Great for families
This apartment is ideal for families with children. However it was challenging when it was two individuals. The upstairs bathroom is not adult friendly and the stairs to the loft are only really suitable for children, but they would have a ball in their own space. Self catering was a breeze as the kitchen was well appointed with a full size fridge that held a weeks groceries, but small touches such as toiletries were missing. Also a large number of things were broken and needed fixing. A window, a mirror, a shower head, two electrical sockets etc. Overall an enjoyable stay.

An absolute pleasure
The apartment is bigger than my house and spotlessly clean. Many windows allow for a beautiful breeze and fresh air. It was open, warm and comfortable. The location could not be better, in the middle of everything but quiet nights. The host was a pleasure and so easy to deal with. We highly recommend this wonderful apartment. In fact, we wish we were there right now.

Great Location
We couldn’t have asked for a better location and place to tour from. Literally 5 minutes walk but worlds away from the train station, and plenty of coffee shops, groceries and restaurants within a couple blocks. We were able to easily walk to all attractions and beat the crowds daily. Recommend the Crown of India restaurant right on the street. Communication with the VRBO host was prompt and friendly. We had no problems.

Stay here!
This was our favourite property we stayed on our Italy adventure! Sofia ( host) was amazing! A booklet printed out to go over house rules, restaurants etc was so helpful! Space was clean, spacious and perfectly located! Easy to get to train station, walking distance to everywhere. Would absolutely recommend staying here, and we would love to return one day! Thank you Sofia!!

Perfect location and hosts
If you plan to visit Florence on foot, you cannot beat this location. Very central and only a few minutes walk to the central market where you can enjoy a great breakfast or lunch. The train station is also very close. Many good restaurants are within walking distance (make reservations). The appartement was spacious, clean and well equipped. Communications with the host was great and they are quick to respond to any questions. They went out of there way to return an item we had forgotten at the appartement. Could not have asked for a better experience and better hosts. Highly recommend. Thanks again.

Over & Beyond!
Sofia was an amazing host! The apartment was so warm and inviting and had everything we needed to feel at home. The location was perfect and close to many sightseeing opportunities, restaurants and pubs. I have to comment that more importantly, what Sofia did as a host, showed me how kind and caring she was as a person. I unfortunately broke my ankle a few days before arriving to her VRBO. She arranged for a an Orthopedic doctor to make a house call to me!! This was a friend of hers and she said he would come see me! Sofia met the doctor at our VRBO with me so to insure the communication was good. Any host that would go to that effort for one of her guests is a great host in my book. If I ever find myself back in Florence, I'll be sure to book this one again! I can not say enough kind words about my experience with Sofia and with her lovely apartment! Highly recommend!
