Piazza Della Signoria
We enjoyed the apartment and location. All four of us had challenges with mosquitoes. We did not open the windows because there were no screens. I would charge more and install screens. The noise at night from the square was disturbing- more than we anticipated. Otherwise it was positive

Perfect Location… and true time machine!
We were in Florence in October and had perfect weather, so really were out and about the entire time. This property is historic and we found it special to stay in a place that is so authentic. The location is incredible and just footsteps from historic spots in the city center.

What a great location
Perfect apartment for two couples exploring Florence for the first time. Good sized bedrooms and a decent sitting room and kitchenette. And in the most perfect location ever! Just one recommendation: please add a colour key for the recycling bins. We had no idea what was meant to go in which bin.

Delightful and magic
Our stay in Florence was one of the best travel experiences I have had. The flat is in an authentic, well-maintained palazzo whose massive wooden door opens directly on the Piazza Della Signoria. Despite being located on a popular tourist piazza, the flat was quiet. The bedroom windows looked out into a lively side street, but still - the rooms were quiet at night. We had two generous bedrooms, as my husband snores and is a restless sleeper. Everything worth seeing - including shopping, dining and museums and sites - was within an easy 5 to 10 minute walk from the dwelling. We were a12 minute walk from the train station and the Fortezza da Basso, where we were attending a medical conference. Grocery stores were within 5 minutes walk. The flat has all the modern conveniences and everything is in good working order. There are 2 TV screens for viewing on a quiet evening. The flat decor was the most charming - rustic -style with floor tiles, dark wood furniture, large wooden ceiling beams and dark -iron beds with crisp white linens. The kitchen was well-equipped. The hosts were quick to respond to any and all questions. I highly recommend this lovely accommodation.

Perfect
The apartment was exactly as advertised. Air conditioning worked very well, which was much appreciated given the mid 90’s temperatures. We arrived early and we were allowed in. The apartment was rustic and very comfortable. The location was PERFECT! It was within easy walking distance to virtually everywhere we wanted to go, including the train station. Thank you to Pietro and Gaia! If I return to Florence I will seek to stay here again before looking anywhere else. I highly recommend this place.

In the Heart of Venice
Property is right on the Palazzo Vecchio and all the major tourist attractions are very easy to access from the apartment. A lot of old world character the apartment. The beds were comfortable and the A/C worked well and was a much needed break from the Florence heat in July. Directions for check-in were easy to follow and required no personal interaction. It would have been nice to get a slightly earlier check-in, but the door access app appears to be hard coded to only work after check-in time.

Perfect location
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is amazing and allows for easy access to all the major sites. We felt safe and secure, and even though it was in the middle of a busy area it was quiet at night. The unit is well equipped with lots of space. The air conditioning works great which was very nice during July!

Great location with long history
We loved this location of this property. We especially enjoyed the history. The interior of the unit was just a bit dark. It could use a couple of extra end table lamps but that really did not detract from our visit. It was a great unit.

Absolute premium location and beautiful apartment but NO A/C!!!
This place could not be in a better spot. We loved everything about it except the lack of air conditioning. It was highs of 80 degrees or so when we were there and the nights were still uncomfortable for sleep. If it were any warmer, we'd have had to go to a hotel. All 3 A/C units in the place were unable to put out any cold air AT ALL. Very disappointing when you pay a price like this and the listing includes A/C as an amenity. Otherwise, the place was great.

Misleading
While the property is in a great location, more than half of the amenities and utilities were not working. One of the toilets was out of order and the air conditioning did not work at all. With sweltering temperatures, it is unacceptable to not provide air conditioning. In addition, the wifi was not working leaving us unable to contact the host about the issues. Would not recommend staying here.

Incredible Time at the Time Machine
We loved the apartment we rented while visiting our daughter who is studying abroad in Florence. It is an old palace and right on the Palazzo Vecchio. It was such a perfect location...truly in the heart of the city. It had charm, lovely pictures, the front doors to the building where gorgeous and twenty feet high! We highly recommend.

Hidden fees and poor plumbing
Upon check out we were told to leave cash for some extra fee- that was never part of the original booking. Also we were charged for plumbing because the toilets didn't flush since we arrived. It's really old and poor plumbing. He claims we broke not one but both toilets and wanted us to pay for it. They were not working on arrival.
