Art Apartment Luxury Sofia Suite

The location was just across the river in a quieter and less expensive area, but still within walking distance of all major attractions. Apartment is on third floor, not second as noted in the listing. Downstairs entrance needs paint and there are lots of stairs! Beware of extra costs for more than two guests. This was not mentioned at booking and I assumed a two bed, two bathroom place would be natural for two couples. Apparently not. Overall, a decent place, but expensive for what you get.

The location of this property is amazing. it was very clean but needed an interior paint job, lots of scuffing on the walls.Comforable beds and furniture. Lots of steps to get up to the apartment, make sure you don’t forget anything on your way out to explore the city. There is only one very thin towel per person and no extra linens. If you’re there during mosquito season bring bite cream as the apartment was swarming with them.

Everything was perfect. Such a great neighborhood.

Went here for a 15th birthday, went to many cities in Italy but this apartment in Firenze was our favorite. No problems whatsoever, tall ceilings in the one room, which was really nice. So easy to walk to everything near by, great stay!!

Everything was great **********

Great location! Close to everything.

Sophia Suite was located in an attractive area for nightlife and daily activities. The Via Santo Spirito location is very close to the bridge which leads to museums, Duomo, restaurants, and small shops. Our side of the river included a grocery store, artists' studios, small restaurants, and a very popular cocktail bar/restaurant right down the street. We had no problem with walking or security. The apartment is several flights up on the second (third) floor, so be prepared to carry your luggage up. Two bedrooms and two modern bathrooms, plus a lovely kitchen and eating area were nicely decorated and provided plenty of storage for a week's worth of clothing. There were two sofas for extra sleeping; one in the loft area with the washer/dryer, and the other in the front living room. David, the owner, made exceptional efforts to ensure our stay was comfortable and well-appointed. He was always available by text message. The manual on the premises was full of suggestions for dining, shopping, and tours. We were all very satisfied with the price, quality of the accommodations, attention to detail, and pleasant neighborhood. We were honored to call ourselves the Italian Sophias!

Really, really cool apartment. Modern, yet artsy in a trendy location with restaurants and some shopping on the street. It was not congested or noisy. The apartment was comfortable and clean. This host was a professional and was extremely responsive, even to some of my dumb questions. Would stay again in a heartbeat!!

Very interesting apartment. Beaufuly incorporating the historic structure of the building with modern design. Good location in the city. Close to so many of the sites one wants to see. The only downside is the stairs one needs to traverse with your luggage, but it’s not a huge problem.

Charming apartment in a perfect location. My family had a lot of space to relax. As with anywhere in this area, mosquitoes can be a problem.
