Loved our stay in Florence!

Location is an area with many stores and walking distance (5 mins) to many restaurants and attractions, we walked to everything. We had a group of seven persons and the three sleeping areas worked out well for us, just note that one of the beds is in an open loft area. Also, lots of steep steps in the apartment so keep that in mind with young kids and elderly. The check in was fantastic as well as all the communications. We got in to Florence early and were able to leave all our bags with the host and came back later to check in - this was GREATLY APPRECIATED. They even moved our bags to the apartment for us, WOW!

Perfect Location

Pros -1. Location is convenient to everything2. Very clean3. Elevator (only takes you to the first of a three level apt)4. Air Conditioning worked great!5. Washing machine6. Has all the soaps, hair dryers, paper products7. There is a coffee shop three doors downCons1. There are NOT three bedrooms and a sleeping loft. There are two bedrooms, one with a big closet, and a sleeping loft 2. The apt is 3 floors. The stairs are steep. The elevator offers no help maneuvering in the apt.3. Only one set of keys which complicates dividing the group for different activities 4. The host offers no help with arranging transfersOverall, this was a great place to stay with friends and family. We got the Glovo app to have sundries, food, and wine delivered. The grocery stores aren’t super close so Glovo came to our rescue.I have no idea what you would do with a car if you rented one. We used a taxi app which worked great.

Great location beautiful rental

We were a group of 7, all adults this location was great. 10 to 15 walk to almost everything. The rental was great, and beautiful. This may have been my fault but we had an elderly person with us and it was a little hard for her to use the stairs, but we made it work. Both bedrooms are up on top of 3 floors. Middle flóor was the loft which had a sofa bed. Overall I thought the vrbo was great. Thank you

Great Apartment in Fantastic Location in the heart of Florence

A great apartment in the heart of Florence. A quick walk to all the local attractions with great restaurants just outside your door. Check-in was easy and the apartment was well setup with all of the necessities you would need. Lots of room on 3 floors for our family four to stretch out. Would definitely recommend.

Florence with family!

Our family really enjoyed this apartment! There are 3 levels, with the loft and bedrooms at the top which we didn’t fully realize when booking, but it made for a lot of extra space. The extra large living area downstairs, high ceilings and 3 bathrooms were great. With a lot of original character, the apartment still felt new and clean. We would definitely stay again.

Great location

Great location and easy access to most of Florence. The apartment was lovely, plenty of space for us all and AC units in each bedroom. The only issue we had was accessing the apartment, we didn’t receive check in access and had to call to receive it. But otherwise all was wonderful and perfect for us.

A cool experience

This is the first place that we stayed in Italy. My expectations may not be in touch with reality. With that being said, the apartment itself is magical in its own way, uncertainly authentic to Florence. The antiquity surrounds you giving you that European experience that many travelers are seeking. In my case I’m traveling with my family who are not quite as adventurous as Only drawbacks might be with the size of bathrooms, lighting issues, or overall cleanliness. In all fairness, I will say that the place is extremely clean and well kept, and that this is Italy and that anyone should lower their expectations when comparing it to something Modern In this case this numerous stairs could be a concern for some families. I thought all of these features are part of the experience and makes it cool and unique to Florence but my wife feels otherwise. Apartment was overall accommodating and perfect for our family and while I have no actual hotels that I can compare it to, I thought this apartment was unique and historic and special.

Amazing location and lots of steps!

The apartment is exactly as pictured - great space for a family or large group. We used the kitchen every morning for breakfast and sat around the table every evening sharing stories and playing games. The location is amazing - you can walk to anything from the apartment within 15 minutes (the train station, every major attraction and great shopping). Be aware, that if you have anyone who is not super mobile, there IS an elevator to the apartment, but within the apartment itself all of the bedrooms require very steep stairs. We would stay there again - super quiet, very clean and fantastic location.

The house is a mix of modernity, as very comfortable and very well equipped, and ancient materials. Everything is beautiful and made to feel that you are good, while respecting the Tuscan spirit. We want to thank Gaia for being so accommodating on such short notice. we are sure to return!

Beautiful apartment and very gracious host.

The apartment is beautiful, spacious and in a great location. It's walking distance to everything but not too close to the noisy, crowded areas by the Duomo. Our host was very helpful and accommodating and informative. I would 100 percent recommend this apartment. We had a wonderful experience and anytime we had questions we were able to stop in next door where the host worked and ask questions, which he graciously answered. Loved this place!!!
