The host was very communicative. The apartment was lovely with plenty of natural light with windows. Charming with plenty of space for 1 and would be great for 2 people. Nice area and I felt safe staying there by myself with deadbolts. My only minor complaints were that the air conditioning was on that the room was very cold. But that was a quick fix by turning the AC off. And the overhead fan in the bathroom was extremely loud if you accidentally turned it on with all the switches. After 2 minutes, it was off, though. Again, extremely minor complaints.

Had a great time at this property. Centrally located and close to everything. There is a bit of noise in the mornings, but nothing that bothered us too much. Would definitely stay again.

ngl, was pretty rough, no sound isolation, there was construction outside in the early morning, maybe we just got unlucky. People were nice.
The Istay team is wonderful! Made me feel so welcome. Apartment is in a great area, quieter and right near the Arno. Walkable to EVERYTHING. 10/10 would stay again. They even put mobile AC units in the apartment to cope with the heatwave— so appreciated

Perfect location just off Santa Spiriti Plaza, at foot of the Ponte. The apt had comfy seating, roomy bedroom, decent bath. It is up 3 floors but that keeps it quiet from street noise. Could use a better mattress but other very much enjoyed our stay
Great and clean 1-bedroom apartment in the heart of Florence. Communication with the host was effortless and quick. The location is tucked away behind a few alleys, but it’s quick to get to/from the main streets. It’s in a neighborhood with many high-end designer stores as well as local cafes. The apartment itself was clean and well maintained, though it lacked a few supplies like toilet paper and paper towels. However, the host provided a bottle of water and Prosecco to welcome us. Another inconvenience is that the building has no elevator and it’s located on the third floor, but this is only an issue if carrying heavy luggage. Also worth noting that the staircase has no lighting, so a flashlight is needed at night.
Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay and I would return.
