IDEAL EXHIBITORS PITTI FAIRS AND CONGRESSES, 100m from S.M. Novella, Tranvia, a

The best feature of this apartment is that it is close to the historic center of Florence. We were not allowed to drop off our luggage at the apartment early and had to pay to have the luggage stored. No where in the description of the apartment does it indicate that it is a top floor apartment. Four flights of narrow uneven stairs pitched downward in a dark hallway that has lights on a short timer was not what I consider safe. No one met us at the apartment to collect the city tax or to review our documents. No napkins or paper towels. The towels were worn to a threadbare state and only one set per person for the stay. The introductory instructions included “ House Rules” related to noise. I think that a respectful request to be considerate would be preferable. For all other apartments that we have engaged through VRBO we felt welcomed, not here. On the front doors in English in bold letters DO NOT PARK IN FRONT ON THE DOORS! I would not recommend this apartment. FYI, one of the hand rails is loose. The cleaning fee should include trash removal but in this instance we were directed to remove our own trash and take it to public bins away from the apartment.

We stayed four nights here while attending a conference. The location is fantastic: a 2-minute walk to Fortezza da Basso and very close to many lovely restaurants/landmarks. The apartment was easy to access, clean, and well-organized. Lea was very responsive throughout the entire process. Contrary to prior reviews, the apartment has an excellent air conditioning/heating system. We would recommend without hesitation.

Great apartment in a great location

The location and communication with host were excellent. The host arranged self check-in for us and provided great instructions. We arrived early and the apartment was ready. We enjoyed the art in the apartment. The host even allowed us to check out about 30 minutes later. I do feel, however, that the rating is far too high for this apartment. This is my first time booking a VRBO with such great reviews that has been so disappointing. Our two biggest needs are good air conditioning and comfortable beds to sleep in. The loft where my husband and I were supposed to sleep was uninhabitable because it was so hot (mid June). We had the air conditioning going full blast, but it is mounted below the loft, so the loft does not feel any cool air coming from the air conditioning. My husband had to “sleep” on the couch to avoid sweating all night. An additional air unit in the loft is needed. The mattress desperately needs to replaced. It felt like laying on a board. There don’t seem to be enough outlets in the apartment, and outlets seem to all be three prong, but the hair dryer, iron, etc are two prong. The outlet didn’t seem to work in the bathroom. In order to run the washer, I had to unplug the air conditioning while it was going. The Moka pot for coffee was very unclean. There were large spots of mold on the shower curtain in the bathroom. A new mattress and air unit for the loft, exhaust fan for the bathroom, new shower curtain, and maybe a few wine glasses would help.

Nice apartment but be aware of three flights of steep stairs especially with luggage. Host was wonderful, apartment was clean, overall very happy with our 5 night stay. Many restaurants and little store on the block. Convenient to transpotation and everything we did.

Excellent location. Be aware, Must climb 50 steps. Good communication with host.

We enjoyed our time in the apartment. It was comfortable, well appointed and the location was extremely convenient. We will consider staying here again.

Location was perfect. It was just a short walk from the train station. We absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Good location, fine place

We loved our stay in Florence. This appartment is very well situated, near the train station and not too far from the center. The appartment was clean and well equipped. The only downside is that the room isn't closed with real walls. It's panels and a big wardrobe that block the view, but the sound can go through. It wasn't so fun as we were travelling with a baby, so we couldn't make any noise once she was in bed. But other than that we loved it. Also, the appartment is on the 3rd floor, so be ready to climb stairs ?
