Great location

Delightful charming apt close to major sights but far enough away for some quiet at night. Close to cafes and on the same block as a grocery. Easy to get to taxi stand in Santa Croce square for airport/train station transport

Great central location

My wife and I stopped here for a few nights between Paris and the Amalfi Coast. The apartment was exactly as described. Loved the rooftop terrace. Being able to do some laundry was a huge plus. Restaurant below the place had some solid pizza. Noise levels were very low at night. Would stay again

An well located apartment with a traditional decor

We stayed for 3 nights in early November and the apartment was charming and very well located. The beds are comfortable and I particularly like the decor, beautiful old traditional furnitures and the wooden beams on the ceiling. We have all that we need in the apartment.

This place was beyond our expectation. It was perfect! The view from the terrace was spectacular and we were even able to see fireworks from it. Everything was absolutely perfect and by far our favorite stay in all of Italy.

Comfy place with great location

Miralba's place provided a very comfortable, cozy place in a great location. You really do feel like you're staying a friend's house here. The rooms feel "real" not designer-chosen and you are within easy walking distance of all the greatest hits of Florence and eating and drinking establishments too numerous to count. Would stay here again. How cool to sleep across the street from the final resting places of Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli!

Florence charm

A great little home away from home full of charm and character. Comfy beds and bath (yay, though on smaller size) large queen sofa so comfortably fit 4 people (2 adults, 2 kids). Host was very responsive, as we had a couple of issues which were resolved in timely manner. Would recommend.

Home from home in a fantastic location

This was a perfect place to stay. Our host was extremely responsive to messages we sent her and was very helpful in accommodating our check-in needs. There were loads of kitchen utensils etc. for self-catering and having a dishwasher and washing machine was a bonus! The apartment was much more spacious than we expected and was tastefully and authentically furnished. The location was excellent; the apartment was a short walking distance to all the main attractions the minute you walked out the door. Highly recommend this place!
