Super helpful and communication is great
We really appreciate how helpful the customer service was and how well they communicated. We did have an issue with arrival since there are two #18’s on the street. They answered our call at midnight and helped. The building elevator was broken which was a bummer but they really go out of their way to make sure we had a good time. The location was great!

Issues with Comfort, Infrastructure, and Cleanline
The location is great. But the building has no infrastructure at all, with a tiny elevator that either fits the luggage or one person.
The apartment was very dusty, and I had allergic rhinitis during the entire stay.
The shower would get cold during use, and unfortunately, our water heater stopped working. Communication was difficult, and we had to be moved to another room.
In the new room, the same issue happened — the shower would get cold halfway through, and the room was not well cleaned.
The shower leaked water all over the bathroom floor, and there was a bad smell coming from the drain and toilet.
The heating system didn’t work.
The apartment didn’t smell clean, and neither did the bed linens.

Great place to stay!
The flat was very comfortable and in a great location—close to everything we needed. Communication with the host was easy, and our requests for extra towels and hangers were quickly taken care of. The bathroom was a bit small but met our needs. We did notice the kitchen faucet was loose and there was duct tape on the rain shower head, but overall, we had a pleasant stay and would book again.
An amazing apartment. Right in the middle of everything. Rooms were spacious and beautiful. We loved out visit. Wish there was an English speaking channel on tv. Will be back for sure!
Bobs place was an absolute dream- coming from Los Angeles we didn’t know what to expect as pictures sometimes exaggerate- but this apt was perfect, charming, romantic, and efficient in a travel partner. Church bells in the morning! Thanks again.
Bob is obsessive about achieving a 5 star rating,.it shows. My booking was everything I could have hoped for. Solid shower, great communication, great location, good price, etc.
10 out of 10. Will book again if I visit a location where he has lodgings.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The area was really wonderful, the staff at the hotel were very nice, however the room we stayed was not so great, the toilet was loose and leaking, the room next door had plumbing issues and the smell was bad , we reported it but nothing was done. The price for this hotel was high and not in par with the facilities, definitely not staying again in this hotel.
We visited our daughter who is studying abroad. This was a great location just minutes from the Ponte Vecchio bridge. We walked everywhere. The staff were extremely helpful and responsive. Any time of day they responded to a text message within minutes!! Would highly recommend staying here!!
My family and I loved this property. Is very well located near Ponte Vecchio and from there is walkable to all main attractions in the city. The apartment is really nice and they provided welcome gift with teas. Communication was excellent and prompt. Excellence choice to stay in Florence, highly recommended!.
Nicely located and easy access to main area of Florence. The only things I didn’t like were it was very noisy at night. Windows don’t absorb noise and it smelled a little like sewer in the washroom area, but parts of Florence smelled like sewer water.
What a cozy apartment! My sister and I had an amazing time and really enjoyed our stay. We used the kitchen to make some delicious Italian meals. The furniture was comfy and our hosts were very responsive. The vintage elevator worked well to get us down 5 flights of stairs. The only negative was a musty smell in the bathroom, they had an ion air cleaner to refresh the air. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we would come again!
What a fabulous apartment in a fabulous location. The touches in the apartment are gorgeous and really thoughtful. Bob W is a brilliant concept and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Well positioned next to the Ponte Vecchio, and easily walkable to the Duomo, Uffizzi, Pitti Palace etc. A few minor glitches, but response time on WhatsApp, and in person where needed, was incredibly quick. A good location, pleasant flat, excellent service
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect and the place itself was nice, clean and spacious. If I come back to Florence, I will definitely stay here again.
The property is centrally located to some of the most historic sites in Florence like the Ponte Vecchio and Piazza Signoria. Had a few small hiccups like a malfunctioning front gate, but overall I would recommend staying here.
