We actually stayed in the apartment next door as this one apparently had a leak. Great location near Ponte Vecchio and accommodations were just what we needed. I will note that the bed in our actual apartment was very hard and I slept on the couch the second night. Other than that, a lovely building and assuming our original apartment would have been great too!

Great sized apartment

Cons - only one shower was really working well. Pros - everything else. good location, a few flights of stairs may be difficult with a lot of luggage. But the size of the living room, just great. It allowed the teenagers to not be on top of each other and have some room to spread out.

The property was as described and suited us perfectly. We knew it would be close to many of the sights we wanted to see but we had no idea the neighborhood would have so many great restaurant and shops! Highly recommend!!

Wondeful

This 2nd floor appt is just perfect. Cozy, comfortable and great for a family of 4. Communication was good, helpful, in person check in. Location was great. Close to everything but far enough away from the city center. My boys loved this place. Was a little cautious from previous reviews but had no issues and was a great visit!

The apartment was exactly as pictured; beautiful and spacious. The location is great, if you take a right out of the apartment the Pitti Palace is right next door. Continue down the street and you arrive at the Ponte Vecchio bridge. In between there are plenty of restaurants, stores and gelato. If you take a left and a right you are in piazza Santo Spritio with more restaurants. There is a grocery store to the left about 5 minutes away. The location is great! The host was very helpful and responded quickly. I would have given it all 5 stars but I didn't care for the late charge for checking in after 7pm. It was probably listed somewhere on the site but I didn't appreciate the extra charge. Besides that everything else was perfect.

Lovely place.

We loved the location a bit away from the crowds. The interior is well above normal for apartment rentals in Florence. Everything worked, check in and out was easy. The only knock is the second bathroom which is quirky at best. We would stay there again and recommend it to others.

Fabulous in Florence

Apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable for our family of 3. Great location and very easy to walk to sites and around town. We loved being on the other side of the Arno for quiet, afternoon relaxation. Good restaurants, roof bar nearby was a big plus! Would love to visit again

Excellent property in Florence

We absolutely loved our stay at this location in Florence. It is on the other side of the river which is a little quieter. The master bedroom is quiet but the front rooms do hear the street traffic. We overall loved this quaint apartment.

The location is terrific, the apartment spacious and well decorated. However, upon our arrival we encountered various problems: first a cockroach situation with multiple roaches in the kitchen and even in the sofa bed. Management indicated that this is a seasonal problem and the insects probably entered the unit through the drains after a recent fumigation. The AC unit of the main did not function properly even after we notified management and they came to fix it. I have stayed with VRBO for many years and this is the first time that I have encountered roaches. Hard to stomach for such a pricey property.

Wonderful Time in Florence

We really enjoyed our stay in this apartment in Florence. The apartment feels nice and homey. There were a few too many references to New York for my taste, but that was easily forgiven. The location was amazing and the apartment easily accessible. I'm a big guy, but the stairs are wide and didn't feel like too much of a burden.As mentioned by others, the one bathroom is a little odd and the "upper" shower is little bit short if your tall but I was OK at 5' 11". The tub shower has a slant because it's really meant to be a tub so takes some getting used to.We waited longer than we should have to try the pizza place downstairs. They were very nice and the food was good.

Christmas Week in Florence

Our family of two adults and two fully-grown teenaged children had a lovely stay at this flat in Florence. The location was perfect - a short walk to the Ponte Vecchio yet so much more quiet and peaceful than the busiest parts of town. We were never more than a 15-minute walk no matter where we wanted to go. The hosts were quite easy to communicate with and were very responsive to our infrequent queries. We would stay here again and would recommend it highly to any and all.
