Thanks so much for the best stay. The apartment was very spacious, clean and laid out nicely for our family and friends. Communication with Andreas was always in a timely manner. Check in was quick and easy. Location was very safe with bakery, restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Highly recommend this to everyone.
We had a wonderful stay. The apartment was very comfortable, a home away from home, in a fabulous location. The host was very responsive and kind, and we were greeted by Sibilla who was so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
We had a great stay. The location is brilliant, loads of lovely bars, restaurants and antique shops close by and a lovely walk along the Arno into the centre of Florence. Huge, comfy bedrooms and great check in / check out experience. Loved it & would book again in a flash.
I stayed in Andrea’s property for a whole month and it was the perfect home base for my family’s time in Florence! I can’t recommend it enough. It’s got a ton of space for two families (we were 6), two great bathrooms, and a well stocked kitchen. We loved the comfortable living space, too, with 2 great couches. It’s in an incredible location in Oltarno and we were so close to everything! Definitely would stay here again!
Very comfortable place. We were 6 adults plus a seven month old baby and the appartment was perfect!!Location is amazing. Very close to many restaurants and food market, coffee places, train station and city center.Host was avaible quickly when we communicated with him.Overall a very nice stay in this place
We had a great time in this very nice and well-tended apartment, located within walking distance to the main station (Firenze S. M. N.) and all major sightseeing spots.
Andrea was a warm and welcoming host. He provided a great deal of information to us prior to arrival. His information booklet was a terrific help. We loved the neighbourhood. The coffee shop (Manly's) right outside the apartment has a perfect espresso, while just down the street is a slew of delicious places to eat, or get your hair done, or have gelato, or buy some groceries. Enjoy your stay as this area has all you will need. It is very safe to wander at night.
Stayed for 10 days with spouse, and 3 kids. Very comfortable stay, easy access to pretty much everything! Walkable from the train station, generally pretty quiet neighborhood, and made a great home away from home. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Dear Peter
I thank you for your review.
I like if my guests enjoy their stay in my apartment.
I spend mostly of my life in Naples and every time I am in Florence I work to sort and reorganize the apartment.
Thanks a lot for your contribution.
Kind regards.
Andrea
Very nice and professional interaction with the property owner from the initial booking until the end of our stay. We will definitely return to this property when we return to Florence!
His accomdations was amazing! His home was beautiful and the photos don't do it justice. The neighborhood was wonderul, plenty of places to eat and walkable to the train station to travel locally and to different regions. I will definitely stay here again and i will be back to explore more of Florence. I recommend this property to anyone who is traveling to Italy.
Beautiful apartment located in a great area to explore Florence. Easy to communicate with our hosts in advance to help with taxis and so on. Would stay here again if ever back in Florence.
Excellent stay, close to everything with every needed amenity. Extremely spacious with more than enough room for our large group of 5. Well decorated, two large bathrooms, washer and dryer. We appreciated the coffee and house book. Highly recommend!!
We had a fantastic stay. Great location, quiet neighborhood but within walking distance to everywhere we needed to go. Loved the binder with super clear explanation of everything we needed to know.
Fabulous host and property manager. Communicated swiftly and allowed us to check in and check out our luggage outside of stated times which was great! The apartment is situated south of the river in oltrano, a far less touristy part of Florence but full of vibrant bars and restaurants and small shops. Plenty of places to eat locally alongside many Italians who eat there too! Only a 15 minute walk from the train station and 20 minutes to ponte vecchio. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here.
Our family of 7 was extremely comfortable in this apartment. Our host Andrea was very helpful prior to our visit. Sibilli the property manager was the best, she helped us with so many suggestions. We really enjoyed Florence and hope to one day go back.
The apartment was fantastic! Super comfortable and well equipped and quiet. Perfect location - easy walk to all the places one wants to see in Florence and away from the crowds. The neighboring shops (greengrocer and bakery) were wonderful with lovely owners.
We will TOTALLY stay here again on our next trip
