Small but cozy flat located in the center of Florence, 5 minutes walk from the main Santa Maria Novella station. The apartment is located inside a historic building, in fact the flat itself dates back to the 1300s, as can be seen from the decorations on the ceiling. Located on the first floor without a lift, located inside a corridor also owned to ensure maximum privacy and hospitality. In the street of the apartment there are shops for the purchase of food and basic necessities, but also bars, trattorias, a left-luggage office for any eventuality and a laundromat exactly 3 minutes away. The competitive position allows you to easily get around the center by walking, without having to resort to the use of vehicles or public transport. Fall in love with this beautiful city, full of art and history!

This apartment was in a great location! Very close to the train station and less than a 20 minute walk to all of the major attractions. The bed was very comfortable however the staircase leading up to the bedroom was a little small for a bigger person. Check in was very simple and the host was easy to communicate with. Overall would highly recommend!
The listing is very accurate. It is not trying to lie to you. It is a simple but cute apartment. It has everything you really need! We stayed for 5 nights and it was amazing. It is very close to the train station so perfect to take short day trips from Florence. Also a short walk away from the more touristy area.
The owner was very nice and super responsive as well!
Highly recommend it!

Great for the price
If you are looking for a less expensive place to stay in Florence, look no further. It is a no frills kind of apartment which is accessible to all areas of Florence via walking.
I will say that the area is very busy all night long. You will hear street noise - if this does not bother you then you will have an excellent stay.
This was the best accommodation if you are traveling to Florence. The location is central to major tourist sites, close to amazing food, gelatto and drinks, not to mention about 5-10min from SMN train station. The host is exceptionally nice and meets you at the apartment. The space itself is spacious and clean with a street that is great enough for some good rest after a long day. I can truly say the only complaint was the water pressure but that was to be expected in a building that is historic from the 1300s. I can't recommend this flat highly enough. Was so perfect for me and my partner!

Not our favorite stay
This was not our favorite stay. If you have mobility or balance issues, consider staying elsewhere, as getting up and down the rickety spiral staircase to the bed area can be difficult or even dangerous, especially at night in the dark when you have to go to the bathroom urgently.The “double” bed is essentially just two twins shoved together, with a gap between them. We found long dark human hairs on the extra comforter. Watch carefully around the bedframe, it sticks out and I banged my leg hard on the frame and got a large goose-egg on my shin.If you need to send a message to the owner, be prepared for a delayed response, as it may take until the next day. No ability to control the heat in the room, and lots of noise from the street and apartments above or next door. Positives: They had a decently stocked kitchen with dishes, a fridge and microwave. We didn’t use these much. Hot water works luckily!
Large open space for people to relax, easy place to access, and far enough to be away from a lot of tourists, but still close enough to all the touristy things you might want to do :)

A decent place in a convenient part of town. We did not find it a very comfortable experience, and communication with the property manager was challenging and slow.
Couldn't work out if the stairs were squeeky or my knees. However, it turned out to be the stairs. The keys are challenging. Cute spot to stay, but can be noisy. Florence is amazing. My favourite city in the world.
My wife and I loved this property. Great location, definitely spacious enough for both of us, and quite clean as well. The spiral staircase, while fun, is a little bit awkward to navigate at times, and the noise from outside is noticeable at times during the night, but that’s to be expected in a downtown location! We loved our stay, and would definitely stay there again if we make our way back to Florence!
Had a great time at this apartment. Very close to the train station was a huge plus. Easy to check in and the host was very responsive. Would recommend!

The location is very central, which makes it convenient for exploring the city. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, which I appreciated. However, some of the dishes were not properly cleaned, which was unpleasant.
The main issue is the noise level. You can hear almost everything from the street, including conversations. More problematic is that the bedroom is separated from another rental room only by a glass partition, so voices and other noises carry through very clearly. In addition, noise from the hallway is very noticeable — whenever someone returns, you can hear doors slamming, and if guests come back late at night, it is likely to wake you up. The apartment is also located above a luggage store, so early in the morning you hear people moving their trolleys. Due to poor insulation, these sounds are particularly loud and disruptive.
Another issue was the Wi-Fi. The password provided by the host was incorrect, so we initially had no internet access. We eventually managed to connect by accessing the router in the hallway and scanning the QR code, which led us to a different network than the one communicated by the host.
Finally, the “double bed” is simply two single beds pushed together, which may not be comfortable for everyone.
