Positives:
-Welcomed by Bitte's parents. Very nice people who provided a good service and advice.
-Nice flat, stylish, renovated, and very clean!
-No lies in the description of facilities, all information provided in trip advisor was very accurate (We just have a slightly different opinion on the quietness issue shown below in 'negatives').
Negatives:
-If you need to open the windows for any reason, eg fresh air, or too hot, etc you must be prepared for a noise from the nearby streets' traffic. People who pay attention to quietness must have this in mind...
-A very disappointing and unexpected negative was an annoying (poop like) smell that existed in the main bedroom were I slept. This made the stay in the room, especially in the sleeping time at night, a very unpleasant experience. Reported this to the owners who promised to look at the issue and take care of it....
Conclusion:
I would recommend the flat but only provided that the very bad smell issue is permanently solved.
Wonderful hosts. Great location, near shopping, markets, grocery. Short walk to the river for morning or evening strolls. It has everything you could possibly need in kitchen, bedrooms and bath. Terrific hosts. Molto simpatico. Very comfortable.
Would definitely recommend .
This apartment is wonderful in all respects. The hosts were absolutely charming and helpful. However, the only issue is there was only one room (bedroom on the top floor) which had air-conditioning. We visited in August, so this was an issue for us (I did not read the fine print).
There is a bus stop downstairs which takes you to city center. Gelato shop, breakfast place, a McDonalds are all within a block. The only other convenience issue is that the grocery store is 15 minute walk, so that can be an issue. There is some street parking if you are driving in. During holiday season, when the Italians aren't in town, we had no problem finding free parking on the street.
We had a nice stay in Florence, the apartment is absolutely OK - but some mending would be like an upgrade to the rooms (e.g. working mosquito grids, working window to open in the bedroom, dry walls in the childrens' cupboard).
We got lots of soft towels, nice duvet covers - and the kitchen allows real cooking ... you can feel nearly like home after a long day walking in this great city!

My wife, son, and I had a wonderful stay at this spacious apartment. Everything was clean, well kept, and in working order. The owners were very accommodating meeting us. They gave us a map and great tips. Bus stop around the corner.

This is a fully equipped, spacious and bright apartment which was cleaned to perfection! The hosts, Yvonne and Antonio were very helpful in answering any questions, while they made us feel very welcome- thanks! The apartment can accommodate 4 people and there is even a small terrace on the top floor :-) The area is quiet but there are a few shops around to grab a coffee or a drink.. It is about 25 minutes walk to the city centre but you can also catch the local bus around the corner..
I would highly recommend this apartment- we had a wonderful time...
