My best tips and suggestions from a local point of view are the extra for a unique traveling experience in my bella Firenze :)
The apartment is located in one of the most appealing residential areas of Florence, beloved by locals thanks of its lively yet safe and relaxing atmosphere. Piazza delle Cure, only 7 minutes by foot form the apartment, literally bursts with life during the daily (except for Sundays) outdoor market where locals buy fresh veggies, fruit, meat and cheese or stroll around the booths looking for some new outfits at very competitive prices.
The area has everything you may need: supermarket, cafes, trattorias, gelaterie, fashion stores, a beautiful bookstore, bakeries, pharmacies, etc…
Shopping in this area is indeed cheaper than in the rest of the city as the area is located just outside the main city boulevards (that pass through Piazza Liberta’ and mark the border of the historical centre) but it's still within walking distance from the main attractions.
YOU ARE ONLY:
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT (BUS # 1):
(bus stop next to the main door or within 3 minutes walking distance)
10 minutes from Piazza San Marco
15 minutes from Central Station
BY FOOT: 20 minutes from Piazza San Marco / Galleria dell’Accademia
BY CAR: 5 minutes from the city center.
PARKING:
The great thing about my apartment is that parking is easy and is free in the street parallel to our street. What a great opportunity to use my property as a perfect base to discover by car the beautiful cities and landscapes that Tuscany has to offer!
QUIETNESS:
As opposed to other apartments in the city center, you will fully enjoy the tranquility of this area, far better than the noisy narrow medieval streets packed with people that will often prevent you from sleeping at night.
CHECK IN PROCEDURE:
As this is not a hotel (but the personal assistance is far better, trust me!), and therefore there is no 24/7 reception duty, in order to organize the check in I will need the exact time of your arrival at the apartment. I will allow a maximum of 30 minutes of delay, after which we may leave the place and you will need to schedule another appointment by calling us directly.
Late check in (after 8pm) - € 30 to be paid at check in

It was a very smooth process for checkin/out. Recommendations for neighborhood spots was great!
If you want to feel like a local, and get to know a neighborhood without crashing into tourist after tourist, then this is the place for you! This apartment is clean, comfortable, lovely, quaint, and charming, as are the host’s, (Bitte’s Parents), whom will greet you and give you lay of the land. They provided us with directions, recommendations and a marked map to help us navigate the area by either walking, bus or taxi, they even called us a taxi when it was time to leave for the train station. We loved coming home to this peaceful apartment after our crowded, noisy days in the main square/piazza. Grocery, bus stop, parks, and a very nice restaurant, (Casa Paloma), are all within a 5 to 10 minute walk. The 1930’s windows and doors are extremely well made, and blend well with the modern kitchen, and furnishings. The bed is comfortable, and room stays dark. I loved hanging my clothes to dry, and making the coffee each morning Italian style, and drinking it on the balcony like a true Italian! Just a note here; there is no television, (which was fine for me as I love to read, and as too busy site seeing to want to watch t.v.), and no A/C, (which worked out because the apartment has very thick walls and great windows/shutters to keep the heat out). Also in Italy first floor means second floor for Americans, (must be able to climb stairs). We will definitely stay here again if The Fates should ever bring us back to stunning Florence, Italy!
It’s a super clean apartment with a very Italian and light decoration. It’s so cozy and cute ? I would recommend this place for sure!!!
The property was clean, lovely and perfect to accommodate my siblings and I ! We had such a great time exploring Florence and we enjoyed coming back to calm and safety to this appartement after a long day in the center. The host provided some thoughtful and amazing list of local addresses— this helped us enjoy some delicious and authentic Italian food! I will definitively be coming back for my next trip in the region!
We arrived to this apt and had trouble with the neighbors next door while trying to check in. They were in a screaming/yelling argument with the hosts because they were not okay with them constantly renting the apartment out. They screamed at us as we tried to bring our luggage in and were being physically held back by others in their home which honestly scared us a lot. We spoke with the hosts and they advised us not to make any noise in the bedroom so we don’t upset them and to call the police if they try to cause any issues. We did not feel comfortable staying and attempted to get a refund but was refused due to no direct fault of the host (she cannot control the neighbors). After speaking with both the host and VRBO support, they advised us to get a police report for that incident in order to be refunded. We did not have the time or resources to do that but wanted to leave immediately so we got a hotel near the city center. Leaving this apt was a nightmare as taxis do not come there and we had little knowledge of any other transportation, we had to walk a few miles closer to the city until a taxi was able to give us a ride. The host did provide a partial refund of about 30% which we really appreciate, but it did put a major damper on our first night in Florence.
The apartment is wonderful and pristine clean with beautiful wooden floors. The unit is located in a neighborhood within Florence but about a 30 minute bus ride from the main downtown district. It's a great place to stay to experience life in Florence with the local people and away from the tourists. BItte's father and mother were the caretakers and very helpful. Highly recommend the property.
We used this property for 3 weeks as our home base to travel all around the central and north part of Italy. The property itself is in a quiet, residential area, but the buses to the train station., as well as to stops near the city center are steps away. Super convenient. The apartment is very clean and safe! Includes a washer and a balcony overlooking a quiet courtyard, which was a great place to unwind with some wine at the end of the day. It’s also convenient to a market (coop) for some wine, cheese, and salami for a nice snack. Bed and pillows are comfortable, the bathroom is great. The property is spacious. We hope to return!
Very spacious and clean with all the updated ammenties. Hosts were warm and friendly and able to answer all our questions. We were in Florence for 3 days, and enjoyed it a lot. The location is far enough away from the main attractions that we needed to take a quick, low cost bus into town.
Great place, lovely owners. Very comfortable and practical. Short distance form the city centre, but quiet.
This place is a lovely place in a beautiful city. It felt like home. Thank you sooo much for taking care of everything. It was a great time!
