It was an amazing 5 days in Florence. The apartment was spanking clean, big and spacious as the photos show. Yes, it is definitely in a noisy part of town, but if you have earplugs that will help a bit (or lots of wine!) The apartment is in the middle of it all, a sweet little market just outside our door. Everything you need is close by. Diana has a beautifully curated Welcome book + map of the city of Florence with all the information/tips a visitor could want. We will definitely return. Thank you!

This place is absolutely adorable! The view from the terrace is so stunning I cried a bit the first time I took it all in! The bed was ridiculously comfy, the decor was beautiful, and it was in a great location (we walked everywhere easily- 5-10 minute walk to a major shopping district, 15-20 minute walk to the Florence Cathedral, 20-25 minutes to the train station). It’s definitely small overall, but was definitely doable for the 3 days we were there. The bathroom was very narrow and has a shorter angled ceiling so it causes some...creativity for taller people (my husband is 6 foot tall and just had to be careful about not bumping his head or knees) but we found we had that issue just about anywhere in Italy we stayed. We had everything we needed and made a few meals there without problem. We were also arriving late at night and they arranged a self check in which went perfectly and was easy to do. I absolutely recommend staying here anytime you’re in Florence and we would be glad to stay again if we come back!!!

Great location, quiet and with plenty of restaurants close by. Very clean and comfortable. Great check in. We were met by Diana who very kindly helped us with our luggage up the 5 flights of stairs. She provided us with a fantastic map marked with the main attractions, restaurants and lots of other helpful information. We had one night, quite late, the hot water went out and I messaged Diana not expecting to get a response till the morning but she was very quick to respond and helped us rectify the situation, which was very much appreciated. Enjoyable stay in Florence. Thank you

Amazing place. Right next to the beautiful Santa Croce church. Super quiet and super stylish. Suited us perfectly. Diana had a phone she loans to guests with google maps and calls included. Helped us so much renavigating the city. She has also created her own map of the city, with eating spots and must sees, that she gives to everyone on arrival! We tried a few of her recommendations and her taste was excellent. She also helped us with various needs we had in our stay there and all in all helped make being in Florence super easy to navigate. Highly recommend

Great location in the heart of Florence, only minutes away from the Duomo and easy walking distance to everything. Well appointed kitchen and living areas. Open the windows and listen to the buskers next to Basilica di San Lorenzo. Appreciated the briefing from our host with tips for enjoying the city. Really handy to the Mercato Centrale Firenze (Florence Central Market). Skip the stalls outside and go for the food - watch pasta being cooked downstairs and great food from the food court upstairs. · Steps. I know it's an old building, and the view really was worth the climb, but you need to be prepared to drag your suitcases up 87 steps. Just be aware...

This is a great and spacious apartment especially if you take the place requiring more than 2 bedrooms. The bedrooms are large for an apartment located in an older structure the baths are not cramped but , as usually the showers are a challenge to bigger people. This is not a place for large meal prepping the kitchen is tiny compared to the rest of the place. It does not have a microwave which I would strongly recommend adding.The location is just perfect just minutes from Duomo, The Academia the Central Market Do go to Narbone for a beef sandwich and just around the corner from Jimmy's Leather my personal favorite store. All in all you can't go wrong staying here.

This is a great apartment in Florence. Location is close to everything. We walked to everything. We came in/out by train. it is only 500 meters from the Florence SMN station. It is very clean and comfortable. We had 4 adult couples. Each had their own room with bath. The property i was clean and well maintained. It was the end of September and it had cooled off so we really enjoyed the courtyard. Diana was friendly and eager to assist us. Overall , a great stay in Florence. We would definitely use it again

Everything about Baobab was perfect — the stylish decor of the apartment, the amazing location a 2 minute walk from the Uffizi and the Palazzo Vecchio, as well as tons of great little bars and restaurants right in the heart of the city. The house was spotlessly clean, well stocked and the team were so incredibly helpful throughout the entire booking process and welcomed us so warmly that we felt instantly at home.

The house was perfect! Great location, it was clean, organized with all amenities. It was a one minute walk to a square with restaurants yet was quiet. Diana was awesome, she organized taxis, answered all my questions and came to say goodbye. I would stay here any day!!! Thank you so much!!!

Amazing location and very responsive and accessible management. Diana is terrific. The gift of a mobile device for the length of stay is incredibly helpful , especially the digital walking/driving map and local/international calling... easy and free!!!

Diana’s house was wonderful. It was not too far from the station and not in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Easy to find and close to everything. Would definitely recommend

A Fantastic apartment situated less than a block off the Piazza dei Signori. Super comfortable will all the amenities you might need - extremely communicative hosts and just a generally great experience. Keep in mind that you're smack dab in the middle of the city, so bring along those earplugs for sleeping. Will definitely return!

I just love this apartment!! Location is great...and the view is AMAZING! The bed , pillows and towels are top notch! I can find no fault in this lovely apartment. That being said it is not for tall people or people that find stairs hard. There are a lot and walk up the street is difficult. But I love it!! Thanks to Diana! a great host!
