The apartment is located in a restricted traffic zone (ZTL). As per the regulations, the air conditioning temperature values can be set between 19°C (with a tolerance of 2°C) and a maximum of 21°C.

Welcome! To make your stay pleasant for you and for those who arrive later, we ask you to read this little practical information. By booking the apartment, you accept the following.
Check-in and check-out
Check-in: from 14:00 to 20:00, by appointment. We ask you to let us know your arrival time in advance, so as to better coordinate us. Check-out: by 10:00 a.m. Check-in after 20:00: possible subject to the availability of our staff, with a supplement: 50€ until 22:00 · 80€ from 22:00 to midnight · 100€ from midnight to 02:00. Check-in after 02:00 is not possible.
Guest registration (legal requirement)
Italian law (art. 109 TULPS — R.D. 773/1931) requires us to communicate the identity of all guests to the public security authority. Upon check-in, we will then ask you for a valid identity document for each guest (for foreign guests, a passport). Without this data, we cannot deliver the accommodation to you. This is a requirement for all accommodation facilities in Italy: we record data only for the purpose of public security control.
Tourist tax
The City of Florence applies a tourist tax of 6.00€ per person per night, for a maximum of 7 consecutive nights. Minors up to 12 years old are exempt. (To be paid at check-in/already collected from the platform — adapt according to the booking channel.)
What is included in the rate
Air conditioning, heating, electricity, water, bed linen and towels, use of the washing machine.
Pets allowed
Coexistence and neighborhood
The apartment is located in a residential building, so:
No parties or events are allowed. We ask you to respect the silence after 23:00 and avoid slamming doors. Smoking is prohibited inside the apartment. Any additional guests other than those indicated in the booking must be agreed with us in advance.
Heating and air conditioning
Heating: as required by national legislation (D.M. 383 of 06/10/2022), for the City of Florence, the system can be turned on from November 8 to April 7, for a maximum of 11 hours a day, with a temperature adjusted between 19 °C and 21 °C (tolerance included). Air conditioning: to reduce consumption and respect the environment, we ask you to use the air conditioner responsibly, maintaining a temperature of 19—21 °C and turning it off when you leave.
wrenches
Keep your keys carefully. In case of loss or failure to return, for security reasons it will be necessary to replace the lock, with a charge of 50.00€.
Overtime interventions
For urgent interventions made necessary by improper use by the guest and requested outside office hours (22:00 — 08:00), a fee of 100.00€ will be applied.
Danni
If anything breaks or stops working, let us know: we'll check it out. No problem with minor inconveniences — we only ask for transparency.
Parking and ZTL
The apartment is located in the Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL), reserved for residents: it is not possible to park freely on the street without incurring a fine. There are two options: a paid private garage in the immediate vicinity (convenient but more expensive), or a car park outside the center (cheaper), from which to reach the apartment by public transport. If you arrive by car, contact us first: we will show you the best solution.
Thanks for your cooperation. We are always available during your stay for any need - do not hesitate to write to us.

Beautiful apartment in center

Very comfortable and clean apartment Maybe a bit too old fashioned in some details but absolutely worth its price Close to most popular destinations, 10 min walk from Santa Maria Novella and a little more from Palazzo vecchio. Mercato centrale is near and you can enjoy fantastic street food there Recommended

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I stayed here for about 17 days. Twice a staff member or employee let themselves into the room without our knowledge and both times myself or someone else was sleeping. I had to ask for towels, toilet paper, and sheets, and was told that the toilet paper we were provided was all that we were allowed to get from them which was never told to us until we had already been there for 10 days. The area itself was old and somewhat charming but during winter it was too cold in the 2nd room. I wouldn’t stay here again especially for anything more than a day or 2. The staff is responsive but they also just come in whenever they please.

Spacious apartment not far from the city center

This is a very very large apartment with plenty of room for multiple guests. There were 3 of us so the place felt huge with so few people! The host was very nice and helpful with check in and information about the apartment. He warned us of a couple of issues (specifically about the power going on), which one could expect in an old building. There are AC floor units in each bedroom, which work very well, but the one in the smaller bedroom unfortunately leaked on the floor. It would be in the host's best interest to fix this ASAP. The floors are also rather dirty if you walk around barefoot. Overall, these are minor complaints and we really enjoyed our stay!

Well, in a pinch I selected this spot, failing to read all the way at the bottom of the listing that there is a late check in fee. Pissed off I couldn't cancel the second I got the ,your gonna have to pay 80-100 euros just for late check in message vrbo was no helpThen a nice gentleman checked us in we had to sign some contract and pay tourism tax...But having an in person fancy check in still didn't mention there is a special way to jiggle the lock on the front door to get it to open, or that the is a light switch to illuminate the long dark stairwell. I saw someone else use it 2 days into my stay. Host was responsive and did help with the key issue promptly but still.....Roomy place, convenient location and clean. Still 80-100 bucks for late check in is a little absurd. Had I known I would never have selected this place..... But location location.
