Apartment/ flat - Firenze

Expedia describes this property as close to the Ponte Vecchio. It is not. it's a 25 minute walk to get anywhere you might want to go. The host claims to speak English but does not. The apartment has nice outdoor space but that is the only comfortable area. Bed and pillows are old and need replacing. Bathroom is so narrow you have to walk sideways to get to the toilet or shower. Disappointing that previous reviewers were not honest about the property.

Not an independent appartmebt as advertised! Just a couple of rooms in the hosts house! Very disappointing !!The main door from the street had a faulty lock and couldn't get in!Generally unkept and lack of maintenance!Not worthy of being let!!!

It was delightful. Antonia is very nice. Only trouble we had was communication. We do not speak Italian. We tried an app, but it did not work very well. It did not affect our stay much, because we eventually figured out what we needed to, and everything we needed was there. I highly recommend for a stay in Florence.

We are students traveling and it was a great and safe apartment. Antonina was wonderful and like a nonna. I would definetly stay again.

A charming apartment in an older home with historic touches like the fresco painting on the bedroom ceiling and some antique furniture; the thick stone building is cool in summer and (presumably) cozy in winter. You will get to know the host Antonina and her warm hospitality as well; she has been a fixture in the neighborhood for decades. The apartment is generally quiet both on the street side and the garden/courtyard side, even by day and even more during the night. If you want to stay a little away from the bustle in the center of Florence but still be within easy reach, and in a neighborhood with some tasty food catering to Florentines, this is a lovely spot.

Antonina is an amazing host! She greeted us at the door and was very helpful with all questions. The room and suite is extremely clean, comfortable, and keeps with the old charm of historic Florence. It’s walking distance from everything you want to go and see, while being just far enough away to give you a quiet nights rest. There are lots of delicious cafes and restaurants within blocks of the rental. Overall amazing stay!

Traditional rooms were clean and comfortable. Host was friendly and helpful - we do not speak Italian so using a translation app came in helpful. Close to supermarket and 15 -20 minute walk to Duomo.

The host Antonina is so friendly!

It is a nice place in a good location 10-15 minutes walking from the center. Antonina was very nice and very helpful.

This apartment is very nice, clean and in a very comfortable neighborhood. We have stayed in this apartment 2 times a year already for 6 or 7 years. Antonietta is a very kind and dear person who can inform you all about the nice places in Florence. Antiques, restaurants, festivals, fashion etc etc. The apartment has good beds, a very comfortable and clean kitchen and a sunny flowerfull lovingly maintained garden. We would recommend this tastefull decorated apartment for 2 persons who want to live in Florence in a nice Italian quiet neighborhood!

The accommodation met our four top priorities: quiet location (up until 7.15am, when the rubbish is collected from the bins on the front street!), walking distance to the main sights, a good shower and hob/oven. However, we were not expecting the owner to live in such close proximity and having to share a main entrance hall. Unfortunately, accessing the garden was not always possible, when the owner had her washing out! However, Antonietta was friendly, helpful and kind and was approachable to ask for anything. It felt like we were staying with an Italian grandma, with having to make room for our belongings etc. There were lots of antiques, cupboards and drawers filled with Antonietta’s items such as books. It was also equipped with inappropriate furniture and kitchen gear, but it kind of adds to the charm of the place! Please note, pictures 13 & 14 do not exist in this property! We were disappointed that there was no TV, or sofa to sit on. However, overall, the property was clean,good value and in a great location.
