Feeling At Home In Florence

Our stay at Miki and Franco’s Michaela Apartment through Italy Perfect was so welcoming and comfortable from check in to checkout. The apartment is so lovely, the neighborhood is fantastic and the hosts treated us like old friends. We had stayed in four other VRBOs during our month traveling through Italy but without question this was the winner!!!

Spacious, clean, fabulous location-best part was how gracious our hosts, Mikiki and Franco were!

Mikki and Franco met us at the apartment on our arrival and we there for checkout. They spent 40 minutes with us at check in; Franco had prepared a hand markup of a Florence map with the apartment and other locations marked and was great about telling how far the walk was to each. Best of all, they recommended 4 separate restaurants and we hit each; wow!! Highly recommend this fabulous spot! Feel free to reach out to us for a convo, as the written word really does not do this couple and location justice.

Disliked: Check-in

Check in process lengthy & they charged for utilities!

I can’t imagine anyone having to go through the one hour check in process after a long flight. I came from Lucca but still didn’t enjoy it. Checkout was expected as well, mostly so the owners can collect the additional utility fees (in cash) for the gas, water and electricity which i do not recall reading when booking. The owner had walked me over to the meter at check in as well as check out which I thought was very tacky. Also the listing says it has carbon monoxide alarm which it doesn’t.

Fantastic

Perfect location and great apartment, but what makes it even more spectacular are the hosts. We stayed in the apartment from Dec 28 until Jan 1. Florence was filled with tourists and new year's eve partyers. Our hosts, Miki and Franco, tried to unsuccessfully reserve a cab the night before for our early 1/1 airport departure due to all of the partyers still filling the streets. Instead - they suggested we get up early and call. Time was winding down, it was 5 am and we were desperate to get ot the airport. As a last resort, we called Franco. Without a fuss he picked us up and drove us to the airport. Both Miki and Franco took excellent care of us and made us feel very welcome. I highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Florence.

Great Location and Comfortable Living

We were very pleased with this apartment located just a few minutes from the Duomo and within easy walking distance of sites on both sides of the Arno River. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The hosts were quite gracious and friendly. What we appreciated most was being about to come back in the afternoon to rest up after our morning's experiences, skip the heat of the afternoon, as well as the crowds, and then head out again in the evening. The bakery and coffee shop, as well as the Pam grocery, all within a block, were also appreciated.

The apartment, Michaela, that we rented in Florence was in the perfect location. It was within walking distance of almost anything you would want to see, and there was a wonderful bakery, a great deli and some wonderful restaurants all within a block or two. The owners of the apartment were charming and helpful. Staying at this apartment was part of what made the entire Florence part of our vacation a favorite.

Perfect location and wonderful hosts

We were very pleased with our stay in this apartment. The apartment is within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do, and we were able to walk to the train station on arrival and departure (10 minutes). Because the apartment is very quiet, facing a courtyard and not the street, it was always a surprise to open the front door of this beautiful building and step out into the bustling center of Florence. The area around the apartment is packed with restaurants and there is a very small food shop (for yogurt, milk and the like). Larger grocery stores are farther away, but still within walking distance. The second full bathroom was a plus, as well. Finally, our hosts were charming. They gave us a thorough orientation to the apartment and the neighborhood when they handed over the keys. We did sneak a peak at the Prisco apartment, which used to be the main living area of this family's flat, and it is stunning, with high ceilings and beautiful details and a full kitchen. However, we preferred the quieter placement of Michaela at the end of the hall. One thing to note is that this is a spacious, comfortable apartment, but it is not a luxury hotel. Towels are line dried, which means a bit scratchy, and sheets aren't changed daily. But, this is what we were expecting and it suited us just fine.
