It was perfect for two couples.
There were 4 adults and we loved Sonia’s place. The two bedroom, two baths were a great size. We had all we needed and more. The washer came in handy and we aired dried our clothes . We had rain several says and would have loved to have enjoyed the courtyard more. Beds were comfy and loved the location. Sonia was always available readily to answer any questions, book a taxi, or help us out. Very convenient to the bus stop. Its like right outside the door. Thank you for the best experience ever for our first trip to Italy!! It was like staying at a dear friends house!

Best Place & Host Ever
We had such a great stay at Sonia's place in Florence. The location is walkable to everything, but nothing is close. However, it's away from the tourist areas and has a great local vibe to it so it was perfect for our needs. I would stay here again in a heart beat. Sonia was one of the best hosts we have ever had staying in dozens of VRBO's. She helped with getting us cabs, suggesting walking routes, and even pointed out the best local restaurants. I cannot underscore how nice it was to have a local trusted source.

Lovely host
A cute little apartment in a wonderful area. Sonia was incredibly organized from the initial booking through to meeting us at arrival. Communication was very easy. She took the time to go through the entire apartment with us until we were comfortable. Tea, coffee and condiments were all available for our use. She is very knowledgeable of the city and recommended some fabulous restaurants. Make sure to visit Napoleonis and Trattoria BBQ…delicious meals within walking distance. The small garden outside is such a welcome addition…perfect place for coffee in the morning. The apartment is within walking distance to anything in the city and it was nice to stay across the Arno, away from the crowds.

10/10 stay!
This property was the perfect home for our Florence vacation. We loved staying in this part of the city which was close enough to walk to all the main attractions in city center but away from all the busyness of that area. Sonia was an amazing host—one our best ever. She helped us navigate the bus and gave great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Favorite things we did (at Sonia’s suggestion!) were Piazelle Michelangelo and Pitti Palace. If we make our way back to Florence someday, I hope Sonia is still hosting!

We had a wonderful stay in Florence and a lot of that had to do with this relaxing and peaceful home to come back to everyday after a busy day exploring this beautiful city. Our host was so generous and very helpful, we are so grateful to have stayed here. It was so close and walkable to everything in the city. I would highly recommend it.

Girls Italy trip
Great location. Grocery stores, restaurants, gelato and pharmacy within a very short walk. Sonia was amazing to deal with- replied to messages very quickly and when we arrived spent time to go through the apartment with us and tell us about the neighbourhood ( even drew everything for us on a map). Great outdoor space for dinner and drinks. Only down side (and it’s minor) is that because there were 5 of us, this unfortunately meant the sitting room was converted into a bedroom so there was limited sitting space inside. Having said that, we were able to easily convert the bed back into a couch when we needed to. Like I said, minor issue. Overall a great trip. Grazie Sonia!!!

Perfect stay for a quick Florentine trip!
We really enjoyed Sonia’s place in Florence. The location was surprisingly great! Much more of a local vibe with great restaurants nearby. Florence is such a walkable city and it was easy to walk to the city’s central area. Sonia gave us helpful instructions and tips for our quick 2-night stay. The size was more than comfortable for me and my friend. Would highly recommend staying here! Thank you Sonia - you were a great host!

So much better than a hotel
We wanted something a little outside of all the tourists attractions but close enough. The house was very clean and well organized. Three bedrooms and 2 full baths gave us lo the room we needed. The owner was very attentive to our needs. She made sure we knew what restaurants were close and good! She took time to map out suggestions of “must see” areas in Florence. I would stay here again.

This apartment was wonderful and absolutely perfect for our Florence visit. The neighborhood was great. Close to the main City Center but in a more local area with great restaurants and activities. Sonia was a perfect host, from our (a little later than planned) check in to arranging a taxi for us when departing. Highly recommend Sonia's place in Florence!

Large 2 Bedroom 2 bathroom apartment in Florence
We had a wonderful 2 night stay stay in Sonia’s apartment in Florence, just outside the ZTL zone of the Florence city centre. Travelling by car, we needed parking and a safe and secure garage was located just around the corner from the apartment. Sonia arranged a booking for our car which made it so easy for us. The apartment has everything one needs for a wonderful stay in Florence. Clean, comfortable and all amenities are provided. Having well coded bins for rubbish and recycling was excellent. We were spoilt for choice with restaurants in the neighborhood offering local delicacies and great service. Sonia was ever so helpful and giving with her knowledge about Florence and very quick to reply to any questions we had during the booking process. The quiet courtyard would be a wonderful oasis to relax in during the warmer months. We can’t wait to return to Florence and stay in Sonia’s apartment in the European Summer.
