About this property
Riverfront Florence Appartment Great quality/price Easy Parking out of ZTL zone
The Metro Station is at only 3 minutes walk from the apartment and the metro goes directly to the Santa Maria Novella train station in 7 minutes. Or if you choose to walk, it is only 15 to 20 minutes nice and easy walk along the Arno River with a stunning view of Florence.
There are metered parking spaces (about 12 euro for a day ticket; sunday free) in front of the building and the access to main highways are within 10 minutes drive.
I live nearby and available 24/7. Happy to offer recommandations on restaurants, museums, day trips or anything else to make your vacation unique.
Located by the Arno River (riverfront), this spacious apartment offers a wonderful view of 'Parco delle Cascine,' where most Florentines go every Tuesday for its open market featuring fresh fruits and flowers, local arts and crafts, among other beautiful things.
The apartment is at the first floor of an 1800's building. It's very tastefully decorated, fully-equipped, and all rooms are bright and sunny. It's very comfortable with two bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with two single beds), one full bath and one half bath, fully equipped kitchen with everything you will need to cook a delicious Tuscan meal, living room with sofa bed ( sleeps 6 people confortably) and dining room. A cot is available with no extra cost.
Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a friends and family special reunion, this apartment offers you an excellent value for money and quality.
This is for sure a very typical Florentine, non-touristy rush-rush area!! It is easy to see clothes ranging outside the buildings to dry, old ladies going to the local mart with their grocery baskets, and patient fishermen trying for luck by the Arno River during Sundays.

Loved staying "Oltrarno" for a more neighborhood experience. Still walkable to city center to see the sights. Location was easy to get to by city tram from Florence train station.
Riverfront location a pleasant 20mins walk to town. Equipped kitchen to enable self catering, lovely view of river and park. Cosy apartment-lovely and warm and good bedding. Unit needs a little TLC/maintenance-Some mould, peeling paint etc. Enjoyed our stay in Florence and quieter end of town.
Christina was a great host and very helpful.
Apartment is located near the Tramvia which gives you access to the Duomo and the historic area. Or you can walk it as well. We are a family of 5 and the place worked well. We would recommend booking here to enjoy all the beauty that Florence has to offer!
Apartment as described. Old, but cozy, next to Arno river. It accommodated 6 people fine. The 2 bathrooms were covenient for so many people. Easy to come and go to Firenzcentrale by tram. There was a problem with the hot water but ghe host arranged for a technician. immediately. Suggestions for improvement: the ventilator in the bathroom needs cleaning and the doors needed some lubricant to stop the noise.
This place is great for Families of 4 -5. For many reasons.
The owner is wonderful, she waited for us to arrive and walked us through the house and what to expect. She is very organized and is available if there are any issues.
Each kid had their own bed and really loved having two available toliets. This is needed with large families. We also loved have AC available at night - we happened to be there during a hear wave.
The location is amazing- Grociery store less than 3 minutes, the metro 4 minutes, 25 minute walk to Ponte Vecchico. Very easy walk and straight you can't get lost. Also we found many restaurants near by (great Pizza place 3 minutes, many restaurants with really good food and much cheaper than in the center. One place we recommend is the Trattoria Dell Orto. The food was amazing and cheap. One of the best places we ate at in Italy. Our family would stay at Christinas again. Thank you for having us.
An easy walk to the grocery store and other amenities. Easily accessible to to transit as well. The kids loved watching the river out the front window.
The apartment was very clean and welcoming. Christina was helpful in answering questions. We loved that the Tram station was close by and we used it often.
What a wonderful stay we had! This home is well equipped, clean, spacious and the location can't be beat! Owners are easy to communicate with and responsive. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay. We were so close to everything, the sights, museums, shopping. It was so convenient. We walked everywhere, even with a 1 year-old! We should have stayed longer!
The apartment was as advertised. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms was convenient. Christina was very helpful and met us there. Location is on the river and a fairly short tram ride from main attractions. Good restaurants nearby.
Check was easy. Host, Christina,sent a video of property. Communication was always very quick. We were very late due to train strike & they were very understanding!! There were plenty of towels, everything was provided. It was only a 4 minute walk to tram
Ein schönes, gemütliches Apartment direkt am Arno gelegen. Wir haben Florenz von hier aus zu Fuß erkundet. Unsere Vermieterin war gut erreichbar und hat uns Tipps gegeben. Bushaltestellen und Supermarkt sind in der Nähe.
Nous avons été parfaitement accueilli L’appartement est conforme au description Bien situé à 15min du centre ville et 5min du tramway Propre, bien équipé, literie confortable Le seul petit bémol est la nuisance sonore dû au simple vitrageSinon tout était parfait
Für uns hat es perfekt gepasst. Gute Lage, man ist fix zu Fuß im Zentrum und mit kurzem Fußweg an der Straßenbahn. Supermarkt sehr nah. Hübsche Wohnung mit zwei Bädern. Sehr nette, erreichbare Vermieter.
Appartement situé non loin du centre historique, bien desservi par la tram. Fonctionnel et agréable, propre et confortable.

Accueil et propreté
Accueil décevant par une personne ne parlant pas un mot d'anglais et pressée de partir (notre train avait un 1/4 heure de retard).
Propreté plus que limite, hotte aspirante pleine de graisse et poussière. Micro ondes à la limite du danger (trop sale) risque d'étincelles.
Vaisselle à relaver avant utilisation.
Pourquoi paie-t-on un supplément pour nettoyage ?
Sinon emplacement correct pour accès Tramway.

Si potrebbe migliorare
Mezzoretta a piedi per andare in centro, ma costeggiando l'Arno è anche piacevole.
Alcune cose potevano essere pulite o pulite meglio, per esempio gli elettrodomestici ( il microonde, l'aspiratore del gas e della cucina) le stoviglie abbiamo dovuto rilavarle. I letti sono piccoli, sono di altezza 180cm dovevo stare con le gambe molto piegate.

Clean and enjoyable with a view of the river
The owner was very helpful in arrangements for check-in, and the view of the river is quite pleasant after a long day in the city. It is not difficult to get around from here by bus, tram, and taxi. But it is a little ways from the bustle of piazzas and tourist attractions.
Two bathrooms are a perk for a unit this size and the three of us had plenty of space. However, the beds are just as firm as mentioned in previous comments and quite old. There is street noise, but in Florence I'm not sure you can get away from that. There were also a few kitchen items to be desired, but overall we enjoyed our stay, made use of the washer, and had plenty of towels and blankets. I would recommend this cute flat.
