When we arrived on a cold, rainy night after a long flight, it was a joy to enter the warm, comfortable, and beautiful apartment. We enjoyed spending time in the kitchen where we would enjoy our coffee and discuss the events of the day, especially after a long day of exploring Florence. We loved the spaciousness of the rooms and the lovely decor. I already miss being there and hope to be able to come back some day.

Timothy it was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I'm sorry that my parking space was not available for you, but you only asked me for it the day before arrival. It is necessary that the request reaches me at the time of booking or in any case a little in advance. I'm glad you spent some nice days in Florence

Very friendly, welcoming host. She met us at the apartment for an early check in so we could drop our bags. We were given a brief tour of the apartment and a thorough description of all the important things (stove, laundry, garbage, etc.) Apartment was our favorite on a 3 week Italy trip. The space, cleanliness, amenities, neighborhood, everything was perfect. Would highly recommend to other travelers and absolutely will book the next time we visit Florence.

Amazing stay

This was the perfect location for our time in Florence. It was close to the main train station for our day trips and was in a spot that wasn't busy, but extremely walkable to a lot of the places we wanted to see. The apartment itself was very cozy and had everything we needed. Alessandra was extremely helpful in everything from the check in process to great recommendations. If I get the pleasure to come back this will be where I want to stay again. Highly recommend. Thank you Alessandra!

Downtown Florence, Italy

Wanted to stay in the city so I could do a deep dive into Florence. Great location to stay at that allowed us to walk to all the sights, eat meals, partake of adult beverages without having to worry about driving and parking. Once we had seen about every thing in Florence, we rented a vehicle and explored Tuscany using the private parking at the residence. Everything went according to plan. Alexandria was the perfect host.

Great stay

Mimi's apartment is well located on a residential street (some nearby construction noise during our stay but otherwise quiet), about a 20-30 minute walk to the well known Firenze sites - Uffizi, Acaemia, Duomo. Many restaurant options nearby. Nicely appointed. The private garden is a pleasant bonus. Prompt response from Alessandra to all our questions.

Alessandra was actually waiting for us on the street so that she could open the parking gate for us. She gave great advice on restaurants, shops and attractions to visit, but, furthermore, welcomes us into her childhood apartment. Spacious, well-organized, with good air conditioning in one bedroom and the kitchen. A wonderful stay at a great location. Would definitely recommend.
