Perfect Heart of Florence-Super Upscale Location-Roomy-Washer-Elevator

FLORENCE ITALY PERFECT PRISCO APARTMENT

The Prisco apartment is located half a block off fashionable Via Tornabuoni near Palazzo Strozzi. It is on the third floor of a building with an elevator. Restaurants, shops abound in this neighborhood. The apartment is extremely spacious, 85 square meters/900 square feet.

PLEASE NOTE: Check in is from 5pm-7pm, by appointment. NO CHECK IN AFTER 7pm, sorry no exceptions.

The morning sun illuminates the living room and kitchen area. Enjoy the comfort and convenience of an open plan living room and kitchen area.

Throw open the large living room, bedroom & kitchen windows and enjoy the lively scene below. The apartment features many original Italian antiques, yet the living room maintains a casual feel with a modern Italian sofa that opens to become a comfortable bed.

In the morning zip down to the bakery that is next door to the apartment building and pick out your morning bread and pastries. At night, enjoy a glass of wine and relax a bit before you head out to one of the many excellent neighborhood restaurants.

The kitchen has a gas range with grill, a large oven, lots of cabinet and countertop space, dishwasher, and a large refrigerator with freezer, pots, pans, dishes.

The spacious bedroom has high ceilings, a romantic draped bed and a chaise longue-style single bed for one. A pretty hand-painted armoire and an antique dresser provide ample clothing storage space. ! We like to advise guests that since this apartment is in the popular historic center, there can be street noise at night from pedestrians (not cars) down below who are strolling by after a meal at one of the many nearby restaurants, however the bedroom window has a very effective sound-dampening panel.

Things To Note

There is a queen bed and a small single bed in the bedroom. The small single bed is suitable for a child.

8 steps to the elevator.

Double glazed bedroom windows help reduce pedestrian noise, light sleepers take note of lively neighborhood.

Spacious one bedroom, great location, but check to fine print.

This was a wonderful one bedroom apartment located in a perfect part of Florence. Close to everything the apartment is very spacious. Incredibly large bedroom. Comfortable living space and very nice kitchen and bathroom, the owners, Marco and Mikki are very responsive. There is a great bakery and restaurant just two doors down from the property. The only issue I have is that in addition to what you will pay for rent. You also have to pay additional electricity for the space. Which is mentioned in the fine print. So you need to read, everything about this property carefully. It wouldn’t be an issue in the winter, spring or fall. But, in the summer when air conditioning is needed you might pay between $100 and $200 extra euros for a weekly stay. Other than that, the property is exceptional.

We loved our stay in Florence at Prisco. Franco and Mikki were wonderful hosts. They were very helpful with the check in process and explaining the workings of the apartment and gave us very helpful recommendations for the city and neighborhood. They were very responsive when we had an issue with our key. The apartment is in the perfect location and is an easy walk to EVERYTHING! The apartment is very well appointed and very comfortable. We highly recommend the Prisco apartment!

Prisco is great place in great location

Advert is quite accurate in all counts and even understates how this large apt. is in a great location for sights and events, with excellent restaurants and stores and the "Rodeo Drive" of Florence 1/4 block away; bring earplugs for sleeping because of area popularity; owners Miki and Franco are such nice and helpful people; I will definitely stay at Prisco again when I return to Florence

Spacious, well stocked, modernized with old-world, Italian charm

We were so pleased with the Prisco apartment and our hosts, Miki & Franco. Everything was within a 10 minute walk: restaurants, public transportation, tourist sites, upscale shopping, pharmacies..everything you can wish for. Our hosts took the time to show us how everything worked in the apartment and where all the favorite places were on a map of the area. The kitchen was well equipped so it was easy to make a few authentic homemade Italian dinners with the fresh ingredients I found at the local market. We felt very safe and comfortable.

Location, Space, Comfort

Location couldn't be better (close to transport, churches, galleries, food, markets). Space to move around (3 adults for a while ... no one in anyone's pocket; well furnished for minor entertaining [we had friends from Rome, London, Portugal, and Cape Town for coffee and chat]/ but minor problems with kitchen furnishings). Comfortable for we two (lift for us over 70s helped); short stay by son in living room, however, proved there should have been more than "advice" about noise; public amenities (restaurants, etc.) as described by other reviewers were a decided plus as were the charming "greeters". Somewhat over-managed, with Italy Perfect deciding not the check time zones before an unsolicited call after initial booking and the apparent plethora of requirements including another interface, in addition to VRBO, demanding attention with little in return for the time. I guess it's hard dealing with properties from abroad and proximate simultaneously. Light, sunny, airy, and central, the flat was for 14 days over Easter, a real gem. Personally, however, we would not deal with the over-management again. Our thanks to the "greeters" for their generosity of spirit.

Holidays at Prisco, Michaela and Strozzi

My family and I spent most of December through early January at the Strozzi, Prisco and Michaela apartments. The accommodations were perfect for 3 couples with both privacy within each unit and the ability to be together in the larger Strozzi unit for meals and Christmas dinner. The units are located on a very busy street, close to every type of restaurant and shop the city offers. And, it is all just steps from Piazza della Repubblica, and a couple blocks more from there to the Duomo. The owners were attentive and accommodating - bringing us extra dining chairs for the 6 of us to share meals together in the large and well appointed kitchen in Prisco; gifting us with a Panettone at Christmas and offering many suggestions for restaurants and shopping. As we travel to Florence frequently, we found the location to be a centralized hub for walking throughout the city.

Perfect Florence Apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Prisco. The location is perfect! Close to the train station, easy walk to all the sights, in the middle of outstanding restaurants and shopping. The apartment is very well equipped for anything you might need. The bedroom is very spacious and quiet as long as you close up everything. The bathroom is extremely spacious. Miki and Franco explained everything thoroughly. They were always available for anything that might come up. We hope to stay at Prisco next time we come to Florence. The apartment is spacious and very lovely. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We already miss it!

We loved Priscilla 3!

Everything went very well with our VRBO Priscilla 3 in Florence! We loved it! Franko and Mimi greeted us upon arrival and went over everything with us. They even allowed us to check in early as when we arrived, we were exhausted and it was pouring rain! We took a taxi from the train station and it brought us right to the front door! The elevator helped tremendously because we had large bags for our 3 week trip. The apartment is in the middle of great shopping, eating and touring spots and we will certainly come back here again. Thank you for a wonderful visit to Florence!

Simply awesome!

This apartment is exactly as advertised. It is large and comfortable and convenient to many things. There is a grocery store about a block away, an ATM across the street, a bakery a few doors down and a travel agency across the street in case you need any help. We had them book our train tickets so we didn't have to buy them at the station. It was an easy walk to the station. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Florence.

Wonderful!

The apartment was just as pictured. It is spacious and charming with beautiful antique detail, while the bathroom is updated and comfortable. The location is perfect. A lovely shopping street, terrific restaurants nearby, and as it is central Florence, it is easy to walk everywhere. We walked from the train station -- maybe ten minutes? Although it is a busy street, and one could hear street noise in the living room, the sealed windows in the bedroom made it silent. We slept very soundly on the comfortable bed. The elevator makes it easy to bring luggage and heavy shopping upstairs, but the stairs are wide, well lit and easily negotiated. The hosts who greeted us were incredibly kind and helpful. One of our nicest visits ever to Florence.

Beautiful Apartmement in wonderful location.

Greeted by the delightful owners who explained everything about the apartment in detail and gave us excellent dining recommendations. We stayed in three different apartments in Italy and this was the only one totally air conditioned. For us this made a huge difference. The greatest downside was the noise at night trying to sleep in the living room.

Historic, Inviting and Conveniently Located!

Franco and Miki are gracious hosts! Franco offered a detailed orientation to the apartments' amenities ... AC, TV, hot water, laundry room, elevator and even a short walk to locate the local delicious take-out and grocery markets. The quarters are part of Miki's original family home and The Prisco has period windows, floors, accents and furniture. The kitchen is very well equipped! Pay close attention to Franco when he explains how to secure both balcony doors as well as the bedroom door to soundproof the very large bedroom as it works perfectly for a great night's sleep in the city center! Also, I really appreciated the meticulous cleanliness of the rental. Lastly, Franco arranged for a taxi on the morning of our departure. His and Miki's kindness are exemplary.
