Located just far enough away from the bustle of the tourist spots to be peaceful but close enough to be very walkable to the Duomo, Santa Croce, Accademia, San Marco, and especially Sant'Ambrogio for the outdoor market. We stayed for a month and walked everywhere in the city. The apartment itself is beautiful, with lots of light and old world charm. This feels like a former (or current) private home that was left untouched and provided as a rental. Three tall stories require a walk up stone steps (no elevator) but the views across the rooftops and into the courtyard are lovely. Staying here helps you feel immersed in the city rather than being a tourist. Nice features include custom stone floor in the main area, full kitchen, beautiful cabinets and a wardrobe in the upstairs loft. Small balcony is better for hanging laundry than having breakfast. The main drawback is that some of the furnishings are a bit lived-in and could use replacing soon. Overall this was not problematic during our stay, it just felt like housesitting for a grandmother and using her old-school gas oven, iron and ironing board, cookware, dishes, and cabinets. The property management staff were friendly, very attentive and helpful. The experience was more like being a tenant than staying at a hotel. For example, we had to schedule and wait for several days for service when our router and television needed replacing due to a lightning strike. Understandable, just expect this rather than instantaneous gratification. The folder with information about the neighborhood was very informative, and we visited Sant'Ambrogio Market several times per week for excellent produce. If you want to feel like you truly live in the city, this is a good option for a longer stay in beautiful Firenze.

The property was located right in the center of the city, so it was convinent to get to all major attractions. At check in we were pretty provided with a local map and a booklet or place Sto eat and information.

Diana was a wonderful host. She arranged for pick up from the airport and promptly communicated. For able-bodied people, her apartment is very near to interesting sites at the city center. I especially appreciated how close it was to vegan establishments as it is difficult to find vegan food when traveling internationally all the time. The apartment was clean and felt safe.

Super! Das Viertel ist sehr lebendig und voll schöner Ecken. Das rummelige Zentrum ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Im Bad könnte es ein paar Haken für Handtücher geben.

We loved the apartment! It was clean, comfortable, cozy and in the heart of Florence. We could not have a better location. The hosts were extraordinary! Very helpful and always quick to reply to questions. They offered good tips and were professionals through and through. Although the nightlife around the area was loud and lively, often until the early morning hours, we couldn’t complain as this is what to expect if you want to be in the middle of the city. If you want a quiet place then you may not enjoy the late night noise. However we were very satisfied!! Definitely a 5 star rating!

Quiet flat and very comfy bed. Loved the Nespresso machine. The apartment was a few mins walk from the train station. I’ve tried to add photos showing the location for anyone having trouble finding the place... hope they help! We loved the exposed brickwork inside. The manager Diane was extremely helpful with all our enquiries and with the windows closed we found the air con was adequate and considering we were so central we were not disturbed by any outdoor noise. I did have a small usb fan that I always travel with in case I got too hot however I didn’t need to use it. I would recommend anyone visiting Florence to stay here for location and comfort. I would definitely stay next time I’m in the area! Thanks Diane for a wonderful stay!

Yelena and Diana are very communicative and responsive. Plus the room is nice and cozy for Florence. Clean and accommodating. And the location is right next to many major tourist points like Vecchio and Uffizi. Would recommend. We loved it.

The location of the property was fantastic - central and an added bonus of a view. Staff and facilities great and met our expectations. Checking in was very easy and communication with the host was fantastic considering our train was late arriving. Easy to walk from the train station to the accommodation. Restaurants right at your finger tips. Noise was not an issue as mentioned in a few previous reviews. Yes there are stairs. But well worth it for the view. Please consider that this building is old so the expectation of a lift as mentioned in previous views is asking for too much.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I stayed four nights at Diana's place and I was very pleased with the overall quality and cleaness. Professional cleaning, safe and modern environment and complete set of kitchen necessaries. Location is wonderful and is surrounded by a long list of shops, restaurants and attractions.

L’appartamento ci è piaciuto tantissimo, le foto del sito sono assolutamente veritiere, pulizia perfetta e Diana è stata molto disponibile e velocissima nelle risposte, ci ha concesso il late check out e l’early check in senza alcun problema e ci ha dato tutte le opzioni possibili per poter depositare i bagagli da lei durante il nostro soggiorno. Ci torneremo sicuramente se ripasseremo per Firenze!

El apartamento está en el centro de la ciudad, a unos pasos andando de las plazas más famosas y de la estación de trenes. Es súper bonito, está muy bien decorado y equipado y es muy agradable. Está en una primera planta sin ascensor y las ventanas son de gran calidad, al cerrarlas no se escucha nada y la temperatura dentro es súper agradable. La cama es muy cómoda y todo en general estupendo. Lo recomiendo mucho. No hay llave en el apartamento, es una llave electrónica con un código con el que se abre la puerta. Esto nos daba un poco de reparo al principio pero funciona perfectamente.

Great townhome in Florence. Excellent location. We loved this place. Had everything we needed and super convenient to all the sites in Florence. Be aware there are a few stairs but other than that it was perfect

Struttura situata in una posizione strategica e centrale nel cuore di Firenze. Appartamento comodissimo e arredato in maniera impeccabile, con un terrazzo davvero stupendo sui tetti di Firenze. Torneremo sicuramente.

Perfect location and nice modern apartment. The mattress is incredible so you can recover from all the walking. This is the best AirBnB I’ve ever used.

Great location, nice decor. Street noise can be loud, but you get used to it.

房间很漂亮,但要注意不要被低门梁撞倒

Diana and her lovely team made us feel at home. Super helpful and made our stay in Firenze the icing on the cake. Her restaurant suggestion where helpful and sights to checkout. Firenze is an adventure so don’t be scared to get lost and discover new restaurants or shops. Cheers, Steph and Meg

Soggiorno perfetto! Host preciso nelle indicazioni è molto disponibile! La casa molto bella e pulita! Ottimo punto strategico per gli spostamenti a piedi nel centro!

Stylish suite! Comfy bed, easy check in.

Gorgeous and spacious apartment in such a central spot. Diana made our check in smooth and arranged for us to get our keys as soon as we arrived. The apartment is located on the 2nd floor and there are no elevators but it's an easy climb upstairs. It is extremely close to the subway and right around the corner from many restaurants, shops and a wondeful market that sells leather purses and food. The place was spotless and the kitchen was functional with everything you need. Wish we stayed here longer.
