Wonderful... and very hard to leave!

We received a warm welcome and helpful advice and suggestions from Nicolo- very much appreciated! Don’t miss ”per’che no“ for gelato and the via dei Neri bars! The apartment was beautiful and spacious, with everything you could need, and exactly as advertised. The location was very central and convenient, and of course the Duomo is just down the road... We had an excellent stay, and it was difficult to leave. We’d be back in a heartbeat.

Great Apartment!!

The apartment was spacious! And it couldn’t have been located in a better place. It’s centrally located which makes it easier if you want to explore. The concierge was great, very helpful and suggested some great restaurants local to the area. I would come back and stay!

Schöne große Wohnung im Herzen von Florenz

Schöne, große, historische Wohnung auf oberster Etage, in der wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Die Lage ist super um alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Gut sortierter kleiner Supermarkt gleich nebenan. Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nähe. Das erste Schlafzimmer geht zur Straße raus, das mittlere hat kein Fenster, das man öffnen kann, an das dritte schliesst die Terrasse an. Alle drei sind ausreichend groß und mit genügend Schränken ausgestattet. Es gibt Klimaanlage und Heizung, so dass man gut temperieren konnte. Sehr gute feste Matrazen und zwei unterschiedlich feste Kissen zur Auswahl. Der Wohn-/Eßbereich ist prima für vier Personen und ausreichend mit Geschirr und Zubehör ausgestattet. Die Bäder sind beide sehr klein, das eine fast schon winzig. Es gab ein Starterpaket mit Seifen, Shampoo, Toilettenpapier und Spülmittel. Die ruhige und überdachte Terrasse war toll und ist mit Esstisch und Couch ausgestattet.

Relaxing stay in Florence

So much space and privacy and the outdoor space was so perfect to eat and read and it had a beautiful view of the area. The apartment was perfectly stocked with dishes and coffee maker and blankets. We also enjoyed the books and games.

Florence.....so much to see from this ideal spot Vrbo rental

Property on the top floor with no lift so be prepared to walk up a few steps. Apartment was a decent size with 3 good bedrooms....although you can hear every word between 2 of the bedrooms....paper thin walls. The 3rd bedroom was off set from the main living room and kitchen but did have access to outdoor balcony space....which was nice. The apartment was "trendy" in design but we didn't use the kitchen as out most of the time. Only negative.....2 bathrooms but 1 bathroom was super tiny and difficult to use the toilet due to space. Great location and we received good recommendations for local restaurants.

February in Florence

Our stay was great! The location was an incredible spot. Right in the heart of the duomo, and walking distances to many museums, restaurants and city sites! The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed and had plenty of space for us. Be prepared to walk up 4 flights of stairs, but it was a great way to get a small workout in ;). Highly recommend staying here and we look forward to coming back!

Pluses and minuses

Communication was not all through VRBO. It made the process harder because we were sent multiple different WhatsApp phone numbers and made to communicate with different individuals via WhatsApp versus email versus VRBO.Upon arrival one of our party members got locked in a bathroom because there was no handle installed (it was later found in a drawer), the one shower was noted to have mold above it and be leaking, and the curtain in the master bedroom broke when the individual who was checking us in was showing us how to raise and lower the curtain. This was unfortunately not repaired during our stay and the sunrise, while beautiful, comes directly in that window.Additionally, the dryer did not work and there was a very heavy perfume smell that was difficult for some of our party. The stairs are as noted. The view is lovely and does put you in a very easy / accessible location.

Great location, beware extra charges

The stay itself was great!! The location of the apartment is great. Restaurants and shops are just outside the door. The layout of the apartment was great for our family. We were traveling with my son and his wife and 2 kids, ages 7 and 10. Now for the not so good. When we arrived we found that we were at the wrong address. The street has 2 addresses with the same number, at opposite ends of the street. It was an issue for us because it was raining when we arrived and we stood out in the rain until we were finally met by Alessandra and escorted to the apartment. She showed us the apartment and then advised us that we owed a 100 euro fee and a tax of 99 Euros. I found the 100 fee in the description of the property. It was hidden in the fine print. The tax was not disclosed. I paid the fees and then I checked and found that there was no tax on the kids. We were pretty sure that there was no tax on the kids since we had just stayed in Rome and paid the tax there. Alessandra took the money anyway and left. She told me that the owner would be calling me to discuss this. I paid it just to avoid any problems. I am still waiting on the call. One of the bathrooms was very small. The shower is smaller than any shower I have ever seen and I have been on more than a few cruises. The washer/dryer does not dry. Not at all! The toilet was almost under the sink. Hard for an adult to use.

Spacious and quaint apartment in great location!

Great location, lots of room and very comfortable beds! Everything was under 20 min walk. The patio was amazing and we made the most of it even with the colder weather. Had everything we needed! One downside was low water pressure in one bathroom and very tight space around the toilet in the other. But well worth it for the overall amazing space!

Expectations

After pouring over property reviews, I was expecting top notch. The location and layout were great. We had issues with checking in: untimely, hard to get responses, waited 2 hours, property manager didnt meet us & had cleaning staff try to explain property amid language issues. I appreciated the apology from homeowner who was helpful & tried to make things right. The 4th floor walkup was 76 steps which should be noted. The bathrooms were very narrow and short. If we were larger sized, one would be almost unusable. The dryer didnt work well- took multiple hours to dry very small load and had to hang clothes anyway. There was no communication about checkout expectations.

Florence stay

Location, location, location! We could not beat the location as it was just blocks away from the Duomo! However, there are several flights of stairs and no elevator so I would think twice if you have big luggage or have any difficulty with stair climbing. By the second day, we didn't even notice the stairs. Another issue was the mosquitoes. My husband got over 15 bites in one night- we stopped counting after 15. They were aggressive. We only had the door open twice to the balcony but we also didn't know this would be an issue. We tried burning citronella on the balcony but it didn't help. Maybe it is only a seasonal issue (we were there in Oct), but if you are prone to getting bitten, they will find you! As for the accommodations, they were good but had few issues. We didn't cook at all but we definitely used the coffee maker and refrigerator:) The primary bedroom had a great bed. The middle bedroom needs a new mattress as you can feel the springs. The third bedroom by the door was fine. The bathrooms were tight - to be expected in an apartment this old. However, we are a tall family (all 6 feet and taller) and we could barely fit in one of the showers so we had to all use the bathroom closer to the primary.bedroom.

When we booked this in our search w had specific search criteria as being handicap accessible which was one reason for choosing, unfortunately this location is not that be sure you are able to walk up & carry up luggage 78 steps to enter the apartment.

Perfect location, beautiful apartment

Our family had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Florence. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms provided ample space for us to spread out, and we particularly enjoyed relaxing on the balcony with views of the city and Duomo. The convenient location near shops, groceries, pharmacies, and restaurants made it easy for us to access everything we wanted to see. The apartment was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. Our family truly enjoyed our visit, and we appreciated the unique features and architecture of the apartment that made our stay memorable.

Florence

The amenities as listed were not included such as the jacuzzi or grill. We lost power several times during our stay. We were told that we could not run more than a few things at the same time our the fuse would blow. The breaker is located at the floor level which is about 90 steps. The toilet seat was not attached and I spent time putting it back together. The other toilet is literally 6" from the shower and you can not use unless you sit sideways and put your legs into the shower to make room. The upper stair way light does not work, so it is very dark and we had to use our cell phone lights to climb the last flight of stairs after dark. There are 90 stairs, so please be aware that if you have luggage to carry, you will be exhausted by the time you get to the apartment. Even without luggage.

Amazing apartment!

The apartment was even better than the photos. It was stocked with everything you would want in an apartment rental, and more. There were ample utensils, knives (sharp!), cutting boards, gorgeous wine glasses and champagne flutes. Each bedroom had huge closets with several hangers in each. The beds were very comfortable and clean. The living/dining area is very large with plenty of room for guests to spread out after a long day of sight-seeing and gelato-eating. The bathrooms were great - one is a bit bigger than the other but both clean and fully functioning with good water pressure. The terrace - THE TERRACE - is so much better than the pictures show. A view of the Duomo, a dining table and outdoor couch are there for you to enjoy your morning coffee or dinner. There are lights out there so you can enjoy it in the evenings. The only thing to note is the apartment is on the 4th floor without elevator. Get yourself in great shape before, and believe me by the end of your stay you will be able to climb those stairs without issue! I would not hesitate to stay here again. The host was extremely helpful with our booking.

We loved this VRBO and highly recommend it! It has 3 bedrooms which was great, a large kitchen, a deck, 2 bathrooms and a washer and dryer which was super helpful. It was right next to the DUOMO which was fantastic and walking distance to everything. The showers were super small but I think that is a europe thing. Would definitely stay there again.
