Great location
This rental is in a great location. A neighborhood away from the big crowds. The place has very limited kitchen space and no outdoor space due to machines being on the balcony. But the place is comfortable and works great for a Florence stay.

Great place
We loved the location...you can use public transportation or just walk to the city center in 10 minutes. We stayed a month and went to various close Tuscan towns...like Lucca, Siena, Pisa and Bologna...right from the central train station SMN Would stay again and recommend.

Everything Us Falling Apart
Yes I know all the reviews are great, the price was good and in a great location. That’s why I booked it for a whoke month well in advance. In short, this apartment needs love and attention. I can’t bear going into a blow by blow of all the things that were broken or not functioning: Moldy, leaking shower, broken lights, loose electric socket, tired and dirty looking bath mat, broken toilet. See for yourself. I took extensive photos which I will send to VRBO, showing the condition of the apartment upon arrival, and why I had to call my own cleaning crew. Owner defensive and angry when I pointed these things out. This apartment may have been loved for a long time but is clearly being neglected now.
