Family Vacation

Beautiful place but the upstairs shower was non-functioning. Two showers were one of the reasons we chose this place. It was expensive so the value was not great for us.

The apartment was precisely as described on the website. It was beyond beautiful and a 20 minute walk from city center

Florence apartment

This property is beautifully decorated and has plenty of space on (2) floors. About a week before arrival, I received a correspondence that there may be a water pressure problem in the apartment, which there was, in the 2nd floor bathroom. Four of us ended up sharing the one bath on the main floor. The kitchen lacked things that you would think would be included...like a spatula, paper towels or napkins, maybe salt and pepper or a toaster. The gentleman that let us in did not give us much information on the workings of things in the place other than the lift was not working and the flat is on the 4th floor. We were left one set of keys for the four of us.

The apartment itself was beautiful. However it was not worth what we paid.Aircon worked in only 3 out of 4 bedrooms…so sleeping at night was unbearable! The floors were filthy, the aircon in the lounge was leaking, puddles of water behind a lovely leather couch, stains down the wall. So obviously not a new thing but it hasn’t been attended to.No instructions for appliances or welcome manual for local things to do/see. No instructions for trash or anything! We found the washing machine a nightmare to use. While it’s a fairly straight forward 20 mins walk into the center of Florence, getting Ubers & taxis is hard work and expensive!!!Not the best value for money.

Highly recommend

Very nice, clean, spacious, well-appointed apartment in a very nice neighborhood within walking, biking, riding distance to old town. Nice balcony and private garden for relaxing as well. Daniel is a delightful property manager who makes himself available at all times, provides great information and recommendations. We very much enjoyed our stay and would happily stay there again and/or recommend to others. Thank you Daniel, hope to see you again someday.

Beautiful property

Overall, this property is amazing. It is located about a mile from major museums and touristy sites. Normally, this would be fine, but we had one individual with mobility issues, and we learned quickly that getting cabs in this neighborhood takes a lot of time. The check in process is always more difficult than the US since it seems the preference is for someone to meet you on-site rather than just use a lock box. The individual meeting us was quick to arrive and gave us most important info. The only real drawback was there were no written instructions or anything. At one point a fuse blew and it took quite some time to get it fixed, but it seemed like a common issue. Maybe a binder with information like where the fuse boxes are located, check out procedures (i.e. where to put trash, used bedding, etc.) would be helpful. Overall, the property was beautiful with plenty of space and a large kitchen. the location is great (as long as you don't have mobility issues), there are lots of restaurants nearby, and the management was responsive to calls and questions. I would recommend this property to friends visiting the area.

Firenze og Ippopotamo

Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold i leiligheten, den er helt strøken. Nydelig innredet med vakre møbler, og med balkongen med nydelig utsikt over takene i Firenze. Det var rent og godt utstyrt. Kontakten med utleier gikk uten problemer. Mirko møtte opp som avtalt. Stille og rolig strøk, en kort gåtur fra de store attraksjonene. Vi anbefaler den på med varmeste. Vi var 6, men det var god plass til 8 personer.
