    This place was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! As advertised, there are a lot of steps but well worth it with the beautiful view that it has. Washer/dryer was a great plus since we were traveling throughout Italy during our stay. Host was responsive and very helpful with local suggestions even before we came to Italy!! Would definitely recommend and stay here again in a heartbeat!

    Everything was amazing and as communicated on the description and more. Paolo greeted us and gave us wonderful food and sightseeing recommendations and the apartment had every detail and amenity to make our family stay as comfortable as possible. The location is perfect - just outside the crowds and noise but with wonderful restaurants, bars, cafes, and other services. I was hesitant to put a recommendation so not too many people find out about it but Silvia/Paolo deserve the 5 stars!

    This was the perfect way to do Florence! In an amazing location out of the way of heavy tourist activity. Could immerse in the culture but easily get wherever we wanted to go. The apartment was clean, spacious and updated with privacy for all 5 of us as well! Could not recommend more highly!

    We loved our stay at the Basket of Angels! After mastering the 75 stairs up and back down, we enjoyed being in a less touristy location. We liked Paulo’s welcome, washer/dryer amenities, and the FAB gelato stop close by. When the remotes needed batteries to function and provide heat, we so loved a visit from Silvia’s friend in our same building. What a treat to wine and dine together looking out to see the Duomo from our open window. Thank you Silvia for sharing this space with us.

    For us it is like coming home now. The location, property, hospitality are all perfect. We happily return to the lovely apartment eyrie with fantastic views time and again. This time there were five of us, our three children adult through to teenage, all joined us and the accommodation fitted us perfectly. Great for the city access but also lovely just as it is. We’ll be back. Thanks to Paolo for his flexibility with our arrival (the trains were on strike) and to Silvia for enabling me to add our eldest son easily to the booking at the last minute. Another success.

    Lots of places to stay while in Florence, but few - if any - can top Silvia’s “Basket of Angels”. This apartment is exactly as advertised. Perfect location. Super comfortable bedrooms. Terrific views. Silvia was fantastic. Part of our company arrived early in the morning and Silvia arranged to check them in several hours early. Very much appreciated Silvia…, thank you!!! We would certainly stay here again, and highly recommend this apartment for your stay in Florence.

    The apartment was beautiful, clean, and very spacious. The view from the bedroom window is amazing. The neighborhood was quiet but close to great food and the center of the city (we were able to walk everywhere). Communication with the owner was very easy and she was very nice to help us get settled in on the evening of our arrival. We would definitely stay here again if we had the opportunity.
