Great Location, Well Appointed apartment

The only thing not to like about this apartment is the 60 steps to the 3rd Floor. Everything else is newly remodeled, clean, fresh linens. Basic kitchen supplies. Washing machine was great as we were out of clean clothes. Be advised the 'dryer' is actually a drying rack, but all our things were dry within 24 hours. Great location about a block and a half from the Gallerie of the Academia. Silvia was very helpful with getting us oriented in the apartment and even carried my suit case up all those stairs. If I can still climb stairs the next time I visit Florence, I would definitely stay here again.

Creature comforts in the Center of the city

Silvia is highly organized and methodical host who makes sure the guest had all necessary info and needs covered! The Home is beautiful, with both the living and bedrooms having A/C, the kitchen well equipped, a stocked coffee maker, and overall very organized and clean living space! Once again, it is hard a find a host better than Silvia! Thank you Silvia for taking such a meticulous care of everything when hosting us! Your gesture of booking a taxicab for our return journey was an icing on the cake! Much regards!! Other than having to climb 60 flights of stairs every time we ventured out, it was a delight to stay at this property! All of the key attractions are literally within a walking distance from the property!

Lovely, modern apartment close to everything!

Spent five days here and loved the accommodations! Yes, it's a fourth floor walkup, but a good workout! The apartment has been beautifully renovated and decorated - very chic and modern, with high ceilings, good light and A/C (which was key, as it was in the 90s the entire time we were there). It was quiet for most nights except for the last, when our upstairs neighbor did jumping jacks (or something) until the wee hours of the morning. Exquisite bakery right next door. We didn't love the restaurants in the streets immediately surrounding the apartment - do yourself a favor and do your research on restaurants before heading out for dinner. Having said that, it's tough to get a really bad meal in Florence. Convenient walking distance to almost everything. Silvia was extremely accommodating and helpful during our entire visit.

A wonderful place for a short or long stay

We stayed in Silvia's Marte apartment for a month. It easily met all the expectations we had from the listing description. It has been well modernised and has a proper kitchen area for simple cooking. It's well equipped and very clean and uncluttered. Silvia obviously takes care of it. There is a comfortable bed as well as a sofa bed in the living room. The washing machine worked efficiently. The apartment is bigger than we thought it would be from the photos and so we had plenty of room even for a longer stay. This apartment is at the back of the building overlooking a sort of courtyard, so there was virtually no traffic noise. The location is perfect. There is a good bakery almost next door, there is one good supermarket about two minutes away and an even better one about five minutes away. The Mercato Centrale (central market) - fabulous for fruit, vegetables, meat and fish - is four minutes from the apartment, or three if it's raining. The Accademia is about 5 minutes away and the Duomo about 8 minutes away. There are restaurants, bars and cafes everywhere. We found that we didn't need public transport anywhere in the city - it's all easily walkable. It's also well placed for trips out of the city. We got the bus to Fiesole and trains to both Bologna and Cinque Terre from Santa Maria Novella station (very helpful English speaking staff at the station). We particularly enjoyed taking in a gallery or museum and then finding somewhere for coffee or lunch. Our favourite museums were San Marco for the Fra Angelico frescoes; the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi which is a curiously intimate and homely place bearing in mind it was the massive residence of the not entirely pleasant Medici family - in particular the chapel is a must see; and the Bargello for sculptures. There are so many places to eat. We had lunch a number of times at I Ghibellini in Piazza San Pier Maggiore. It was wonderful sitting outside in the warmth - especially after a Canadian winter! I 13 Gobbi has a very interesting menu and the food comes up to standard. We also enjoyed simple dinners in Antiche Cancelli in via Faenza near the apartment. One of the best places to sample an whole range of different foods is upstairs at the Mercato Centrale, open every day from 10.00am to midnight - particular recommendation is Sud for pizza and the bakery for bread. Silvia was wonderful - welcoming and great at providing ideas. This is one of the best apartments we've stayed in - we'd gladly go back

Sylvia was a fabulous host! She met us at the apartment and helped us with our bags up the stairs. She gave us many recommendations for restaurants and shopping that were all wonderful. Her apartment has everything you could imagine to ensure that you have the best experience possible. The apartment has been newly renovated. It is clean and beautiful. The location is great. It is quiet for good sleeping. I could not more highly recommend this host and her apartment. I would stay here again!

The perfect place to stay!

We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay while in Florence! The apartment is perfectly located - an easy walk to the train station, the central market, and all of the beautiful sites in Florence. It is also perfectly placed among great restaurants and cafes. We enjoyed leaving the windows open at night and the street below was incredibly quiet. Silvia was the perfect host. She was available to us, met us late the evening we arrived to acquaint ourselves with the apartment upon check-in. Above and beyond our expectations. The apartment is very up to date and well-furnished for being in an older building. So charming! We would love to return and stay here again!

The Perfect Place!

Right in the heart of Florence. The apartment is very clean and our host Silvia is the best! Also walking distance to the train station if you are planning to get around Italy via train which we did. We made Florence our home-base and we took trains to Venice, Milan, Lake Como, and Rome. Too many to list, but to keep it short, we will be back again!

2020 Christmas in Florence Italy

This was our 3rd trip back to Florence (2005, 2018; 2nd time in 2 years!). Sylvia's unit(s) are exceptional. She is a great host and the units are beautiful; centrally located and with modern accommodations. We had the back unit, and our friends had had the front unit. They were equally pleased. Because of her attention to detail you need little to bring, and with the washer you can travel light (we recommend when traveling to Europe to use just a carry on and a back pack). Our unit had a large private bedroom, and plenty of space for the pull out coach in the living room if you are traveling with family. The bathroom was spacious and thoroughly modern. The kitchen was brand new. There is nothing we can say this home did not have. As almost all the European lodgings we have had, there are stairs to climb, so just be sure you are willing do do that. But Florence is an easily walked city, we averaged almost 7 miles a day, and climbing the stairs at night was not an issue (we are in our 60's and in good shape). But Sylvia, she was great! On check-in we spent about an hour talking about Florence and what we've seen and not seen (after 3 trips, we still have more to see). Our second night our friends locked themselves out, and Sylvia was over within the hour. That's the kind of host she is. The apartment is stocked with information and has a great renters book to get you started on your visits. The other thing that makes this unit great is that the tram to Florence airport (which terminates right outside the train station) is literally a 10 minute walk from this apartment. So you fly in, get the tram, walk 10 minutes, and you are there. We plan another trip to Florence to finish our sights (Hall of 500; Secret Pathway), and just eat that wonderful food & drink that wonderful wine, and visit with the nicest people on earth, and we'll be looking to stay with Sylvia again!

WORTH EVERY STEP TO THE TOP

3 of us stayed in Silvia’s “Marte” suite for 3 nights, it was our first stop in Italy and nothing compared the rest of the trip. The apartment was immaculate and had everything we needed. Silvia is so sweet and the very best host. Trust me, the steps are worth it to the apartment. We were 3 women age 15, 34 and 60 and we felt safe in the apartment and all around. The location is wonderful for exploring Florence, we walked everywhere. Great coffee and pastry right out the door. Don’t worry about the couch bed if you sleep on it, it is same as a regular bed. Very comfy. The shower and bathroom perfect and clean ! Don’t hesitate, it’s worth the price and the steps for 100% peace of mind. We hope to be back in the future. Thank you Silvia 😊
