Fantastic flat in Santa Croce neighborhood
The flat was comfortable, cozy and convenient. There were so many homey touches that were so helpful when we first got there. Basic cooking supplies, lovely basket of toiletries in the bathroom in case we left something at home. We loved the little rooftop terrace too. We stayed for over a week and it was really comfortable. Julia was helpful and responded really quickly to any and all questions we had.

Nice stay
The flat had everything we needed for a short stay in Florence. It is about a 20 minute walk from the train station.
Not fancy, but reasonably comfortable. The curtains in the bedroom are very sheer!
We had a wonderful stay at this property! We were only here for two nights, but this apartment would be perfect even for a longer stay. We were able to do laundry, had access to a full kitchen, functional air conditioning was a definite bonus, and a beautiful balcony view to top it all off. The apartment was within walking distance of lots of touristy stuff and if you prefer not to walk there was also a bus station just down the road. We will definitely be keeping this property in mind for future trips!
Beautiful apartment near the river in Florence, close to public transport and so many restaurants. Walkable to many attractions including Ponte Vecchio, Uffizi, Duomo. Clean and roomy and Elena communicates well and quickly - highly recommend!!

Florence apt
Apartment is in a great location, close to everything. The nice thing is that it is on quiet street, so no noise at night. Only improvement would be a shade or thicker curtains in the bedroom. Sun comes through early in the morning. Loved the little rooftop table and chairs

Great place!
This property served us very well in Florence. It's a great location, close to everything and had all the necessary amenities required for a great stay.
We were greeted by the owner's brother in law. His English wasn't great and he seemed a little rushed. It would be nice to have a little more info in the welcome package regarding use of the appliances, particularly the washer/dryer.
Lena, the owner, was very quick to respond to every email question, which was very helpful.

The photos of this apartment do not do it justice. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
The apartment is gorgeous and wonderfully decorated. It is in a great location for exploring all that Florence has to offer. My only regret was not visiting Michelangelo’s childhood home, which is right there in the Santa Croce neighborhood. Elena and Giovanni were warm and welcoming.

What a wonderful place to stay in Florence! Quiet street very near center of town. The host was so welcoming, even returned back to the apartment to bring us a plug adapter after we discovered we misplaced ours. Beautifully done apartment.

An amazing apartment in a beautiful area of Florence!
I couldn't have been happier with my choice of accommodations! The apartment is even more spacious than it appears in the photos and the owners have thought of everything to make their guests comfortably situated. Since I was a single woman staying on my own, I loved the security and safety of the neighborhood. The proximity to Santa Croce was a mere 5 minutes and there are many good restaurants and shops close by. It was quite warm during my stay, so I was very glad to make use the air-conditioning. There is a delightful little private rooftop piazza just for the apartment, and I made good use of it in the evenings. I also appreciated the good water pressure in the shower, kitchen amenities (including a dishwasher) and the crisp, ironed cotton sheets on the very comfortable bed were a treat! I would definitely return in the future!!

Fantastic Customer Service
Giovanni and Elena were great. The apartment is on the third floor but easily accessible. Every need we had was addressed without any issues at all. We needed a taxi several times and Elena arranged those for us without any complaint. The apartment is fairly close to the center of the city but plan to bring walking shoes. What a wonderful visit!

Great property in idea location
The flat was in a central but quiet street in the historic centre. Very near to great bars and restaurants and historic sights. It had all mod cons, but still retained authentic italian feel. The flat was cool even though it was hot and we didn't really need to use the air con. Florence is buzzing and has much more nightlife than other Italian towns. As well as great architecture, culture etc it is also a very pretty city with lovely gardens to visit. The owner was helpful when we arrived so nothing bad to report at all!

Lovely Apartment
This is a lovely apartment, with all the necessities. Kitchen and bathroom have been beautifully renovated (largest bathroom we saw in Italy), and the location is very good. I loved being able to look out the window and see people on their balconies and hanging out their laundry! The wisteria was in bloom, and we could smell the fragrance. We took wine and snacks up to the terrace in the evening, I was so glad the weather was warm enough to do this! We ate at La Carceri, and had a lovely meal.
My only warning is to be aware of the two steep flights of stairs that you will have to carry your luggage up!

We loved this flat - on a quiet street easily walkable into the center of Florence. Very comfortable bed, modern beautiful bathroom, unique loft area and little terrace to catch the sun with a glass of prosecco :) basics for cooking provided and a very nice owner who helped with directions to various places as well as booking taxi to airport for us at the end of our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely apartment and so convenient for the main sights - and yet not surrounded by tourists.
We had a wonderful five nights in this apartment. We felt very much at home and even the stairs to its entrance for us in our late 60's were no problem. We loved the staircase to the balcony for evening drinks and to dry our laundry. The recommended restaurant round the corner was great and all Giovanni's information was so helpful even though this was not our first time in Florence.

Never stay anywhere else while in Florence!
We have stayed at this apartment 3 times in the last 10 years and it is always perfect. Great location, fabulous amenities, lots of space, and the owners are great - responsive and helpful!
We have traveled with one (and now 2) kids, so having the separate bedroom was crucial and the laundry being right there in the apartment was also very helpful. No matter how old they get, we will always stay here when we are in Florence.
