About this property
Florence Loft - Near Duomo
ITA An exclusive residence of 100 sqm on two floors built with extreme care enhancing the interiors with the intention of only one private use of mine. Today also at your disposal the apartment is divided into two floors - FIRST floor: enter an entrance-living room where you will find a double sofa bed with bathroom including shower, followed by a main bedroom overlooking the garden with double bed and second bathroom with shower. SECOND FLOOR a magnificent 50 sqm LOFT with lounge where there is a queen size bed and a beautiful kitchen made in wood by Florentine craftsmen and finished with a Carrara marble top. On this floor there is a small service bathroom, a closet with washer-dryer where you can store your bags. The whole apartment is paved in wood finished in oil. I made everything with particular attention to detail with the help of a studio of Florentine architects. The location is 10 minutes walk from the train station, and 5 minutes from the Duomo the cathedral and the main shopping streets. In the area you will find the famous cathedral of San Lorenzo, the 1800's San Lorenzo market where an entire floor dedicated to Florentine culinary specialties has recently been created. A feature that I love about my apartment is the absolute silence inside it despite being in the center.

Not the first time in Florence. Loved staying in the property. The property owner was very kind and accommodating. Very close to the local grocery store. Loved staying here!

Stefanie and Scott were fantastic hosts, great respect for the house. Excellent communication for check in.
We spent a week in Florence. The apartment was beautiful very clean and fully furnished. It is centrally located in the heart of Florence. Communication with Paola was excellent. Very prompt with any questions we had. When we return to Florence I will definitely stay here again.
Lots of Italian charm in this home! The host was terrific- always available for questions in a timely way. A great location - a 5-minute walk to local eateries and a 10-minute walk to sites and activities. We would stay here again!
This apartment is incredibly charming and comfortable! It is cutely decorated and has a well-stocked kitchen. The location is within easy walking distance of the historic town center and the train station. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful Apartments, Steps from the Market and Train Station
We had an amazing stay. The apartment is decorated beautifully and everything was very clean. Check-in was a breeze, the owner walked us through the entire house to show us how everything worked. The location was fantastic.
Loved our stay here! Quick walk to train station and the central market. Short walk to many of the Florence sites to see. Beautiful apartment!

Had 5 nights in Florence and wanted more space than a typical hotel. Paulo was a great host and kept in touch throughout. Very accommodating. Ten minute walk to Duomo and very quiet area. Apartment had plenty of room and 2 full baths, 2 half. Huge kitchen and dining area if you cared to stay in a do meals (but hard to do in Florence) I would def stay there again!!
We had a wonderful stay in this loft in Florence. The location was perfect for us since we traveled by train and wanted to be near great food and historic sights. We are a family of 5 ages 18-60 and the set up of the loft was good for us, though I wouldn’t say the loft has 3 bedrooms, more 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom spaces. Either way it was an amazing experience and we would definitely visit again.

It is always a great satisfaction to know that by sharing my apartment with my guest, I have contributed to making them happy.
Exceptionally decorated apartment in a strategic position a few steps away from both the centre and the main train station. Perfect for both Families and couples. Highly recommended.
The home is really nice, clean, and with great amenities. Paolo and Anastasia were very responsive and provided very helpful information for the area. We really enjoyed our stay.
Thank you Paolo and Anastasia!

We were overwhelmed by the niceness and warmth of the hosts - above and beyond.
The location is perfect for the Duomo, Uffizi etc.
All in all, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.

Nice apartment, minutes away from everything. Note: listed as 3BR but is actually 1 BR with 2 sofa beds (which were comfortable and easy to convert). Overall very pleasant and recommended
This location was central to everything and the host greeted us and gave us a tour of this home and showed us where everything was and how everything worked. This home was impeccably designed and was one of the highlights of our 1st visit to Florence. The pictures on this home don’t do it justice! We would love to come back and stay longer next time.

10/10. The property was as advertised and in very good condition. Perfect location. The host, Paolo, made everything easy and smooth. Also gave us good local recommendations. How VRBO experience should be. Will definitely stay again.
We travelled with our children from ages 13-21 and they all said this place was their favorite place to stay among all other places. The split level gave everyone their own space. Great amenities and very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for the nights we wanted to stay and cook. We also love the location as it was in the center of everything. Most importantly we felt very safe and relaxed there.

Lovely apartment but entrance into and up stairway not very attractive.
It was a great experience overall. The owner is very responsive and accommodating.
Located a Great area of Florence. The Duomo is only two or three short blocks away. On your way over there the roads are dotted with great restaurants to eat. Once you’re at the Duomo you can go to see all the sites. Our host was extraordinarily helpful in more ways than we could even describe. I would absolutely recommend this place. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks John it was a pleasure meeting you and hosting you. Hope to see you again soon. Paolo
The apartment is a short 10-15 minute walk from the train station and bus station. Several nice cafes and restaurants near by. The apartment is very clean and really nice. We loved the large kitchen, even though we didn’t food, we did bring back food to eat at the table. We felt very comfortable and safe. Highly recommended.

Thank you Richard it was a pleasure hosting you. I hope to have you as my guests again soon. Pailo
We loved our stay here! Paolo was so welcoming and easily able to accommodate our request of an infant cot / pack and play. The apartment had a beautiful, bright kitchen and was well located to be within walking distance to all of the Florence sights. There were stairs to get up to the apartment and in the apartment themselves which may be an issue for those with mobility issues, but they weren't an issue at all for us with a baby and a stroller. Would recommend!

What a great location. Easy to find public transport and a short walk into the main city area. It was very tidy, clean and quiet. If you don't like stairs then it isn't for you but we didn't find it a great problem.
