Great location, interesting building

We had a little mixup with the checkin, I was a little confused on who we had to contact. The owners are a nice couple that are there off and on. There is a small elevator, it works well. The unit has a living room that opens onto a small patio. Bedroomhas a comfortable bed, a changing, large bathroom. The shower is not the best needs a little more power. The washer works well, no dryer, easy to hang up and dry. The location is perfect location to access the sites.

Awesome, if you want class and Italian style this is it. Not a brand new hotel, this place has been in their family for generations and is run well. It was like going back in time and staying at grandma's house. Great location, 10 minute walk from SMN train station, everything walkable, highest recommendation.

Experience the real Firenze

The building is located in the center of Florence where the shopping is incomparable. You’re five minutes away from everything. The owners were gracious and wonderful hosts. The apartment is exactly as advertised. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony and had lots of room with a large sitting room bedroom dressing, room, and bathroom. I can’t wait to return!

Firenze magic

This was a wonderful apartment in central Florence. Feeling like we had stepped back in time, it was comfortable and clean. The outdoor space was ideal for breakfast and a glass of wine at night. Hosts were excellent. Many fine restaurants close by ( best was Giovanni's). Hope to teturn soon.

Wonderful safe apartment, excellent location, good bed

My wife and I really enjoyed a week at this great location. It is right by the high-end shopping street Via de' Tornabuoni, so is a very secure area. It was our 5th trip to Florence so we felt right at home. We generally like 5 -Star hotels in Europe, and were very pleased w this apartment. Was always quiet. The bed mattress was in very good condition, medium-firm I'd say, which is important for those with back issues. Small US-type drip coffee maker provided in addition to Italian type. Small refrigerator was perfect for our needs, since mostly we ate out. Nice bakery 3 doors down. Hair-dryer is provided. Heat wave while there, but the AC functioned well. As they note, you will need Euro in cash to deposit and then later settle up for additional electricity fees for AC ( was a total of about E-95 for 7days); we kept it cool at 20 degree C while there average of about 9 hrs/day, but bumped it up to 25C when we were out, if that gives you any guidance. We never had any problems w amount of hot water available for showers, as suggested by another review. Takes 30 sec for water temp adjustment to be realized since comes from a distance, so if you cool off the temp, it takes a while but easy to over-shoot so then could seem like you've run out of hot water....but if you will just wait a while for the adjustment back to warmer to take effect, you realize there is plenty. Easy once you figure out where to move the lever for next time. Even with electricity fee, total cost was similar to about 1 night's charge for 5-Star Savoy Hotel, not far away! We used small interior-facing balcony only for hanging some clothes out to dry. Small washing machine in bathroom was helpful. FYI, there's a large, full service grocery store w good prices close to the Duomo about a block off the north-western end of piazza called Sapori Dintorni (Conrad) w address about 16 Borgo San Lorenzo; otherwise easy to find small convenient stores for milk, OJ etc scattered around the area. Contact with Franco and his wife was very easy, made us feel at home. You'll get detailed instructions from ItalyPerfect after you sign up. Franco offered to help arranging cab for departure, but we'd already arranged a car for pickup. Size was fine for a couple. Would definitely stay there again, or in the even larger apartment just across the hall, owned and run by same family.

Fantastic Florence location but some things to consider before booking

We very much enjoyed our stay in beautiful Florence, and this apartment is in perfect walking location from all the hot spots. It was roomy, comfortable and met our needs, and the owners are very kind. There are three things to consider, however, before booking this apartment. First, the hot water ran out pretty quickly. There were only two of us but we had to shower very quickly in order to preserve enough hot water for us both. Second, the mosquitos in the apartment were very annoying at night. We had our balcony doors open for only about 30 minutes total in 6 days, but every night we were awakened by that annoying mosquito buzz in our ears, and we woke up with several bites, no matter how many we thought we killed. Third, the balcony photo is deceiving. We were specifically looking for a place with a balcony and thought we had hit the jackpot when we found this place. What you can't clearly see in the photo is that the view is of other buildings very close by. Despite that being our number one criteria, we ended up not using the balcony even once.

Just perfect!

First of all, the hosts - Miki, Franco and their son Marco- were so helpful and accommodating. The building itself is really cool. The entry way is a big archway, the elevator is an old fashioned lift and the archetecture has such character to it. Everything was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. I couldn't have asked for better. Just a 5-10 minute walk from the Santa Maria train station. You're just steps from Via Tornabuoni and the Arno river which makes it so easy to cross ponte vecchio and the other bridges for dinner, gelato or just a quick stroll. Also just minutes from The Duomo, Central Market, museums, panini shops etc. I couldn't recommend staying here more. I would stay again the next time that I travel to Florence!!

Spacious

It one of the quiet places we stayed in. A balcony was a pleasant surprise. Very spacious for our items to be spread out. The location was great near the railway station, above a coffee house & bakery. No problem making breakfast. Only a slight annoyance was the kitchen located in a piece of furniture & you needed to open when you wanted to open.

Lovely Hosts and Charming Apartment

This apartment is conveniently placed for visitors who want to visit museums, historical sites, and high end shopping. The hosts and their son couldn't be nicer and are very attentive and thorough in their orientation. The apartment, itself, feels like a sanctuary: it's quiet, has air conditioning, has good appliances, and is charmingly decorated. We were first time visitors to Florence and rushing a bit to jam in a lot of experiences, but we always returned to the apartment mid-day to relax and refresh. I should say a bit more about the hosts, who greeted us with bottled water in the refrigerator and a bottle of Tuscan wine on the table, and who offered to drive us to the train station when we were departing. Their hospitality was deeply appreciated. If we ever return to Florence, I would be thrilled if we could stay in this apartment again.

lovely apartment, great location

We really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms have high ceilings and are graciously decorated. The cupboard kitchen is surprisingly effective, and cooking is very possible if you don't want to eat the fantastic food everywhere. We did make our breakfasts every morning before setting forth to drink in the beauties of Florence. The bathroom works well, and there's a washer and a place to hang clothes to dry. The bed is quite comfortable. We walked as far as Piazzale Michelangelo and as close as Palazzo Davanzati--you can go all over Florence from here. Miki and Marco were delightful to work with, and made us very welcome.

A gem!

This is a great place for home base to explore Matera. It is easy walking distance of the Sassi and the center of the new town. The apartment is spacious and great for one or two couples. The terrace is special. We enjoyed cocktails and lunch on the terrace. The apartment seems to be recently renovated with all the conveniences required for staying a while and exploring Matera. We recommend the apartment and Matera.
