Cool San Frediano: a perfect stay in the Oltrarno neighborhood

Wonderful apartment, with attention to detail, warm, welcoming, bright and spacious.
Two double bedrooms, a nice lounge and a perfect kitchen equipped with every comfort. Romantic terrace over the roofs of Florence, ideal for spring / summer dinners.
An absolutely gorgeous apartment in the center of the best neighborhood of Florence. The brand new design furniture and beautiful fixtures make this a wonderful, comfortable apartment to enjoy our fantastic city of Florence!

Located in the fabulous, unspoiled artisanal quarter, you can experience a true taste of Florentine life. Surrounded by great local restaurants, art studios, individual shops, vintage shops, fresh grocery stores and organic shops, daily and weekly markets.

The Holy Spirit Square is a couple of minutes stroll, one of the most beautiful squares in Italy, with pavement cafes, lively bars, and inexpensive and excellent restaurants. Here is a thriving and ecstatic community of locals, artists, expats and a friendly and happy Vibe.
The other side of the river - the North side, is far more touristy and more expensive while this unspoiled authentic neighborhood is the 'real' Florence and a truly beautiful experience (we live this side too!). A wonderful retreat in the heart of the renaissance!

A Great Apartment in a Perfect Location

Booking and check-in were simple and fast. Any questions we asked received prompt responses.The apartment is a 2nd floor walk-up with a lot of sun light. The beds were comfortable and shower had pleanty of water pressure. The kitchen was fully stocked.The neighborhood was wonderful, it is a place where Italians live with a smattering or rental units. There are plenty of nearby excellent restaurants. The place across the street is very busy and requires a reservation. The seating was family style. The food was very traditional fair.For a great dining experience I would recommend Volte, it is just up the street on the left, less than 1/2 block. You also need reservations but we were able to get in after a short wait. The steak was perfect as was the pasta and veggies. It is a bit more expensive but worth the cost.The Domo, Uffizzi, and other sites are within walking distance without being overwhelmed by the tourist crowd.If I ever go back to Florence, I would without hesitation stay here again. Valentina maintains a beautiful place. Vivian, who manages the checkin was a great source of information. As the saying goes, location, location, locationAndre

Great neighborhood close to all

We had a wonderful stay in this apartment. Great neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Florence, but short steps away from great local restaurants , bars and two blocks from a grocery store. If you don’t mind walking to the sights and bites this is a great option for a couple or small family . Ample living room area to gather and all the amenities you need to survive a longer stay in Florence . Host is great and all was as advertised . We will he happy to return when in Florence again.

Two Weeks in Florence

The apartment was perfect for my two-week stay in Florence studying Italian. It is charming (it looks just like the pictures). The location is wonderful. You feel like you are living in a Florentine neighborhood, with lots of little restaurants just steps away. The check-in was easy and friendly. I had one small question on the first day, which the owner answered immediately. I can't wait to go back!

Little oasis in Florence

If you are looking to relax and take a break from hotel stays, this is your place in Florence. The apartment is exactly as the photos portray, very spacious, comfortable and in a gem of a neighbourhood. There are excellent restaurants nearby and it is an easy and interesting walk into the centre of Florence, passing many shops, restaurants and even the Babae wine window along the way. The kitchen is well equipped and we started our day with a good cup of coffee and fresh groceries from the store just around the corner. We even did some laundry while there. Valentina and Viviana were both excellent to communicate with and we had no issues with booking, obtaining information or accessing the unit. If we are fortunate enough to return to Florence, we will definitely choose to stay here again.

Long week in Florence

My teenage son and I accompanied my college-age daughter to Florence to move her in for her study abroad. We wanted to arrive a little early and have plenty of space so we rented this apartment instead of an expensive hotel for the week. The hostess and her assistant were so responsive and so kind. Offering to help us with taxis, telling us about the neighborhood, and letting us leave our bags in the apartment until our evening flight (check out was 10am). We loved being in a ‘local’ area instead of a tourist area. Great breakfast spot, cheaper groceries, etc. I will say that it is a 20 minute walk to attractions and museums. And 5 minute walk if you want a taci. But we felt very safe and enjoyed the space. The kitchen was fully equipped. Would stay again!

Great location, just outside the tourist zone.

It was a pleasant experience with a few areas that could use improvement. The location is fantastic, with top-rated restaurants just steps away, making dining out incredibly convenient. The home itself offers plenty of space, which was perfect for our group as we never felt cramped and had ample room to relax. However, there were a few downsides. The Wi-Fi only worked reliably in the living room, which wasn’t a huge issue for us, but it might be frustrating if you’re planning to work from different parts of the house, like the kitchen table or the bedroom. Additionally, the property could benefit from a deep clean. The floors were dusty, and walking around barefoot left our feet quite dirty. The couches have covers that could use a good wash, and the throw pillows are definitely past their prime. The property is managed by a large rental company, which seems to be becoming more common. While this ensures a certain level of service, it also means the personal touches you might expect from an individual host aren’t as present. With some simple upgrades and a thorough cleaning, this place could easily earn a five-star rating. Despite these issues, the location and spaciousness make this property a solid choice, especially if you plan to spend most of your time out exploring the area. With a bit more attention to detail, it has the potential to be truly exceptional.

A quintessential Italian apartment

A lovely apartment. Check in was easy and delightful with Viviana. The location is fabulous and the architectural features of the apartment (the ceilings) are gorgeous. A slight drawback is the noise from the neighbours, but to soundproof the rooms you would lose the beauty of the ceilings etc. The bedrooms could do with some hooks on the walls for hanging clothes, but drawer space is ample. The second bedroom could use a mirror. These are all minor things, in the pursuit of an authentic Italian experience. I would happily stay here again.

The VRBO is nicely located in a good neighborhood. It doesn’t have an elevator, and there are many steps if you are lugging significant luggage. We were happy with the Unit and it was a good introduction to Florence. The Wi-Fi hook up was confusing because when you are prompted to insert the password, it isn’t the numbers which are immediately next to the password designation on the information sheet, and it took quite some discussion with the property manager before she Showed us They were looking for the number directly below what was listed as the password on the information sheet. ultimately we got it sorted out, but it took Quite some to do so.
