Central, Modern and Efficient

Property is moments from the Duomo, central and walk able to all our our activities. Expect busy streets at most hours of the day and noise especially on weekends. Apartment is accurately described with a private bedroom, small kitchen and living room with convertible sofa bed. it was great for our family of 3. Apartment was clean,building was safe and had small elevator which was great for luggage. Property manager was easy to work with and prompt. We loved our stay for three nights!

The only good thing was the location…

This apartment was not at all as listed. The location was good; just a few steps from the Duomo. Other than that, I can’t recommend it. When we arrived, the entire apartment had a foul odor, much like sewage. I contacted the host, who sent someone the next day to address the problem. Still it’s disconcerting that the smell was there in the first place. The apartment is on the 3rd floor, and the elevator barely accommodates 2 people. One morning, it didn’t work at all. The washer/dryer took forever (hours) to dry clothes. The apartment had no natural light, and the electric lighting was insufficient. Sheets and towels seemed to have been used for years. All in all, I would have left after the first night but there was not a hotel room to be had in any decent Florence hotel.

Fantastic location right in city centre. Could be a bit noisy at night times, but to be expected being right in the city and with the windows closed, it wasn’t too bad. Easily walkable to main Florence attractions with a 6 and 7 year old. Room met all our needs and the washer/dryer was great to refresh the clothes!!

Very small, excellently located, safe apartment with inadequate kitchen

Spent six nights in well located, very small, secure 4th floor apt. Met as planned; easy checkin and checkout. Useful guide in apt. Excellent location within easy walking distance to everything, restaurants, sites, train station, etc. Tiny elevator, washing machine, good wifi, hot water, fluffy towels, large BR closet, many hangers, iron & board. Comfortable bed. Can be noisy at night. BYO earplugs, DW and laundry pellets, soap, etc. Misleading pictures make apt seem much larger than it is. Not for more than 2 people. Very small kitchen adequate for light breakfasts or snacks and completely inadequate for serious cooking. Poorly equipped and barely lit. (No scissors, peelers, paring knives, tongs; only 2 large plates, 3 small coffee spoons, lights not working, no tops for fry pans, etc.) Terrific location and other amenities make this a very good choice for two people who don't need or expect a well equipped kitchen.

Perfect little home to stay in

The owner was communicative throughout. The home was clean and well maintained. The bed was comfortable. Our only complaint was sleeping arrangements were downstairs and the only bathroom was upstairs. Also the bathroom was very cold and drafty. But the place was perfect for our getaway and comfortable and felt safe. the location was good. No issues finding street parking. The location was close to main “must do” activities such as the Arch, Bush Stadium, and Amheisur-Bush. Recommend you get a meal at Tucker’s steakhouse which is only blocks away from the home too!

Great location, excellent communication

This was a great little flat right in the heart of everything. Dimitri was super responsive and accommodating. The pictures do make it look a little bigger than it is, and I wish that VRBO would not allow a one-bedroom + pull out couch to be advertised as two bedroom as I missed that. But that’s on me. We had some small issue with odour on the first day and it was dealt with immediately. Overall it was a great little (and spotless) home base. Does get noisy as the neighbourhood is hopping, but you can’t beat the location.

Great Hosts and Apartment

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We are a couple in mid'60's and early 70's. The elevator is a 2 person one, but it worked well. Ambra, her son, her daughter, Serena and neighbor Tina helped us immensely in getting our late arriving luggage safely into the Apartment while we were out. A million thank you's to them all! The street noise may bother some if you don't have ear plugs but it dissipates after about 1 a.m. That said, the apt. is in the heart of everything. Thank you so much for a fine introduction to Italy!

Clean as a whistle, some cross cultural barriers

One tip; when you get to the building there is no button for Design Apartments or for Ambra; it’s the 4th floor so my guess is you hit the fourth button. Also, it’s a lot of stairs, so with your bags, you’ll want to use the elevator. The check in process was great; the woman who met us who said she was Ambra’s daughter, I believe, was very helpful and explained the home and neighborhood very well. The apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortable. The air conditioning worked great. We had a little trouble with the combo washer and dryer unit. I could not get my clothes to dry on any setting, and even after meticulously reading the manual, it still wasn’t working. I texted the woman I checked in with, who told me to read the manual. Later an older woman came over and tried to help but she spoke no English. In the end, we hung our clothes up Italian style and let them air dry- it was fine. If you’re planning to wash clothing, maybe have someone show you how!
