The location is great and the two main rooms have large windows and great light. Otherwise it’s a pretty basic flat with no added touches; the bathroom could use some TLC.

Walk to EVERYTHING. Clean and Comfy!

WOW! Florence is amazing and this was the perfect place to stay. We could walk to everything! Even the train station was within a mile. The host was responsive and the check in was extremely easy. The property was clean and spacious and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Excellent Florence Location

Paola's apartment is adorable, and has everything 2-3 people could need. Paola is quickly responsive to all communication. The location is easily walkable to all attractions, and if you don't feel like walking there's a bus stop right outside the door. Like other reviews mentioned, it's loud. But I can't imagine a spot in the center of Florence that isn't. Think of it as part of the charm. Also, make sure to eat at the Vietnamese restaurant downstairs. Amazing!

5 nights in Santa Croce

Excellent location. Very well equipped and clean. Communication with hosts was a little delayed, but it was not a problem. The checkin worked fine. Only minor issue was street noise. We like to sleep with open windows if we can, but in this case we had to give that up and close and latch the windows and turn on the well-working AC/fan. That worked well and shut out 90% of the street noise. Slept great.

Very noisy location (earplugs provided by host) & host didn’t advise of a new WhatsApp number leaving us stranded outside for 10 minutes until we’d emailed her to be let in on arrival. Wine offered in greeting manual however advised “the guest before drank it all”. Not a great start to our Florence leg of the trip. We did adore Florence and surrounding areas on our day trips though.

Amazing location - Amazing Host

Was our first time in Florence and this location filled all our needs. Steps away from amazing restaurants, grocery stores and all the big sites to see around Firenze. Host Paola made the check in experience super simple and the property was in great condition. A little noisy at nights due to being off a Main Street but did not bother the overall stay. Thanks Paola for the awesome stay!

Good place to stay

The apartment is about 20 minutes from Piazza de Republica. It's up one flight of Florentine stairs. It was bright, ckean and well appointed. On Saturday nights, the neighborhood is lively! The noise was not enough to keep us awake, but the host provides earplugs, so if youre a really light sleeper, he's got you covered.
