Florian Apartment

Review Submitted: November 13, 2007 Date of Stay: April 2007
Wonderful location with in walking distance to all classic Florentine venues. Quiet building with easy access to buses to anywhere. Many breakfast outlets and restaurants closeby. The Duomo bells are silent at night. Nightlife at outdoor cafe on next block goes until late, ear plugs a good option if light sleeper. Remember that ground is floor 1! So a 4th floor walk up is really the fifth floor. Stairs are easy, well lit. Worth the climb! Friendly and helpful owner who speaks English. We will stay here again.
Owner's Response: Dears,
thank you for your comment. I try to do my best.
I hope to meet you again in Florence next future.
Ciao
Luca

My wife & I stayed for three weeks in March, 2008. The
apartment was perfect for us. Luca, the owner even
purchased Siena/Fiorentino football tickets for us and
our son, who visited for a week. Great location.
Thanks, Luca

My family stayed in this apartment for 4 nights and we really enjoyed the accomodations. The apartment is very nicely decorated, clean and very comfortable. The view is spectacular. The apartment is in the center of Florence so it is convenient to all areas in the city. Luca is very nice and helpful. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Florence.

My friend and I stayed in this chic little apartment for one week. We booked through vrbo, and the emails I received from Luca were so friendly that I felt comfortable booking this apartment. Luca met us at the apartment, and was a charming and hospitable as his emails.
The apartment is all brand new, clean and creatively and fashionably decorated. I liked the faux-suede couch - very Italian! Even though it was small, it had the feeling of spaciousness as it is spread out, and there are four steps up to the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom fully equipped. The posted photos are exactly what the apartment looks like, athough the proximity of the Duomo church is even more unbelievable when you are there. The apartment is in an ancient Palazzo, and we enjoyed going through the huge door directly off the famous Duomo square. It was noisy, but the double glazed windows helped. Note: there are mosquitos.
Others have mentioned the 87 steps (we counted them too!), so of course this apartment is not good for people with mobility problems, but great for burning off all the pasta we ate!

We had reserved this apt for a week this past summer and my husband tore his ACL and we couldn't go. Luca was SO nice and said that he would be happy to put out down payment toward a future visit. I HOPE we can visit soon but if not, he was SUPER gracious and understanding. Thanks and we HOPE to meet him and stay at his place soon!!!
Owner's Response: Dear Kathleen,

thank you and I'm waiting you in Florence next year.

Review Submitted: June 26, 2007 Date of Stay: June 2007
My niece and I spent a full week in this apartment and had a wonderful time. Luca, the owner, was gracious, friendly and available if/when we needed him. The place is spotlessly clean, bright, airy and beautifully located. You'll need to haul your luggage up 87 steps but it's great exercise and completely worth the effort. The Piazza del Duomo can stay noisy with partying young people and celebrating soccer fans into the early morning hours but I would stay there again without a second thought. This is money well-spent.

The Florian apartment is lovely and is in an excellent central location. The apartment is nicely outfitted with modern appliances/amenities (small flat panel satellite TV, good air conditioning, dishwasher, modern kitchen and bathroom) while the old-world architectural charm of the apartment is intact. We found this apartment to be very comfortable. Highly recommended!
Owner's Response: Thanks Benjamin for your positive comment.
