Very well located property. Nothing extraordinary but everything was in the apartment and outside activities and bus and train station very close to us. The negative point is the miss communications between us and the guy who should open the appartment . We were oblige to wait about 1 hour after they told me he has somebody there already( but it was not true
The location was so wonderul - 2 blocks to the Duomo, a few blocks to see The David, a few blocks from the train station. The host was attentive and answered questions. Meeting us at the front door and leaving instructions. The flat was perfect for our family of 5. The kitchen was small - but the dining area and little terrace was so nice to sit back with a coffee. All-in-all, a fabulous stay.
Location location location. This location cannot be beat! Block away from Duomo and short walk from train station, you are located at the heart of shopping, dining, sites, and nightlife. This units interior facing balcony toward the nearby cupola allows for privacy and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the adjacent streets. The apartment is secure and includes all the basics. I would book again if I return to beautiful Florence.
The location is perfect for walking, tram & train station & all the museums. Our host could not have been any better in his communication with us & his response time for any questions. The stairs are a little challenging with luggage but other than that everything this is a comfortable, well equipped and clean apartment.
Wow I've stayed a many VRBOs but this was the worst.
1. Let's start off that the VRBO ad NEVER mentioned no elevators. If you plan to have luggage like most people do when they travel to Europe, get ready to carry it almost 3 levels of stairs.
2. The pictures of the apartment look different than the actual apartment. Walls were filthy, walls look scratched and needs a complete new paint job. The furniture if worn out and looks old.
3. The AC in the "master bedroom" barely worked and we had to sweat two nights until we slept in the living room.
4. The street is very loud and you hear EVERYTHING all day and morning.
5. The apartment was DIRTY, literally dust balls. Definitely was not clean. The host tell offer to have someone come clean but I didn't feel comfortable with anyone in the apartment with our things.
6. Bathrooms very outdated and are extremely tiny, especially the shower.
Would NOT recommend this VRBO to anyone.
We stayed in the property for 5 nights. It is in a pristine location in the heart of the city. The accommodations were great, air conditioning worked well. The host team was extremely responsive and checked in via text, but we didnt' really need them as all was well.
We had higher hopes for this rental but were ultimately disappointed. The apartment does not look like it was renovated in 2016, maybe 2006.
1. AC in one of the bedrooms didnât work right. The remote wouldnât connect to the unit so the temp or fan speed wouldnât go up or down. The filter was absolutely disgusting so maybe that is the issue.
2. One of the shower drains was clogged. Water was so slow to drain we had to turn the shower off every 30 seconds or so to drain out. We did tell them and they came to address both items the next day but neither were properly fixed. We told them again and they did try to come the next day but it was our last day and laundry was everywhere trying to prepare to leave so we asked them not to and weâd deal with it for our last night (we only stayed 3 nights).
3. I wiped surfaces down myself and wow, glad I did. The apartment was only clean to the eye. It needs a DEEP clean.
4. The master bedroom looks like it has mold/mildew on and by the AC unit. Not sure if it was addressed and not cleaned up but it needs cleaned up.
5. The mosquitos were bad IN the apartment. Assuming the windows/doors arenât sealed well but we killed several.
I will say the communication outside of VRBO was very good. They were always quick to reply and they were kind enough to let us drop our bags before check in which was much appreciated! Overall, I would not stay here again until things are addressed.
From start to finish this was the perfect place for us to call home in Firenze! Beds were comfortable and nice size. Bathrooms were smallish (but this is Europe) but showers spacious enough! Location is what makes this perfect place. Walk to anything and everything!!!
