Excellent property and location. As described in reviews, there are a lot of steps but completely manageable. Responsive host. Only negative was that lights in the common stairwell were inoperable at night.

A cool experience

This is the first place that we stayed in Italy. My expectations may not be in touch with reality. With that being said, the apartment itself is magical in its own way, uncertainly authentic to Florence. The antiquity surrounds you giving you that European experience that many travelers are seeking. In my case I’m traveling with my family who are not quite as adventurous as Only drawbacks might be with the size of bathrooms, lighting issues, or overall cleanliness. In all fairness, I will say that the place is extremely clean and well kept, and that this is Italy and that anyone should lower their expectations when comparing it to something Modern In this case this numerous stairs could be a concern for some families. I thought all of these features are part of the experience and makes it cool and unique to Florence but my wife feels otherwise. Apartment was overall accommodating and perfect for our family and while I have no actual hotels that I can compare it to, I thought this apartment was unique and historic and special.

Fantastic flat in the heart of Florence

My family and I enjoyed our stay at your place in Florence. The location was perfect and we had plenty of space for all six of us to sleep and each shared a bathroom/shower with one person from our group. Definitely will come back and stay at your place again. Thank you.

Great Apartment in Fantastic Location in the heart of Florence

A great apartment in the heart of Florence. A quick walk to all the local attractions with great restaurants just outside your door. Check-in was easy and the apartment was well setup with all of the necessities you would need. Lots of room on 3 floors for our family four to stretch out. Would definitely recommend.

Iconic Florence Stay

This was my friends and I first time in Florence, we wanted a place close to the action so we could walk places. This was the perfect location for us, right near the river, near shops and restaurants, and a close walk to all of the sites. Also, big bonus in the Italian summer it had AC. We loved the aesthetic of the home, it was classic and beautiful. Plenty of space for our group which had 5 of us and a baby. There are quite a bit of stairs, so make sure you are comfortable with that. If it’s not an issue, than this is the perfect spot. The hosts were very easy to communicate with, and the check in process was easy as well. We definitely would stay here again if we were in Florence! Thank you!!!

Great location

Great location and easy access to most of Florence. The apartment was lovely, plenty of space for us all and AC units in each bedroom. The only issue we had was accessing the apartment, we didn’t receive check in access and had to call to receive it. But otherwise all was wonderful and perfect for us.

Amazing stay in Florence!

Superb apartment, Tuscan spirit and refinement

The house is a mix of modernity, as very comfortable and very well equipped, and ancient materials. Everything is beautiful and made to feel that you are good, while respecting the Tuscan spirit. We want to thank Gaia for being so accommodating on such short notice. we are sure to return!

Not for older people!

The apartment was spare but fine - nothing fancy but comfortable. However, what isn't mentioned is that there are very very steep and narrow stairs throughout that are dangerous for little kids or older people. And while there is an elevator, it stops 8 steep steps before the apartment door.

Beautiful apartment and very gracious host.

The apartment is beautiful, spacious and in a great location. It's walking distance to everything but not too close to the noisy, crowded areas by the Duomo. Our host was very helpful and accommodating and informative. I would 100 percent recommend this apartment. We had a wonderful experience and anytime we had questions we were able to stop in next door where the host worked and ask questions, which he graciously answered. Loved this place!!!

Great location

This location couldn't have been any better. It is close to everything. We had a good stay and lots of great memories. Finding the location wasn't easy apple maps had us a block away, the instructions via email didn't help much and communication with the host was hit and miss. It says it sleep 7 and that is really pushing it. The listing say 3 rooms in one spot and 4 rooms in another spot. It’s 2 rooms an a loft and there is a cot for a 7th person you can pull into a room or the loft. The apartment is much darker than the pictures lead you to believe. We had lots of stairs everywhere we stayed in Italy but this place had by far the most. If you don't have someone with some muscle this isn't the place for you if you have suitcases.

Awesome place, very comfortable, great location!!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The apartment is well positioned to enjoy all aspects of Florence (Firenze). The greeting host was kind. We, a family of 5 traveling for 5 days together, had plenty of places to find our own peace. Great place! One note: we did not realize there was a “tourism tax” that would be collected in cash when we arrived. Apparently this is normal, but we were not aware. It adds a significant amount to the total. This is apparently true with any location in Florence, but should be noted if you’re like me and keep a tight budget.

Perfect Location and Apartment

The apartment was beautiful. It was located very close to all the popular tourist sites and was in perfect condition. Without the cleaning crew, we would not have been able to figure out how to get into the apartment. I must say, the cleaners were super helpful and did a fantastic job in helping us feel comfortable. The apartment has a clothes washer, but no dryer. Although there is a drying rack and clothes hangers to dry clothing so having a dryer was not a problem. We were very happy with our three day stay there and would definitely return. Florence is an amazingly beautiful city. Grateful for our time there.

Loved the location of the apartment and the old world charm of the place

The apartment was perfect for our family of 4--everyone had their own space and the beds were firm & comfortable. We loved the location as it seemed to be a 10-15 minute walk to everywhere we wanted to go. Although the kitchen is tiny, we managed to cook dinner with provisions obtained from the Central Market. The air conditioning was a god-send as the temperatures were 103-105 degrees--it really kept the apartment cool and comfortable even though the apartment is on the top floor of the building. The only reason why we are giving this apartment a 4 star rating is the showers. They are tiny and it took a while for the hot water to heat up and then it ran out very quickly.

Summer in Florence

The apartment was in a great location. The entrance to the building was not so easy to find since the numbers of the building were a bit misleading ( bldg 17 was not across from 16&18). A picture of the actual door from the street view would be very helpful. Also, the bedrooms were upstairs and one had to use very narrow stairways to get up. Might be an issue for travelers with limited mobility. Other than that, it was a very nice apartment.

great location, delightful atmosphere and very accommodating hosts

We were three couples who traveled to Florence together and were fortunate to be able to book this wonderful place on short notice for one night. It was such a convenient location for touring the city and had all we needed. The decor was beautiful and it was fun to open the windows and look outside at the street and views below. The manager, Stefano was very helpful and accommodating for us to leave our luggage so we could enjoy Florence before leaving by train the next afternoon. The bedrooms upstairs were nice size and had their own bathrooms. The third bedroom was a hide a bed in the loft with the bath on the main level. Our only complain was that a bed would have been much more comfortable for a good night's sleep in the loft. That said...we would stay there again and give it 5 stars....a regular bed would be and add on 6 star!!!
