We couldn’t be happier with this apartment. It was across the Arno with a great view of the city. The host was so responsive with all of our needs. The apartment was cozy and we felt at home with our 6 day stay.
The location was great but the actual apartment, not so great. Bathrooms were super small. Especially the main floor bathroom and it had a leak from the shower onto the bathroom floor, the shower itself was rusty.
The main floor bedroom had a musty smell. It wasn’t somewhere I would stay again.

We had a nice stay here, I would love like the air conditioning to be a bit stronger in the master bedroom but other than that, we loved it!
Stairs to elevator with luggage an issue. Stirs to bedroom steep and dangerous. Layout odd. Bath up way small, shower horrible, no place to put toiletries, all around just bad. Ac didn’t work very well and it was hot. In general, Needs updating. Excellent location though.

Location and View
A few quirks to be expected due to age of building, but a fair trade off for the great location, view and cost. A/C much appreciated during the first week. Loved looking out the bedroom window at the beautiful view!
We loved the building and proximity to sites and dining. The VRBO was beautiful and spacious. However, hot water is not guaranteed in any of the VRBOs we stayed at in Italy. Get used to cold showers! I would definitely stay here again!

This apartment was huge! We were so surprised when we walked in. Great communication and even a check in as I had messaged saying we were on the way and then got distracted by the pretty sights and didn't show up as quickly as expected lol. Very quick responses with any questions we had. And it was lovely to have two separate bathrooms with showers.

Arno river view
The master bedroom was lovely best room in the apt. main floor very low ceilings and dark. A few small windows that overlooked a drab courtyard, beds on that floor very uncomfortable, need new mattresses. There are no screens on the windows, I could understand because the age of the bldg., left the window open at night to get air and got lots of mosquito bites. Need to make people aware. Kitchen needs more utensils, I like VRBO because I like having coffee and breakfast and a few other meals at the apt. It's not a convenient location but I knew that.

Great Location
We loved the location and the history of this property. However, the check-in was really screwed up (we ended up with a very last minute person who got the time wrong and who didn't know much). It would have been nice to have been left some coffee! There was no sheet of basic information like where there might be a grocery store, good restaurants, transportation options, how to use some of the appliances, etc. We did enjoy being on the Arno River and you could easily walk to the center of Florence.
Overall this was a good place to stay in Santa Croce. The bedroom is the highlight of the apartment with a lovely view and the sounds of the Arno. You have to go up a narrow staircase to get to the bedroom. The kitchen, dining room, and living room are smaller than they appear in the photos with low ceilings and not a lot of natural light so I spent all my time in the bedroom. It's an easy walk to the other areas and this is quieter than other areas which I appreciated. Things like towels to dry dishes were missing and there was a supermarket close by but those small things would have been nice to have. The hosts were helpful in booking me a taxi to the airport. I would stay here again.

Nice
Beware ! There is NO hand soap at this place, in either bathroom. We had to bring dish soap for the kitchen. You cannot call the owner or manager. They gave us a wrong number.
We came to Florence for our daughter’s wedding (our first time in Italy). We had quite an exhausting day of travel, delays, broken luggage, and more. From the start communication with Giusi was excellent. She was so kind to let us check in a little early (we were so appreciative). Valentina waited for us at the apartment and was so patient as we got lost trying to find it (our fault for being so unfamiliar and intimidated by the driving). The apartment is in a beautiful building, it’s got all the amenities you could need. It is so close to everything. The upstairs bedroom and its view from the window is breathtaking. Both Valentina and Giusi continued to be available when we had any questions. When another family member lost her accommodations after her plane was delayed, Giusi was kind enough to understand our need to let the family member stay with us. Having such a great place to stay, so close to everything made our time in Florence so wonderful. We would absolutely come back. Grazie Giusi!!

Fabulous Stay on the Arno!
My mother and I have just returned from our annual vacation in Florence and a fantastic two-week stay at this beautiful apartment. We've stayed at many wonderful places over the years and we both agree that this is the best.
The location is perfect and the major attractions are within walking distance. We appreciated the historic atmosphere of the apartment, part of a famous palazzo with a magnificent view on the Arno, beautiful terracotta flooring and beamed ceilings, furnished with tasteful antiques, and featuring a stunning frescoed ceiling in the master bedroom. Perfect for lovers of Tuscan art and architecture!
The apartment is extremely clean and well-maintained. Giusi, the owner, was always available by email and phone, and is wonderfully friendly, helpful, and professional.
My mother and I enjoyed dining in the many fine restaurants in the Santa Croce district: Del Fagioli, Maremma, and Torcicoda, just to name a few. The kitchen in the apartment is extremely well-equipped and we had many delicious meals at home as well.
We delighted in our visits to the Uffizi, the Accademia, Fiesole, churches, the markets, Hop On Hop Off city bus tours, and generally strolling about.
We would certainly recommend this apartment to friends and relatives; in fact, we already have! We plan to return here every Summer for our Firenze vacation and I've already made a booking for a week's stay in October.
Thank you, Giusi, for your excellent customer service and for providing such a wonderful rental opportunity for visitors to Florence.

Property is not well maintained or supplied.
We did not have the best interaction with the owner, the person who met us at the flat was very nice. Other reviews said she was great, maybe she was just having a bad day, we all do. But it is really the flat that we were most disappointed in. Just a few things that would have had to be better for a 5 star. There were only 2 FLAT pillows in the main bedroom. Searching, we did find 2 other odd sized pillows but without pillowcases so we didn't want to use them. The second bedroom didn't even have pillows for the 2 twin beds. (They weren't even going to show us the 2nd bedroom because there was only the 2 of us.) Just for clarification also, the stairs go up to the main bedroom and bath but they are very steep and narrow. It's an old building so maybe it is expected to have peeling plaster on the walls. The faucets in the upstairs bathroom are not working right. The shower faucet, I could never get to go to the hot water --maybe it was because the other shower was being used. The light fixture over the sink is falling off. I don't believe it is expected but most every other place I have stayed in has provided little bottles of shampoo, etc in case you forgot yours. There is not enough lighting especially in the living area. It was well stocked in the kitchen if you needed 45 full size plates and only 6 glasses!! It certainly doesn't matter but I am used to VRBOs having sets of dishes, not hodge podge. The utensils had plastic handles and a variety of them, but they didn't feel clean. The location was really pretty good but parking was public parking only and it was not easy to find. Although there is an elevator, there still are 14-16 steps before the level of the elevator so this is not handicap accessible if you are looking for that. I have stayed in a number of vacation rental homes, accessing this one compared to others, It's definitely not on my priority list.
Die Wohnung ist gut eingerichtet und man erreicht viele Sehenswürdigkeiten von dort. Der Weg vom Bahnhof ist etwas weiter, aber nicht weiter schlimm, da man vieles auf dem Weg sehen kann.
Zum 38. Florenz Marathon haben wir ein sauberes Objekt in alten Mauern, unweit des Piazza della Signoria, gesucht und hier gefunden. Die Lage mit Blick auf den Arno und eben die Nähe zur Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria (Start des Marathons), zur Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, zum Palazzo Pitti, zum Palazzo Medici Riccardi usw. ist optimal.
Check-in-Vorgang war sehr gut organisiert. Vom Airport aus bestand bereit Kontakt zum betreuenden Personal.
Der Check-out-Vorgang ging ebenso sehr unkompliziert.
Our stay could not have been nicer and in an excellent location right on the Arno. We were just a few minutes walk to the Uffizi Gallery and the Piazza della Signoria. My friend and I always felt safe, even walking at midnight. Giusi's apartment was clean and comfortable, with plenty of room for the two of us. I would love to stay here again!
Un bel appartamento in un palazzo sul Lungarno della Zeccha Vecchia. La vista dalla camera principale è magnifica e l'appartamento è arredato con tutte le comodità.
