We had a great stay at this property. It was very clean, and the host was excellent with communication before and during our visit. The home is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and had plenty of space for our group of eight to spread out comfortably.The location worked well for us—it was about a 20–30 minute walk to Florence's main attractions, which our group didn't mind at all.The only improvements we would suggest would be providing more than one key, as it would have given our group more flexibility to split up throughout the day. We also would have appreciated a few additional amenities, such as extra paper towels and more hand towels.Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to others visiting Florence.

I stayed at this home with my daughter/son in law and 2 grandsons (ages 12 and 14).The home is gorgeous with a lovely balcony. Location was excellent and a wonderful restaurant across the street. We were there May 13 through May 21st 2026. It was very hot....the home has AC and was working great in the kitchen and living room, bedrooms, not as well. The upstairs shower doesn't get hot water, the downstairs shower gets plenty of hot water but the shower holder at the top is broken so you have to hand hold the shower nozzle. The tiles in both bathrooms were not clean and the shower doors upstairs were not cleaned well at all. Furniture and beds are quite comfortable. The biggest drawback is having only one set of keys, which someone else commented as well. When you have people going in different directions, it only makes sense to have 2 sets of keys. Overall, I would highly recommend.

One of the showers was broken so we only had one shower for 8 of us in blistering heat. Also, no kitchen towels to dry dishes.

This is a lovely property, outside of city center so it’s quiet with grocery shopping near by. The check in was smooth, however I regret not asking how the appliances worked. We discovered later that the washing machine was broken. We called the emergency number and they promptly sent a repair man, but he was unsuccessful. The owner offered to pay if we decided to go to a laundromat or refund us 10%. We felt it was a fair compromise.The apartment was very poorly stocked. Only one garage bag (so we could not sort our trash), no dish towels, no paper towels, no toaster. These are all little annoyances and I’m certain will be corrected by the host. If you choose this property, look around, ask questions. The elevator is very small but does a great job of getting luggage up to the top floor. Two people MAXThe deck was lovely, a great way to end the day!

Beautiful apartment and good communication and check-in. There are 2 full baths (and 1 half bath) and one has a classic tub with shower that may be difficult for older people to use. So we had numerous people using the only standard shower in the home. There is a very small elevator that we mostly used for luggage, so plan on walking the 4 flights. Very nice private terrace on the roof. Quieter neighborhood with grocery store and a few nice cafes and restaurants close by. Walking into town takes about 20 - 40 minutes depending on destination. There is some road construction in this area causing traffic congestion. You will need to provide your own soap, shampoo, etc. There is a Lavazza Mio, so bring or buy coffee pods. Only one set of keys, so you have to coordinate access if you split up. Overall nice and spacious apartment with a few things to keep in mind for a successful trip!
