Lucia is very good host, she accommodated our late check in as our flight arrived after 10pm. Appartment is located on small street and also in the center of the city with several minutes walk to main attractions. We found this place very clean and it has all we needed for the short stay in the city. We would stay there again if we return to Florence.

Valentyna thank you very much for your review. I' m glad that you enjoyed your stay in my apt, and thank you to you for choosing it among so many others. Hope to host you again, Lucia
Lovely, clean apartment with excellent location. Minutes away from the train station and yet felt safe and secure for those that don't know neighborhoods or are - like me - women traveling solo. Check-in process and host were easy to work with and the lovely person who met me with the keys very charming.I was in Florence as I was caught over a weekend in Italy for work - so wanted a place to relax, cook, drink a glass of wine, and do some quick basic laundry that was not a hotel. This apartment was perfect. Market just around the corner for food; wine store just around the corner for Barolo. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking basic meals. Bed was comfortable, and the AC/heat units worked well. I would absolutely return and recommend to friends.

Thank you very much for your great review : )
I hope to host you again, Lucia
We had a fabulous vacation in Florence and this property was the icing on the cake. Lucia was very helpful with getting us set and answering any questions we had. The fact that it had a working washer and dryer was a huge bonus for us. Feel free to book with confidence.

What a great property. Host was perfect. Property location was perfect. I had everything I needed within reach or small walk. All my favorite restaurants and activities. Train station being so close helped me get to and from other parts of Italy seamlessly. Absolute perfection.

Hi Chad, Thank you so much for your review! Hope to host you again, Lucia
Very large spacious apartment. Big bedroom with a real and comfortable king sized bed. Large salone as well. Plus a fully equipped kitchen and even washing machine and dishwasher. Was there with my husband for a working vacation. Lucia arranged for us each to have a writing table. Very quiet but right in the center of town. Beautiful wood beamed ceilings and excellent lighting in apt. 5 min walk to the Duomo, train station, and mercato centrale— all in different directions. Ponte Vecchio a 10 min walk. Lucia and her husband were very welcomingd. It was totally great!!!And very clean!!And great view of dome of medici chapel.

Dear Sheila, it was a pleasure to host you! I'm very happy that you enjoyed everything, the apartment, the location and the surrounding areas : ) Thank you, best, Lucia
The host Lucia was very easy to communicate with. It was easy to arrange the checkin and checkout processes. She and her husband were also prompt in helping me with a minor issue during the stay. The view from the kitchen and living area were lovely too, and the apartment is very conveniently situated. Fantastic stay!

About the host
Hosted by Lucia Poggiali
Being the manager and owner of two small structures, Regina apartment 3953908 and Principio apartment 896240 (you can read over one hundred 5 stars reviews) allows me to welcome you in person and to answer the questions that will inevitably arise in a new city, country or continent. The moment of check-in is a fundamental moment for me to get to know my guests, present the apartment, answer your questions about museums, restaurants or events in the city.
Myself, or a trusted person from my staff, will be present for any needs before and after during your stay.
Why they chose this property
The San Lorenzo neighborhood is one of the most characteristic of Florence. I chose it 7 years ago when I started managing Principio Apartment (vrbo 896240) of which you can read the over 100 5 star reviews. Regina and Principio apartment are located in the same building, in Via dell'Alloro.
I also chose this neighborhood because it's a 10 minutes walk from Santa Maria Novella Train Station (the main station in downtown Florence) to facilitate the arrival of the guests who reach Florence by train.
To reach Regina Apartment from the station, the easiest way is from the Underpassage you find under the station (use the escalator you find near the central exit of the station and then take left - you'll find the underpassage). Follow the underpassage to the end and you will find yourself in Via Panzani, from there you will reach Regina and Principio Apartments in a few minutes.
in 5 minutes.
What makes this property unique
In the San Lorenzo district you can visit the Medici chapels and the Basilica of San Lorenzo, the oldest cathedral in Florence.
One of the attractions of this neighborhood is the Central Market. On the ground floor you will find the shops of butchers, greengrocers and fishmongers while on the first floor a peculiar environment with part of the ceiling in colored glass and a variety of restaurants where you can eat pizza, truffles, fried foods, lampredotto and even Sicilian specialities, vegan and vegetarian food, meat, fish, ice cream....
