Wonderful time at Sofia's place

The location was great close to everything. It was very clean and our family enjoyed it. The apartment is very well layed out & the kitchen is very well equipped. Save some energy at the end of the day for the stairs.

Great stay

We enjoyed our stay at Under the Roof of Sofia. Very convenient to the sites of Florence as well as the train station. The place was very clean and comfortable. Was on the third floor with no elevator, so may be an issue for some. Would stay there again.

A beautiful comfortable and convenient place!

I have to say this apartment was even prettier and roomier than the photos! Beware it is on the fourth floor but the hosts carried my bag up for me which was very kind! The apartment had everything I needed and was super convenient to the sights and the train station! Restaurants close by were plentiful as well as shopping of all kinds.I really enjoyed my stay under the roof of Sofia!

Short stay in Florence

Super fun, quirky apartment in a quiet building not far from the train station. The duomo is a short walk away and the neighborhood has lots of restaurants. Host is very thoughtful and the communication is great. Be advised there is no elevator, which is very common.

Great Location

We couldn’t have asked for a better location and place to tour from. Literally 5 minutes walk but worlds away from the train station, and plenty of coffee shops, groceries and restaurants within a couple blocks. We were able to easily walk to all attractions and beat the crowds daily. Recommend the Crown of India restaurant right on the street. Communication with the VRBO host was prompt and friendly. We had no problems.

Stay here!

This was our favourite property we stayed on our Italy adventure! Sofia ( host) was amazing! A booklet printed out to go over house rules, restaurants etc was so helpful! Space was clean, spacious and perfectly located! Easy to get to train station, walking distance to everywhere. Would absolutely recommend staying here, and we would love to return one day! Thank you Sofia!!
