Florence Vacation Rental apartment

We stayed in this apartment for 6 nights on the start of our honeymoon. It is a great location and easy to walk to the sights in Florence, but not too close that you are surrounded by tons of tourists. It's also very close to the train/bus stations which were great for day trips to Rome, Siena and Venice.

There is a book there with great recommendations for restaurants/activities. I'm so glad we decided to stay here instead of a hotel--so much better.

We didn't actually cook in the apt, but the kitchen was fully stocked, and that did come in handy when we borrowed some wine glasses, dish towels and the cork screw to take on a picnic or two. We did use the washing machine and shower with no problem.

The best part: it's right next door (I guess it's technically on top) of an awesome pasticerria/bakery. The price is right, the location is great, I only wish we could come back every year.

We love Florence and this charming centrally located apartment is perfect for your every need. It is spacious and has a lovely atmosphere with the high ceilings and chandeliers - the beds are extremely comfortable and the shower excellent. It is clean and well appointed and we will definitely recommend it to friends/family. The kitchen has all you need to cook a delicious dinner (bought locally or at the market) if you do not feel like going out. It is very convenient for the train and bus stations, just a few minutes walk, should you wish to go further afield to Sienna, Lucca, Venice etc. There is an excellent and friendly restaurant opposite, very good delis too and all the main sights are in easy walking distance. This was our fourth visit to Florence and we cannot wait to return and stay at this perfect oasis again. The airconditioning/heating was a big bonus, although we thoroughly enjoyed having the shutters open and soaking up the 'street sounds' of Florence. The booking and takeover/handover were easy and well organised; so all in all it made for a perfect place to stay in a beautiful city.

This apartment is perfect for a great break in Florence. The description on the website is accurate but, perhaps, does not convey how very well laid out it is and how spacious it feels (the beautiful high beamed ceilings add to this) . It is also well equipped and comfortable and we agree with other reviewers that the towels and linens are of good quality (not always the case in rented properties).

The location is fantastic: easy walking access to all the sights and the bus/train stations. The Arno is a couple of minutes away and an evening stroll across one of the bridges to the Oltrarno district with its stylish bars and superb restaurants is a must. Having said that, the street outside your front door has everything you could wish for - two excellent restaurants, bakeries, a deli, car rental and a bustling Florentine atmosphere. One reviewer has mentioned noise; of course there will always be some street sounds in a busy city but we did not find it intrusive nor did it interrupt our sleep, in fact the street scene added to the charm and interest of staying in this home from home.

Finally, the communication and directions provided by the owner and his representative in Florence were excellent, making rental a very straighforward process. We will be recommending the apartment to any of our acquaintance visiting Florence.
