The location was within easy walking distance of anything you wanted to see or do. The building was very accessible with an elevator to the apartment. The property manager, Marco, was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions quickly and efficiently. He gave us additional help that many property managers do not give. We would definitely stay there again due to the location and easy communication with Marco.

We stayed at Marco's place in July. An very well stocked apartment steps from the Duomo. Plenty of space for the four of us and the excellent air conditioning was appreciated as it was extremely warm out. Finally, Marco is a very attentive host who takes care to ensure his guests enjoy their stay. We highly recommend Marco's apartment if you're looking for a place to stay in Florence.

My family and I loved staying here. It’s right in the heart of Florence with views of the Duomo. 3 bathrooms were a big plus and the second bedroom was adorable! Also there was an elevator which was nice since the apartment is on the top floor. The host greeted us and answered our messages in a timely manner. The only thing that I would say needs improvement is that the primary bed is not very soft. But overall wonderful experience and we would definitely stay there again!

Great spot to explore, most things are less than a 10 minute walk to sights and excellent restaurants. Great for those who want to share a place with another couple of family as bedrooms each has own bathrooms. Would highly recommend.

Home away from home

After a long day of travel (and delays), the host met us with a smile! He explained the house workings and provided easy recommendations for food in the area. The apartment was perfect for me and 3 teens! The terrace was amazing!

Best location and great experience

Location location location. Wow. Just a couple blocks away from the city duomo with all the benefits of being within walking distance of nearly everything. Just 10-15 minutes from train station. A few easy steps up and a lift gets you and your luggage all the way up. Nice patio and multiple windows with great views. 2 1/2 bathrooms let Spouse and I have our own sink. Washing machine and with multiple heaters let us stay here a week. Great experience. Only drawback was the mattress wasn’t the best we’ve had which meant some tossing and turning during sleep.

Amazing Month-long Stay!

The location of this villa could not be better! Right next to the Duomo with some views of the cupola and Giotto tower. Three retired gals from Florida spent a month here, touring Italy and of course, diving into Firenze. We trained to Pompeii/Sorrento/Amalfi/Capri, Siena, Venice, Cinque Terre and San Gimignano. Hiked in Cinque Terre and up to the Piazzale Michelangelo. We enjoyed wonderful meals and celebrations (at Trattoria Za-Za, Gilli's, Caffe Concerto Paszkowski, Mercato Centrale, and restaurants right on the same street as our villa), museums, wine tours, a cooking class with Walk-About Tours, opera and Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Marco was the best and most attentive host ever. Super responsive and truly a kind person. The villa has an old-Florence feel and met our needs...we especially loved the outdoor rooftop terrace. I lived in Florence for a year in 2015/16 and come back every few years. Would definitely stay here again when we have 3-4 folks to share this larger space. Kudos to Marco and everything Florence!

A beautiful place in a perfect location.

A great property in an old style apartment in the heart of Florence. Marco was an awesome host! His communication and planning was great. We forget something at the apartment and he contacted us and met up with us to return. The views were awesome from the apartment windows, skylight, and walk out patio. The walkout patio really made the place which seems to be pretty rare as many of the other listings that I reviewed did not have a balcony or patio. The apartment was extremely clean and had all of the amenities. Marco even left us wine and treats to enjoy during our stay. When I return to Florence, I will definitely rebook this apartment. A great family experience. Thanks again Marco for making this a memorable trip for me and my family. Ciao!

Bright, comfortable and clean apartment, wonderful terrace and excellent location & host.

My two girlfriends and I had a wonderful 2 weeks staying in this lovely, classic apartment just a block off the Duomo. Marco, our host, was extremely communicative throughout the whole process and very helpful during our stay. I only have great things to say about the whole experience. The apartment is very comfortable and clean and well stocked with plenty of towels and other household items and it was really great having the third bathroom. There is a washing machine and a number of drying racks that you can set up on the terrace. There’s also an iron and ironing board and two hairdryers.We spent a lot of time on the wonderful, private terrace…. It was so great to have that space to unwind and relax on and listen to all the bells and just soak in the atmosphere.The apartment itself is well represented in the photos,I felt the main living space was actually LARGER than I expected! There are lots of windows, so it’s nice and airy, and you can open the windows for lovely breezes. The beds are firm, but very comfortable, The green bathroom in the first bedroom is fairly compact, but everything works well there is good water pressure.The apartment is surrounded by a plethoraof fabulous restaurants, shops, grocery stores, etc.If you want a charming, comfortable and classic penthouse apartment, with a lift and a private terrace in the absolute center of the historic district, with a fantastic host, look no further! We look forward to returning! Thank you Marco!

Great views and access to all Florence

We had a wonderful stay at Marco’s - we had to update our plans just before arrival and he was super helpful, kept in touch during our transit, very available. The apartment is roomy with a great balcony to enjoy the sunshine and church bells.

A perfect Florence flat!

Marco was a wonderful host for our 8 night stay in Florence. Location can’t be beat for walking to all the glorious, historic attractions, plus SMN train station etc. Brunelleschi’s massive cupola on one side and a charming outdoor patio on the other. Highly recommended!

It was a magical stay!!! Marco was so helpful. One day he drove my family and I out to the countryside of Tuscany. For wine tasting and dinner. The apartment is perfectly located. You can walk anywhere. We are ready planning to come back in October

Great apartment in Florence

It was a wonderful stay at Florence. The apartment with it's terrace and the great view on all the historic buildings especially the 'Duomo' and the 'Campanile' is very special. And while staying here we have had a very friendly host: Marco. He'll help whenever help is necessary. He explains everything. He is just 'molto simpatico'.

Great apartment and host!

Apartment was old school Italy. Very quaint and comfortable with a very nice terrace. Lower bedroom has low ceiling clearance so be careful of ceiling beams . All the varied plates and other kitchen utensils you could need. Location perfect. Washer came in handy but you need to air dry whatever you wash on terrace or in apartment. Marco the host amazing with communication and any needs when staying at apartment. Overall a great place to stay when visiting Florence. Thanks Marco.

The perfect place in Florence!!

This property was even better than expected. Marco was a wonderful host and provided us with so much info. He helped us when the airline lost a bag. He made sure we had the right number to call to find out about it .The apartment was very quiet, which is hard to find in Florence especially this close to the Duomo. It was very clean and Marco left us 2 bottles of wine and some snacks, also all the essentials. Would stay here again if we return to Florence. Don't hesitate to rent this apartment!!

For our adventure, it was perfect

We thought the space was much bigger than the pictures showed. It's sort of an eclectic space with the second bedroom down a short couple steps with a low doorway. That was no big deal to us... and the views from every window were of an iconic piece of history... the duomo right out the bedroom wind the Palazzo Vecchio off the back deck. It wasn't noisy considering how close it was to main tourist attractions. It's centrally located we walked from the train station... Over all it was a great place to experience Florence for us. Lastly, the A/C worked great and kept us quite comfortable. We'll try to stay here again for sure.

Just Heavenly!

I can't say enough about this lovely apartment! Centrally located but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the city center with a very nice store right around the corner for convenience. We felt like we were in a traditional Italian flat with the wood beams in the ceiling, the tiles, the furniture and decorations. The patio was amazing with the views and sitting there listening to the church bells was something I will never forget! The view of the Duomo dome right outside the window while I put on my makeup could not be beat! Marco was so warm and friendly it felt like we were with a friend! He made sure we had everything we needed to ensure a great time. He even had a couple of bottles of wine and some cookies upon check in! I would highly recommend this very lovely apartment and I will definitely stay again if I'm lucky enough to visit Firenze again! Grazie Mille, Marco! Ciao my friend! Kathy

Vacance de rêve

L’appartement est fantastique et très grand. Très bien équipé , rien ne manque. Vue sur le Duomo, sur le Palazzo Vecchio et le campanile de Giotto. Magnifique terrasse dont on a hélas peu profité vue la pluie. Matelas confortables. Grand salon. Eau chaude abondante. Ascenseur. Beaucoup de vaisselle. On est à deux pas du Duomo. C’était comme être dans dans le film Chambre avec Vue ‘ J’y retournerais demain matin
