Perfect apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment. The location was close to the train station and all the major sites, the place was spacious for the 5 of us, and the host and property manager were very nice and accommodating. The communication was excellent. They even let us check in early and Francesca thoroughly explained everything to us. Overall, a perfect stay and would highly recommend!

Nice place

Mariangela & Sara were great. The place is well located close to the train station & close to the duomo, central mecardo & lots of restaurants & shops. To no fault of their own the A/C could not keep up with the heat that made the stay a little uncomfortable but overall very pleasant.

Superbe airbnb

Tout d’abord, nous étions à un emplacement idéal : à 2 minutes de la cathédrale Santa Maria del Fiore et à 5 minutes de la gare. Nous avons eu un excellent service lors de notre arrivée à l’appartement qui soit dit en passant est très spacieux et propre. Je recommande cet endroit à 100%. Un gros merci à Mariangela et Sara!

Lovely stay

My husband and I are travelling with our girls for our 20th anniversary. The host was lovely from start to finish. Very accommodating with excellent communication throughout. She left us a lovely anniversary welcome and was able to arrange a later checkout for us so we could squeeze in a museum visit in the morning without having to figure out how to store our luggage. The apartment was in a central location, very clean, and in the middle of this heat wave, the excellent air conditioning in the unit was a huge plus. The bed and pull out sofa were very comfortable and we all slept very well. Would definitely book again the next time we come to Florence.

Great spot for a family

We had an excellent time in Florence and this property was perfect for my family of 5. They accommodated us with a pack n play for our 18 month old as well as a cot and pull out sofa. We had plenty of space. We came in by train and it was a quick walk from the train station but also very easy to get main areas like the Duomo. The food around the property was actually the best we had during our stay. We loved having a kitchen and washer/dryer. The host communicated quickly and frequently with us. She checked on us through our stay with email and was so kind. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Florence.

Wonderful vist and amazing owner

Our 2 weeks in the purple suite were ideal. Great location close to all of the major sights and less than 10 minutes to train station. The owner, Mariangela, is the most helpful person we have dealt with. Was there to meet our cab on arrival, arranged one for our departure, and checked in several times to ensure everything was OK. Between her and the beauty that is Tuscany, we had a lovely trip. And the bed was so comfortable! The News Cafe is right below and has great cappuccino and croissants. Many good restaurants within 2 blocks and San Lorenzo Market and Mercato Centrale starts two blocks away. Would recommend this location to all who like to be in the midst of an exciting city.

Wonderful apartment in a great location

We absolutely loved our stay in the Purple Apartment. Mariangela was brilliant, she met us at the apartment and showed us around, leaving us with plenty information about the flat and the surrounding area. It really made us feel so at home. The apartment was exactly what we needed, perfect location (only 2 minutes from the Duomo and 5 minutes from the station). We'd absolutely recommend and would definitely stay here again if we return to Florence!

Nice and clean apartment in historic part of Florance

We enjoyed the apartment. It's close to most of tourist attractions of florance and also plenty of restaurants and shops are steps away. The building itself is an older historic building but the unit is newly updated and fully equipped. The reasons I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because this a loft and not an apartment as advertised. The bedroom is not separate as advertised. Also there is no elevator in the building so if you have lots of luggage be prepared for a good hike carrying them upstairs.

Nicely appointed studio in good location

The purple suite is a nicely appointed studio apartment located in a bustling neighborhood close to many Florence attractions such as the beautiful Duomo and the Medici chapels. It is also in walking distance of the train station which was very handy for our travels. There are plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and shops nearby. The building is charming and old, with many steps to the apartment on the second floor. One thing to note is that this is a studio -- one big room separated by an attractive purple divider. There is a king sized bed behind the divider and a pull out couch in the main living space that also holds a kitchen wall and glass table for seating. We were a party of five so an additional cot was supplied. There is one bathroom which is quite modern and clean with good water pressure and heat. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and Mariangela is responsive to emails. I think this apartment is ideal for a couple or a family with one or possibly two young children.

EXCELLENT

This apartment was absolutely perfect for our stay in Florence. It was cute, clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The location is close to the downtown area as well as the train yet quiet. Mariangela was very accommodating, kind and professional. She showed us how to use the devices in the apartment and talked to us about some of the sites in Florence. In our 18 day journey in Europe, this was our favorite place we stayed. A+ perfect, highly recommend.

Excellent. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the Purple Suite during our April 2016 honeymoon. Of the 5 apartments we rented, this was the nicest and cleanest. The apartment is modern and well equipped. The location was extremely convenient. Mariangela was kind and easy to deal with. My husband and I want to return to Florence and would love to stay at the Purple Suite again.

Immer wieder gerne!

Wir (zwei Erwachsene und drei Kinder) haben vier Nächte in diesem Apartment verbracht und können es nur weiterempfehlen. Perfekte Lage, ruhig und doch zentral, alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuss erreichbar, sehr, sehr sauber und mit Mariangela eine perfekte Gastgeberin: besser geht es fast nicht! Für uns ist auf jeden Fall klar: Wenn wir wieder nach Florenz kommen, dann hierher! Andy

Amazing Apartment with great location!!

I stayed in the purple apartment and it was fabulous. High ceilings, clean, updated appliances and all the amenities that you need. Mariangela was great to work with and answered any questions very promptly. The apartment is right in the center of Florence. It is less than a 5 minute walk to the train station. Great places to eat and sights to see right out the front door. I would highly recommend staying here and if given the chance to come back I will definitely be staying here again.

Lovely large airy apartment, with a guardian angel

The apartment is large and airy, with all necessary amenities. But more important to us was the kindness of Mariangela Minervini, who volunteered to be our contact with the airlines when our 2 large bags were left in Paris by Air France. Mariangela communicated with the airline and with us, until the bags were delivered. But more important was when my husband slipped on the road and hit his head on the curb, Mariangela communicated with the emergency room personnel at the hospital and served as emergency contact if something went wrong while he was under observation in the Emergency Room. 2 MRI's later, he was discharged with a few stitches and is now fine. However, it was such a comfort to have Mariangela as a friend to whom we could turn in times of trouble in a foreign country. She also called a cab for our departure time, to get us to the airport. The cab was even a few minutes early, which was great! The apartment is close to several very good restaurants which are inspected and certified by the Italian Celiac Association as being able to provide safe meals for celiacs. This was a wonderful plus, as we rarely eat out at home. Grazie, Grazie, Mariangela! You helped save our vacation from lost baggage and a trip to the hospital! We hope to come back again soon.

Fabulous apartment for small family!

We stayed in the purple apartment and it was just perfect for us. Mariangela was able to provide us with all we needed for our 18 month old, it really made things easy (kids dishes, highchair, porta crib). We loved how we were right in the centro of Firenze, it was wonderful. We also had all we needed to cook a simple meal when we felt like it. The apartment is well appointed and very clean. It's great to stay somewhere that looks like the pictures and not worn and old when you see it in person. Mariangela was great and answered any questions we had prior to our arrival. Upon arrival she also booked us our taxi to the airport which was very helpful! We would definitely stay here again, just need to save up for our next trip!

Great apartment in the center of Florence

The purple apartment was in an excellent location in Florence. My family of 3 were very comfortable and had plenty of space. It was nice to have a 'home' for a week and really feel what it is like to live in Florence. It took us 5 minutes to walk to the Duomo and only a few minutes to get to many of the other important historical monuments. Mariangela was a fantastic host and was quick to respond to my questions. She was friendly, helpful and very professional. This place was much better than a hotel room! I would recommend this to a small family or couple.

great apartment

Location, location, location. This completely updated apartment is a short walk from the train station even with luggage and everything else you want to see in Florence. It is also convenient to catch various buses at the Train station to other parts of the city like we did to Piazzale Michelangelo and Boboli gardens. Apartment is just as it looks in all the photos, modern and spacious with great natural light. Best of all, it is just around the corner from the famous Mercato Centrale, which has everything you could possibly want fresh to cook in your fully equipped kitchen plus plenty of food already made to either be consumed there or bring home with you for later. There is also a smaller Conad nearby for when the Mercato Centrale is closed. Being so near Mercato Centrale is a huge plus. Don't miss it! Apartment is in a busy, touristy area so if solace and quiet is what you seek then this place is not for you, (although it was surprisingly quiet in the apartment with the windows closed) but if you want to walk just minutes to the Duomo and the other main attractions this apartment is perfect. The host is gracious and friendly. To get away from the crowds head towards Piazza Santa Maria Novella and it's a short walk to the Arno river at Ponte Alla Carraia, a great spot to watch the sunset on Ponte Vecchio. Across Ponte Alla Carraia, look for Trattoria Angiolino recommended in the apartment guest book and a fantastic authentic Tuscan dining experience. Plan to spend a couple of hours and tell Alessandro Judi sent you! Thank you Mariangela! It was a pleasure to stay here.

just like staying at your friends house

A professionally run but extremely comfortable apartment. We saw just the right amount of the of the owner, she was there when needed her but she did not not try to take over. The apartments location is perfect with a five minute walk to the Duomo, the rail and the markets. Many restaurants are nearby and Mariangelas are well worth following. Will we stay here again when next In Florence.? Yes please, it is fantastic.
