Excellent Base
The apartment is in a great location, being south of the Arno and away from the crowds. It is, however, within easy walking distance of all the major “sights” of Florence.There is a “fruit and veg” shop next door and a bottega and trattoria directly opposite. It is a few minutes walk from the south side of Piazza Santo Spirito. Two superb gelateria are also only a couple of minutes walk away. The local area has a wide range of individual shops.The apartment was very comfortable with plenty of storage space. There is nowhere to sit outside, but the Piazza S.S. is a couple of minutes walk away, with seats and cafes.

Nice place
Liked it very much. The kitchen, etc., seemed badly neglected, although functional. If the host could put a little more effort into lighting, cutlery, basic cooking items, the apartment would take a leap forward. But, I must say, I liked the apartment nevertheless.

Just Fantastic!
My wife and I stayed 4 nights. The apt itself is great, and the location is just perfect. We ate most of our meals within a few blocks and were never disappointed. Between the gelato shop 100m to the right, and everything in santo spirito square, we could have spent the entire trip in tbe neighborhood!

If I could give more than 5 stars for location...
I absolutely loved the property. Graziano was very gracious and accommodating. If I could give more than 5 stars for the location I would. On this side of the Arno it is just a bit more quiet and very slightly less touristy. However was very easy to walk into all the attractions in town. If you stay longer than a few days its fun to explore on the bus system. 12 will take you to Piazzale Michelangelo however stop off first at the bottom of St Stephens and walk up to that. I went for the museums (twice at the Uffizi and Academia) food (tried several local restaurance) and Ambiance (walked an average of 4-5 miles per day. Loved every minute of our stay of 10 days. Apartment is plenty comfortable for 2 or even 3 . Kitchen is functional for lite meals. Shower hot. Everything was clean. I also liked the art and decor which created a charming home like atmosphere. Loved it.

Highly recommended and would stay again
First and foremost Graziano, the host, was incredibly accommodating about us arriving outside the check-in window and went above and beyond to meet us that night as well as provide resources for us during our stay. The property is very charming and the location cannot be beat. You are within walking distance of everything you could want to see. If we return to Florence we will definitely be looking to stay here again. 10/10. Thanks Graziano!

In the hub of activity
I loved this location on the less touristed side of the Arno but in walking distance to everything. The apartment has simple and effective furnishings. I didn’t cook because food is literally outside my door. The host provided me with a map of local places to eat, drink, and buy groceries. The Santo Spirito Piazza is a 5 minute walk away with many choices for a sit down meal.

Sehr gemütliche und gut ausgestattete Wohnung
Der nette Kontakt sowie der persönliche Empfang und die Einweisung mit etlichen Tipps durch Graziano hat gleich für einen guten Start in unsere Urlaubswoche gesorgt. Die Wohnung war wegen der zentralen Lage mit etlichen Sehenswürdigkeiten in Laufweite perfekt für unsere Sightseeing-Touren. An Ausstattung war alles da, was man braucht. Die Betten waren sehr bequem, die Dusche hatte ordentlich Wasserdruck und die Klimaanlage lief auch gut (was bei über 30° auch notwendig war).

De verhuurder was vreselijk
De accommodatie was erg gedateerd en stonk altijd toen je binnen kwam, een hele duffe lucht. Dit was heel storend tijdens het hele verblijf. De verhuurder kon amper Engels en best onduidelijk. Met het uitchecken waren we aan het wachten op hem en op een gegeven moment appte de verhuurder dat hij niet meer kwam en we de sleutels maar achter moesten laten. Verder was sommige vaat nog niet schoon. We vonden een glas met lippenstift er op bijvoorbeeld. Na ons vertrek kwamen we er achter dat we een vest waren vergeten. We namen contact met de verhuurder op en vertelde dat we het vest vergeten waren. Verder zeiden wij dat we in staat waren om zelf extra geld te betalen buiten de verzendkosten om voor zijn moeite. Wij kregen een antwoord terug dat die architect was en dat zijn tijd kostbaar is. Dit antwoord vonden wij erg apart. Hierna vroegen wij het nog een keer als die het voor nog meer extra geld wilde doen, maar nee hoor. Geen antwoord gekregen en geblokkeerd op Whatsapp. Toen liet ik mijn vriend appen maar de verhuurder blokkeerde hem ook meteen. De verhuurder was dus echt niet vriendelijk.
