About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Close to the Duomo and the Uffizi, welcoming and independent on the ground floor

The location is very central: a few steps from the Duomo, the city center, but also from Santa Croce, Palazzo Signoria, Ponte Vecchio and all the main museums and places to visit in Florence. The street is quiet, but the adjacent neighborhood is full of life and small restaurants that welcome both locals and visiting tourists with their inviting menus. The choice ranges from the restaurant adjacent to the Synagogue, with kosher food, to vegan and vegetarian restaurants, to others with typical Tuscan cuisine, to small bistros that offer interesting alternatives for a quick snack. A well-stocked supermarket is about 50 meters from the apartment, open until 9:00 PM, even on Sundays.
Public transportation is in the adjacent street, but you will not need to use it unless you want to reach Fiesole or other more distant places (Piazzale Michelangelo is about 30 minutes away on foot).
The apartment is equipped with a dishwasher, washer-dryer, microwave, electric oven, hairdryer, wi-fi, iron and ironing board (on request), as well as sheets and towels.
The bedroom has a double bed; in a niche there is a bunk bed.
At the entrance / living room there is a cozy sofa, flanked by an armchair for relaxing moments.
The kitchen, very equipped, has everything you need to prepare meals of all kinds. An American coffee machine is available, as well as the Italian one.
Near the apartment: a supermarket, a pharmacy, gyms, spas, restaurants, shops and everything that can make your stay pleasant.
For those arriving by car there are many parking spaces available: I will take care of giving you all the information you need to leave your car safely.

A late check in (from 20:00 to 23:00) will costs 30 euro more. Check-in after 23:00 on requests, at the costs of 50 eur.
A late check out (till 13:00), when possible, will cost 20 euros.

From 1 July 2011 the Municipality of Florence established the tourist tax with resolution of the City Council No. 230/33 of 20/06/2011, supplemented with resolution No. 21/2012.
The tax is applied to the overnight stays of guests not residing in the Municipality of Florence and for a maximum of 7 consecutive nights.
The tax rate for this accommodation facility is Euro 5.50 per person per night.

Spacious and Great Location
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was extremely spacious, especially in comparison to everywhere else we stayed in Italy. There is definitely some street noise at night, so may recommend bringing a white noise machine if you’re a light sleeper. Close proximity to plenty of dining and site seeing. We would stay here again!

In a great location that is generally clean and felt safe. Close to many services and attractions. Nice apartment with many amenities. A good amount of city noise was present late into the evening. The main downside was that there were many insects and spiders. We were all bitten each night, all over. It was truly unpleasant, uncomfortable and unattractive. One of the bunk beds smelled of weed. Lastly, it would’ve been preferable to receive two house keys so people in our party could move independently.

This was our first visit to Florence and we were not disappointed. The apartment is on the ground floor and easy to access with luggage. It is a short walk to all of the major city sights. Communication with the owner was excellent. The apartment was comfortable and met our needs for the three nights we were there. Excellent location and a local, well stocked grocery store is just down the street.

Great Place!
This was our first experience with any kind of Home Away/Airbnb place and it was great! Annalisa left a nice book of information about the area and instructions on how to use everything. The apartment is close to everything so we could walk everywhere. The area felt safe too. It can be a little noisy so bring earplugs and it won't matter. We would stay there again!

Perfect location/comfortable apartment
My husband and I stayed at Annalisa's apartment for 4 nights on our visit to Florence. She graciously allowed us to check in early due to our flight arrival. The locations was great and we could easily walk to the Uffizi and the Duomo. It was very convenient having the washer and dryer. The only slight issue is the shower pan has ridges which are uncomfortable on one's feet and there weren't enough hooks to hang up towels. We would definitely stay there again!

Ground floor apartment
We were very happy with our stay. The owner left detailed instructions on how to work the washing machine. We really appreciated the ground floor entry after so many stairs elsewhere. The kitchen was very well stocked, with cooking utensils and a larger refrigerator. There was a grocery store near by. The owner met us at the apartment for check in and when we had trouble arranging for a taxi to pick us up she arranged that for us

Lovely Apartment in Florence
Our stay in the apartment was very comfortable. It was very clean and neat and all appliances worked fine. We loved the combo washer/dryer! The apartment is very cozy and quiet. We were centrally located and walked everywhere. The market was close by and also many restaurants. Our check in process was fast and easy. We would happily stay here again!

Annalisa's apartment was beautiful and very well maintained. We only spent 2 nights but it was a very nice environment and well equipped place to stay. Her daughter Sarah met us upon arrival and we were able to check in and leave our luggage a bit earlier than originally confirmed, she was very hospitable and gave us great information and suggestions on where to visit and eat like a local.

Perfect Stay!
This property is so ideally located in Florence. Close to everything, very easy to walk everywhere. The master bedroom bed is large and there is a small room just off the bedroom with bunk beds. The apartment has everything you will need. The kitchen is amply supplied. Washer is in the bathroom (very handy!) Air conditioner worked very well (needed as it is quite hot in July) Annalissa was very responsive to all my questions and even arranged for a taxi to take us to the train station. I highly recommend!

Great Apartment in Great Location!
The apartment was great and has everything you will need. It is in a great location for walking the streets of Florence. This was our first time there and didn't realize how easy it was to get around and this apartment is right in the middle of it. Annalisa and Sarah were very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. We ended up getting there earlier than we thought and they made sure we were able to get in with no issues. It is on the ground level so very good for those that don't like steps. Would definitely stay there again.

it was the most well equipped apartment we have been in.
The owners were lovely people, and the apartment could not have been better. The air conditioning was great and only needed to be set to DRY to make the air perfect during the hot muggy days we were there. The kitchen was very complete . It was like we lived there. We could not ask for more. And it truly was 1st floor with elegant metal gates to the beautiful front door. Very safe feeling. And the location was fantastic for sightseeing on foot. We will stay there again.
