Great location beautiful rental
We were a group of 7, all adults this location was great. 10 to 15 walk to almost everything. The rental was great, and beautiful. This may have been my fault but we had an elderly person with us and it was a little hard for her to use the stairs, but we made it work. Both bedrooms are up on top of 3 floors. Middle flóor was the loft which had a sofa bed. Overall I thought the vrbo was great. Thank you

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!!!

1st impression. This apartment is on the top floor and the elevator is a 2person max that is very finicky. So if you are a family, like we were, with luggage for everyone it is a very challenging process as you will have to stack some luggage and only one person will fit. Inside the apartment, it is a 2 bedroom with an open loft. The 2 bedrooms each have their own en-suite bathroom but they are all very small. Like cruise ship small. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other has 2 twin beds. The open loft has a sofa bed but you will either have to go downstairs or upstairs into a bedroom to use a bathroom. The living area is very spacious. Kitchen has a lot to be desired but honestly how much are you using that anyway. It has a dorm room style fridge but can easily hold some drinks if needed
Now onto the location. This place is in a magnificent location and that trumps everything else in my mind. I would 100% stay here again because of that. I would definitely recommend unless you have someone that can’t really deal with stairs as the elevator to get up to the floor is tricky and the stairs inside the apartment are plentiful and very steep and tight.

Amazing location and lots of steps!
The apartment is exactly as pictured - great space for a family or large group. We used the kitchen every morning for breakfast and sat around the table every evening sharing stories and playing games. The location is amazing - you can walk to anything from the apartment within 15 minutes (the train station, every major attraction and great shopping). Be aware, that if you have anyone who is not super mobile, there IS an elevator to the apartment, but within the apartment itself all of the bedrooms require very steep stairs. We would stay there again - super quiet, very clean and fantastic location.

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.

Great location, lots of stairs
This rustic Italian apartment is located in a fantastic area in the heart of Florence. The host was helpful by phone when we arrived early in allowing us to store our luggage at the apartment while it was being cleaned. He also allowed us to leave the luggage a couple hours later at the end of our stay since we had a later flight. Please know that there are many stairs in the apartment. You have to climb two flights of narrow winding stairs inside the apartment to get to the two bedrooms. There is a loft on the middle “floor”. I would not recommend it for families with young children or elderly people. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but we wanted to make sure that people understood the property. We loved the location. Very close to everything.

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.

Lots of stairs. Great location
The location is great to walk to anything in Florence. The street is quiet and safe. We stayed here for 5 days over thanksgiving break.
We messaged to share/get check in details a week prior to our arrival based on other reviews and they did not respond. The locks and check in are automated and I had to call them when we arrived 15 minutes prior to the electronic locks being activated. They were able to do this remotely.
I wish they had any information about the climate control posted in the apartment. The heater clanged for an hour and a half one night before we finally figured out that the dial had inadvertently been left on and we think the temp dropped enough in the night to trigger it. We would have contacted the host during our stay but we fixed the issue ourselves.
Plan to have your coffee on the way out in the many cafes nearby.
It would be helpful to provide nearby grocery stores or recommendations as the kitchen only has basic necessities.
The decor in the was really stunning and the bedrooms layout was very private except the loft bed above the living area. The wine bar across the street was super friendly and recommended some great bottles.

Deceiving Apartment
This apartment is not in livable condition especially with kids - unacceptable conditions, extremely hot and not suitable for small children.
We left the apartment soon after checking in and book a hotel spending a lot of extra money but worth it.
Please see below a list with things that we consider unsafe and not acceptable:
• the multi stairs with unsafe handrail
• the excessive heat inside with 2 small AC units that were barely working. Inside the apartment it was so hot we were sweating constantly doing nothing just seating on the living room couch.
• the bathrooms are dirty and the floors were filthy.
• the kitchen looks and smells like a barn with the fridge acting weird.
• unsafe extension cords in the kitchen (especially for kids )
• the list is longer but I stop here
Pictures are deceiving and price quality is not there at all!

Florence with family!
Our family really enjoyed this apartment! There are 3 levels, with the loft and bedrooms at the top which we didn’t fully realize when booking, but it made for a lot of extra space. The extra large living area downstairs, high ceilings and 3 bathrooms were great. With a lot of original character, the apartment still felt new and clean. We would definitely stay again.

It was a nice stay.
No surprises here. Between the owner's description and the other reviews, this property was exactly as expected. Some of us from suburban America are not accustomed to such accommodations. A sense of adventure, good mobility and packing light are helpful when staying in an apartment building that is much older than your hometown.
Yes, there are lots of stairs. Yes, the showers are small and the water temperature was all over the place. But the apartment was clean and well taken care of. The location is convenient and safe while also being away from the tourist crowds. The owner responded quickly to a couple of issues. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay.

Wonderful Apartment with the Best Location
Our stay in Frienza was made wonderful by this awesome property. It is beautiful in every way. It is in a building built in the 1600s with incredible architecture and views. It is close to the river, the il Duomo, restaurants and shopping. Incredible place. The apartment is managed well and Gaia and Pietro were very responsive to any of our needs. For example, when we checked in, 2 of the canned lights in the ceiling were burnt out, not a big deal, but still made the dining room a bit dark. Gaia had the repair man there the next morning to replace the lights (that was great, Thank you!). We loved the apartment, the feel, and the closeness to the city of Florence. Being in a historic building, that is completely upgraded only added to our experience. Grazie Mille, Ciao!

Charming Property
Excellent proximity to major museums, churches, shops and restaurants. You are no more than a 20 minute walk to anything of significance. The apartment is located in a building constructed around 1600 (late Renaissance era) and it truly gives the visitor an old-world flavor of what it must have been like to live in Firenze during its golden age. You will have no trouble getting around by foot. As described, there are about two sets of stairs that you need to navigate in order to get to the upper bedrooms once you enter the main floor of the apartment. The stairs are very narrow, so it can be a challenge to negotiate the steps with suitcases in hand; you might find it easier to leave your large pieces of luggage in the main floor and transfer, bathroom, sleep necessities and the next day's change of clothes to the upper bedrooms.
We very much enjoyed our stay!

Heart of Florence!
This apartment was well-suited for our family as it had separate beds for our boys and three separate bathrooms. Note there are two actual bedrooms - the third room is on a mezzanine overlooking the living room with a pull out couch. As noted on other reviews there a lot of stairs - to get to the apartment and again to get to the bedrooms. This place is not good for someone with bad knees. Location couldn’t be beat - right in the heart of the old town with restaurants and cafes around every corner. It is not luxurious- but it had everything we needed for an amazing stay.
