Excellent two-roomed apartment in Pontevecchio WiFi Air conditioning lift renovated

The property was amazing!! Just wish the air-conditioning was a little cooler. But other than that it was a great place to stay

It was a wonderful apt. to rent.

Only two negative impressions:1. Zero rolls of toilet paper when we checked in (corrected within 1 hour). and 2. Management was zero help in securing a taxi(dragging 4 suitcases toward the train station was brutal). The Windows could benefit from blackout curtains (that would also help to dampen the street noise.

We didn't expect too much for he price and location, but the place was soulless regarding decor and the stench coming from the kitchen was unrecognizable but so bad we left early and lost money. Had to wash our clothes at next hotel b/c the smell was in everything. Also, big road construction project at end of street and building construction at other end. Way too loud to enjoy space during the day. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Air France went on strike the day before our arrival. We had to change our flights. So we were going to be 3 hours later. I notified my contact via email. No response til we landed in Germany the day of our arrival. I informed him I couldn’t find him on WhatsApp and in case my cell didn’t work calling his number.... I’d email the minute we were leaving airport in Florence around 5:45pm so he could meet us at the VRBO. I did and we arrived and waited 20 min. No one showed up. The entire entry hall area smelled like a dirty bathroom. Finally we went next door to get some much needed tea and food and tried to call him. It wouldn’t go thru. I had to borrow an employee’s cell phone to call. He hadn’t checked his email at all and had to send someone else over w a key. I will not use VRBO from now on. What a frustrating way to end 2 days of travel.

The location of this property was excellent. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in Florence. The bathroom was small. But the property was clean. The refund was returned quickly.

Perfect for one person, comfortable for two. Surrounded by lovely shops and inviting restaurants. Easy access to all points of Florence. Saturday night can be a bit noisy but being in the middle of the action is worth it.

This was a great apartment, just a few yards off the south end of the Ponte Vecchio. There is a (tiny) lift to take you to the third floor apartment. It's bright and airy, and more than large enough for 2 people and a couple of kids (as an older couple, we didn't try the sofa bed/futon, but it seems unlikely it would fit an adult, never mind two). We were met promptly and shown all the features of the appropriately-furnished apartment. The street has everything you might need if you plan to cook and/or stay more than a couple of nights, including a self-serve laundry directly across the street. However, in addition, there is a wash/dry/fold service also directly across the street. where for less than 20 Euro a washer-load, you can get same day service and go about your fun.

We enjoyed this apartment very much. It is located less than a block from the Ponte Vechio so it is convenient to all the major sites. In five minutes you can be on the other side of the river. The elevator was a plus so we didnt have to walk the stairs if we choose not to. The apartment has plenty of room: A living room, bedroom and galley style kitchen. The bathroom could be a touch larger but was adequate. The kitchen was well equipped. Overall it was a very nice place and we would happily return there.

We rented a car from Bergamo airport, survived the Milan traffic and tunnel delays coming into Florence (5 hour trip), and eventually found the garage next door using Never Lost. (the garage manager puts your tag number on a white list to avoid fines from driving on restricted roads in historic district). (note 30euro per night not included in apartment rate). Found the apartment clean and as pictured: Both the double bed and futon very comfortable, (the living room is tight with the futon pulled out- need to move the table over a bit), AC was helpful in early July, small lift to 3rd floor, Kitchen more than adequate for preparing meals (although we ate out), even had mini kierig type coffee maker, all communication with owner and manager was prompt and helpful, best of all the location! The safe street was quiet and very short walk to Ponte Vecchio Bridge, easy stroll to Boboli Gardens (not so easy hike to Belvedere Fort because of the steep grade uphill-but very easy to find), about 15 min walk to Domo. We looked for restaurants on the other side of bridge, but discovered several better closer to the apartment. Highly recommend the vegetarian restraunt: 5 e Cique just 2 alleys away recommended by apartment manager (Only place that agreed to serve us at our late arrival time, excellent service and english, best meal in Florence and we are not vegetarian). Extremely happy with our stay here.
