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.

Perfect location to enjoy Florence. Step into the history and all that Florence has to offer the moment you step outside the beautiful wooden doors. Convenient to all of the must sees. Enjoyed stopping in the apartment throughout the day and the ease of being near cafes, restaurants and shopping! Fabulous!!

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!

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.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at the Time Machine! Everything was seamless with our experience. The location was ideal, the space was perfect for my family of four, and the amenities were very charming. It was a great place to retreat to after full days of exploring Florence.

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

We had a great stay at the Time Machine, where you enter through palace doors! The place was really cool. The furnishings are a bit older and worn, but how much time are you spending in the place when Piazza della Signoria is right outside your door? Better to hang out at one of the restaurants or bars on the square and look out onto the Fountain of Neptune, David replica, or the Palazzo Vecchio! Such a cool place! Definitely recommend!

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.
