Great apartment in a great location.

Beautiful apartment in the heart of Florence

We stayed in Carla's beautiful little apartment during Easter week and enjoyed every minute of it. The apartment is very nice inside and it's actually good that it doesn't face a street as there's a lot of nightly noise in the town centre. To get to the apartment you climb three steep floors and then - presto - you step into this wonderfully renovated apartment with three rooms and a bathroom. There's everything you need in the apartment and it's very beautifully and personally decorated. When you step outside you're two steps from the Duomo in one direction and San Lorenzo in the other direction. There is an abundance of restaurants in the street and a very good supermarket specializing in local food just across the street. There is A/C in the apartment, but I can imagine that it could be a bit stuffy and hot during the really hot season in July and August. But it's a perfect place to stay outside the high season, nine - ten months of the year.

This apartment was perfect for a stay in the heart of Florence! Great location just off the Piazza S. Giovanni near the Duomo and close to many of the Medici museums and palaces. Good restaurants close by and grocery store just across the street! Carla took care to ensure we arrived safely by meeting us directly upon our arrival. She also helped with parking and taxi service which is a challenge but went smoothly. From the bedroom windows you can view and hear the Duomo bell tower!! Overall, fabulous stay with special touches from Carla, highly recommend. The apartment is on the third floor of the building with steep steps and no elevator.

Carla was wonderful!! She drugged my girlfriend’s bag from the station to the apartment. Location was A ! One small note to Carla. Wash cloths would be great for the bathroom shower. A note to travelers if you are older or disabled, the walk up the stairs could be difficult. Other than that wonderful!!

Five Star Accommodation

Excellent location, in the heart of historic Florence. All major attractions within easy walking distance. Apartment very clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything that you could want for a self catering holiday with additional thoughtful touches such as tea and coffee to get you started on arrival. There is a supermarket opposite and 5 mins walk away as well as a nearby under cover market opened every morning selling fresh meat fish, fruit, vegetables and much more. Situated on a bustling street with many eateries, however, the apartment was at the rear of the building and therefore very quiet. Carla is a marvellous hostess, great communication before and during our stay, met us at the train station, gave helpful tips on tourist attractions and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Would return. Highly recommended.

Fantastic week in Florence

Carla is the best host we have ever had at a vacation rental. She picked us up at the train station, helped us with reservations, cancellations, and recommendations. Staying at Carla’s place is like having a friend in Florence. She even offered to come get us when our train to our next vacation stop was very delayed. The apartment itself is beautiful (with a view of the Campanille from the bed), super clean, in a fantastic location, and has every comfort—even a Nespresso machine, and Carla leaves pods and biscuits! We would not hesitate to book Carla’s apartment again. Thank you so much, Carla!

Carlasflat review

This is a super place. Clean, quaint, has the feel of "old Firenze", right in a perfect place and within 2-4 blocks of a hundred cool places. Best of all is Carla; she was wonderful to work with, she bent over backwards to make our stay the best it could be. She was totally appropriate with our leaving early because of the Covid-19 virus exploding in Italy. Totally good. dfb

Absolutely wonderful place to stay in the heart of Florence

Carla's flat was a most delightful and wonderful " home sweet home" for my 6 week stay in Florence. I couldn't have picked a better place to stay, with Carla being the perfect host! She offered to pick me up from the train station and helped me carry up my luggage to the apartment, as well as providing really good eating and sightseeing recommendations....so thank you Carla for all your help and kindness. The apartment is really well located, right in the heart of Florence and within walking distance to everything! It's only a few steps from the magnificent Duomo, restaurants and supermarket. There is even a view of the Duomo Bell Tower from the bedroom. Carla has tastefully decorated her flat to make for a most comfortable stay. The kitchen is very well appointed and there is a super large shower and comfortable large double bed. I would gladly return to Carla's flat next time I take a holiday in Florence.

Beautiful Firenze!

The apartment was in a perfect location and Carla made everything easy! She took the time to explain not only what we needed to know about the apartment but also showed us on a map where we should go and how to get there. We stayed in the apartment for a month and were enchanted with Florence, Tuscany and what we saw of Italy. It was truly the trip of a lifetime and Carla and her "Flat" made it even more enjoyable. We hope to return at some time!

Great Welcome, Outstanding Location

We spent just six days in Florence so location was very important; the apartment is positioned literally around the corner from the Duomo, so all of the major attractions are within easy walking distance. The apartment is fully fitted, comfortable for two, less convenient for three or four. Carla could not have made us more welcome, meeting us at the station, showing the way to the apartment, while helping haul the luggage: could not have been a better start to our stay.

Idyllic flat in the heart of Florence

Spacious flat with an excellent kitchen (loved the gas cooktop) & Giotto's Campanile viewable lying in bed. Unbelievably quiet given the location. Carla is an excellent hostess, made sure we knew all the ins & outs of the flat, as well as tips for things to do & see. Her binder has a wonderful set of walking tours of the Oltrarno, which we did not have time to do on this trip but now has us dreaming about the next one to Firenze; it's one of our favorite cities with wonderful people, art, architecture, food, and culture. We'll be back and seeking out Carla's flat for our next visit.

Best apartment we’ve stayed at in Italy so far!

The location couldn’t be more central; right off the Piazza Duomo. We walked everywhere. Carla met us at the train station, and made sure we had all our questions answered. The apartment has windows on 3 sides, so lots of fresh air. Well decorated and comfortable. (Though expect to hear the bells from the bell tower first chime at 7am, and the soft clatter of dishes bring washed in the restaurant next door at night.) The apartment’s kitchen was equipped well enough for us to cook several meals - There is a grocery right across the street. Lots of great restaurants and nice little shops nearby as well. We were here for 6 nights, and highly recommend it. If we ever get back to Firenze, this is where we would want to stay.

Best Vacation Rental Location in Florence

Carla was very gracious and helpful in many ways. She met us at the train station and assisted us with our luggage as we walked approximately 10 minutes to the apartment. Her orientation was excellent with a detailed map of the city, great restaurant and sightseeing/day-trip recommendations. We never had to contact her about anything. We loved this comfortable apartment and we had all the kitchen/dining and bath supplies we needed. There are two sofas in the apartment which as a couple allowed us to have individual chill spaces. What's more, we could not hear street noise. In fact, we were always happy to go outside where there was a vibrant world of pure joy. There are restaurants, shops, museums, etc. on the doorstep or nearby. Battistero, Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, Galleria dell'Accademia are short walks to visit. We were proud of ourselves for selecting this apartment. It was a perfect stay!

I'm Tuscan and i adore every part of this region. I adore travel and i try to treat my guests like i would like to be treated. I hope to be able to make your holiday as pleasent as possible!

Why they chose this property

It's the ideal location to visit Florence: in the hearth of the city you can live like a typical florentine citizen and enjoying the best part of this wonderful city.

What makes this property unique

At the opposite side of the street where is located the apartment there is a supermarket open everyday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm (21.00) also on Sunday. I suggest also to visit the Historical market of San Lorenzo at five minuts by walk from the apartment where you can buy every type of food from 7:00am to 2:00 pm (14) and eat or drink at the first floor from 10am to midnight everyday!
