - 6:00 am), which can be a bit noisy (typical, middle of the city early morning noises); then in the evening, the market serves as a location where buskers do nightly performances, which regularly went until 11 pm (and one night went way too late, with an absolutely awful male soprano performing opera until 12:45 am). In general, the performances are good (and the apartment's windows muffle the sound well enough), but if you're a light sleeper it's something to consider.

Adored this apartment in Florence... one of the most beautiful places we have stayed. Leather market right outside our door with easy walking to ALL in Florence. At night when the market is taken down, we had live music and dancing right outside our windows - absolute perfection. We hope to visit again!!

Very centrally located near all major attractions. The apartment is beautiful. The master bedroom is lovely but the 2nd with twin beds was dark and more noisy. There are steps up to the elevator which is quite large. Our only complaint was the lack of hot water in the shower. Once hot it would intermittently turn ice cold. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. We did request a taxi when we left. It never came but you can find one at he the nearby piazza Repubblica.
