Center of everything

The apartment was perfectly located to walk to everything. Checkin was easy and Franco so welcoming. Having a washer was so helpful. Plenty of hot water but the water pressure was definitely on the low side. Would definitely recommend this apartment

Feeling At Home In Florence

Our stay at Miki and Franco’s Michaela Apartment through Italy Perfect was so welcoming and comfortable from check in to checkout. The apartment is so lovely, the neighborhood is fantastic and the hosts treated us like old friends. We had stayed in four other VRBOs during our month traveling through Italy but without question this was the winner!!!

Spacious, clean, fabulous location-best part was how gracious our hosts, Mikiki and Franco were!

Mikki and Franco met us at the apartment on our arrival and we there for checkout. They spent 40 minutes with us at check in; Franco had prepared a hand markup of a Florence map with the apartment and other locations marked and was great about telling how far the walk was to each. Best of all, they recommended 4 separate restaurants and we hit each; wow!! Highly recommend this fabulous spot! Feel free to reach out to us for a convo, as the written word really does not do this couple and location justice.

Disliked: Check-in

Check in process lengthy & they charged for utilities!

I can’t imagine anyone having to go through the one hour check in process after a long flight. I came from Lucca but still didn’t enjoy it. Checkout was expected as well, mostly so the owners can collect the additional utility fees (in cash) for the gas, water and electricity which i do not recall reading when booking. The owner had walked me over to the meter at check in as well as check out which I thought was very tacky. Also the listing says it has carbon monoxide alarm which it doesn’t.

Great location. Loved our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Welll appointed room. Nice neighborhood. Great hosts. EVERYTHING we needed and wanted to see was within walking distance. The Florence Duomo, Arts Accademia, Michaelangelo gardens, so much more. Even the train station was a short walk.

This charming apartment is really well located - easy walk to all of the most interesting parts of Florence. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well provisioned so that it is easy to eat at home. Every aspect of the apartment is comfortable. The building is secure. Our hosts were charming and directed us to very good restaurants nearby. We loved it and we loved Florence.

Great Location and Comfortable Living

We were very pleased with this apartment located just a few minutes from the Duomo and within easy walking distance of sites on both sides of the Arno River. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The hosts were quite gracious and friendly. What we appreciated most was being about to come back in the afternoon to rest up after our morning's experiences, skip the heat of the afternoon, as well as the crowds, and then head out again in the evening. The bakery and coffee shop, as well as the Pam grocery, all within a block, were also appreciated.

Good location. Quirky apartment. Spacious and overall comfortable. Best feature is definitely the location- we could walk everywhere and it was nice to stop in and out throughout the day.

Beautiful Florence

The apartment, Michaela, that we rented in Florence was in the perfect location. It was within walking distance of almost anything you would want to see, and there was a wonderful bakery, a great deli and some wonderful restaurants all within a block or two. The owners of the apartment were charming and helpful. Staying at this apartment was part of what made the entire Florence part of our vacation a favorite.

Ideal Location

We have stayed in Firenze before in hotels, and this was a refreshing change. Ideal location within easy walking distance of Academia and Uffizi and the shopping areas. Miki and Franco are lovely, gracious people who were quite helpful with directions and restaurant suggestions. We recommend this type of travel to those seeking more of a "locals" experience.

Perfect location and wonderful hosts

We were very pleased with our stay in this apartment. The apartment is within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do, and we were able to walk to the train station on arrival and departure (10 minutes). Because the apartment is very quiet, facing a courtyard and not the street, it was always a surprise to open the front door of this beautiful building and step out into the bustling center of Florence. The area around the apartment is packed with restaurants and there is a very small food shop (for yogurt, milk and the like). Larger grocery stores are farther away, but still within walking distance. The second full bathroom was a plus, as well. Finally, our hosts were charming. They gave us a thorough orientation to the apartment and the neighborhood when they handed over the keys. We did sneak a peak at the Prisco apartment, which used to be the main living area of this family's flat, and it is stunning, with high ceilings and beautiful details and a full kitchen. However, we preferred the quieter placement of Michaela at the end of the hall. One thing to note is that this is a spacious, comfortable apartment, but it is not a luxury hotel. Towels are line dried, which means a bit scratchy, and sheets aren't changed daily. But, this is what we were expecting and it suited us just fine.

Fabulous in Firenze!

From the moment we opened the front door to the apartment Michaela, we knew we weren't in California anymore! It oozes the European feel we wanted and the location was ideal! Two bathrooms were a treat as was the large bedroom and kitchen! A lovely respite after a busy day exploring an amazing city. I would recommend having some basics like plastic wrap, sugar and more garbage bags. Late at night and early in the morning the adjoining bakery could be quite noisy. Closing the windows helped but I think in warmer months this could be a problem. Despite those suggestions we loved our 6 days there and have already recommended it to friends! Favorite restaurant? Trattoria Casalinga in the Oltrarno but close by the apartment. Great value and a deliciously authentic experience!
