Great little appointment
A little hiccup at check in that was partly my fault. An absolute perfect location to stay when visiting Florence and surrounding areas. Three tram stops to the centre of town and some lovely small restaurants about 500m away. It’s good to get out of town at the end of the day, sit on the terrace in the sun and enjoy a drink, then a short walk to a restaurant. We particularly liked the Cuban and the Pizza place along the road opposite the front door. All in all a perfect place for us.

Beautiful apartment and views
We loved this modern apartment with it’s walkout terrace are. The tram is just down the street to get you to the city center in just minutes. Great corner bar/cafe to have coffee or wine. We found a great neighborhood area just n/w of the apartment and a 3-5 minute walk. Would definitely stay here again

Decided to book something else after arriving on site
Property was dirty, outdoor furniture had stains, there were bugs all over the porch, and the view of the duomo was blocked by cranes and a construction site. We got there and realized this wasn’t for us so we booked another hotel for our stay.

Beautiful little penthouse
We had a wonderful stay here! The penthouse is all updated and cleaned. It has a beautiful view of the city from the terrace. We were also close to some shops and restaurants, so it was very convenient, as well. It is easy to get to from the train station, and the check in process was smooth. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great place. Great location for our needs.
Wonderful apartment with a great rooftop patio. Very convenient to transportation(tram is just down the block that takes you to aor port/ city center/train station) and local food/shops. Host was extremely good at communicating with us in helping us get situated. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice place just outside of the city center. I will stay again if we make it back here someday.

A different experience in Florence away from city center
The penthouse is a lovely place outside city center. We enjoyed taking the tram and the corner bar for our coffee breaks. Great view and clean. We could have stayed longer and cooked and enjoyed the terrace but we were short on time. I had a hard time communicating with the owner in the VRBO site on my phone in italy. I would receive a message and it was blank when I wanted to respond, which was frustrating. A bit expensive in my opinion since nothing was included in the price for 2 adults and one minor.

Fantastic apartment and area just outside of the historic centre, 25min walk or 2 quick stops on the train. Only misunderstanding was parking, I expected it to be included in the price but it wasn't. Still a great stay

Florence
It was our first time in Florence, the location is so close to all the museums and the Doma we had breakfast every morning in a different café facing the Basilica. The shopping was great; we bought many souvenirs for our staff and family. I highly recommend this place and intend to stay here again when I return.

Perfect!! Great location! Very clean!
This is a great location for visiting Florence. Easy to get in and out of the city and the neighborhood has a couple great bakeries and places to get a drink and some food. The apartment is clean and very comfortable to come back to after a day of sightseeing. The view from the patio is great while having morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. We loved staying here.

We truly enjoyed our stay in this lovely flat. Every day we hopped on the local tram and a quick 3 stops we were in the heart of Florence, sometimes we walked it too. Every evening we enjoyed a glass of Chianti on the spacious patio overlooking the city. Highly recommend this property!

Comfortable stay
This rental was as described and very comfortable for two. The host was beyond accommodating, even assisting with taxi’s for some wedding festivities we were attending (taxis are tricky in Florence). There is construction noise daily, but we were there to see the sites and used the spacious terrace in the evenings. Some may find the apt. Is a bit far, but we thought great location, away from the busy noise, 5 minute walk to train, 20 minutes to most great sites and central market (which we stopped by frequently). Would highly recommend a stay here if visiting Florence.
