This apartment is centrally located and you have access to all the highlights of Florence. Communication with the host was excellent. The views from the apartment windows were breathtaking as well. Tram from the airport stops right in front of the front door making for easy transportation to and from. We had a couple of issues with the washing machine and toilet but the host did his best to fix them. What to keep in mind: there are over 90 steps to the fifth floor. It was not a problem for us however they are no joke as there is no elevator. The second bedroom shares a closet with the water heater and every time water is turned on it generates noise. We adapted for those that stayed in that room. In conclusion, the apartment suited our needs exceedingly and we had a wonderful time.

Tiberio is a wonderful host to work with. The apartment is incredibly well located (take train right from airport to the piazza) and central to shopping, eating, museums, etc. There are a bunch of steps to get up to the unity, but it’s really NOT a problem- (1) walk off your pasta and (2) beautiful view from the patio. We recommend without hesitation.

Our stay in Florence was great! Our host was very friendly and communicative. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The only draw back was the 5th floor and 96 steps with no elevator. This was clearly stated in the description and I just missed it. Lugging our suitcases up was difficult. The view was great!

The hosts were so very warm and welcoming! They were in constant contact and made check in seamless! I’ve been to Florence before and I found this LOCATION IDEAL! I arrived by train and could walk from the train station to the apartment…..easy to find…Had to laugh as I quickly realized the T2 Tram originates practically outside the doorway! That tram made it simple for day-tripping to many great destinations outside of Florence!!! Also…an easy walk around the corner to Galleria Academia, and the main duomo area just a 10 minute walk. LOCATION IDEAL! The apartment itself is very well equipped…I cooked often and had all i needed! The view from the front looks to the hills is Fiesole, and made for the perfect end of the day cocktail spot! And the view of the Duomo is stunning as you lay your head down at the end of a fantastic day! Also the shower has nice water pressure!!! My stay was about 30-days and the hosts checked in by message from time to time to make sure everything was good! I would definitely recommend…and would stay here every trip to Florence!!! Ciao!!

The property is in a great location in the city! A short walk to most attractions and the T2 tram is just outside the front door. It’s a cheerful apartment with a lot of natural light. It was very clean and comfortable. You’ll love the views from the windows. Helpful hint-Pack lightly for climbing the many stairs.

The property in general fit the description of the listing. However, there were some things that fell short of our expectations. Certain parts of the property are in need of some simple repairs/maintenance (e.g. The shower head would not stay in a position that allowed one to comfortably shower). The city views from the property are wonderful and they ease the pain of the climb to the fifth-plus floor flat. The location allows for easy walks to all the major attractions of Firenze as well as access to multiple forms of public transportation for those more distant locations. Not the best property we have stayed at thus our ratings.

While the stairs up to the apartment made us laugh each day the view and quietness once in the apartment made it all worth it. Youssef met us to check us in which they accommodated a later check in for us and we ended up being a bit early the hosts were gracious to work around our schedule. Youssef was funny and gave us some background information. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The balcony made everything worth it though in the evening to settle in and have a glass of wine overlooking the world below. Thank you so much for sharing your space.

We stayed here for one month for some art courses in Florence. Apartment is as advertised, the views and balcony are the best part. Be prepared to climb a lot of steps to the top of the building. Also, a short walk away are the Academia and All’Antico Vinaio (Best Sandwiches ever). The hosts, Tiberio and Letizia, are very gracious and quick to respond to questions and concerns.

Great spot on San Marco Square
This apartment was perfect for 2 couples. It’s easy to access the apartment from the T2 line as the stop is in front of the apartment door. The location is next door to the museum that houses The David. It’s a few blocks from the Duomo and you can easily walk to Ponte Vecchio. The apartment is on the 5th floor with no lift, so make sure to take that into consideration. Tiberio and Leticia were excellent hosts and it was easy to communicate with them. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Fantastic location for the Duomo and lots of restaurants & shops. Lovely view of the San Marco Square and very peaceful at night. Tram 2 stops right by the apartment so making the trip from the station very easy. Apartment was well equipped and had a view of the duomo. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. There are a lot of steps which were a challenge, especially with luggage, but that’s the trade off for a great rooftop apartment.
