“Stunning apartment and perfect host.” Extremely clean and beautifully appointed flat was perfectly situated to see the sights and visit the markets of Florence. The kitchen has every amenity and all appliances are new and top of the line. No need to scrub the pots before you cook here. The supermarket on the street and the market just around the corner provided us with the fresh ingredients for the best meals. There is even a toaster and a drip coffee maker if you prefer a non-Italian breakfast. Good restaurants and coffee shops in the area. The map and directions provided by our host got us on the right track quickly to see the sights. The neighbourhood is safe for an evening walk for a gelati or espresso. The bed was extremely comfortable with extra linens and towels provided. The heat in the flat was adjustable so that the rooms were always the right temperature. The best flat we have ever stayed in when on vacation.

“Great Apt” This apartment was almost perfect. I'll get it out of the way and say the shower was very tight, i'm 5'6" 156lb and it felt cramped. But I dont there is anything that can be done about this so its just something you live with. The apt itself was spacious, it has a washer, close to city center, comfortable and included a bottle of water and coca cola. We only slept in one of the rooms and felt it satisfied all needs. The apt stayed cool and we never had to run the a/c just the fan at night. This is a very cute apt. We also didnt use the bikes, but thought about it and decided to walk since we were mainly shopping and taking tours during our time in Florence. The location is just outside the main center on a quiet street. It takes maybe 4-6min to walk to Duomo area, 25min to walk to train station. I would not recommend walking to train if you have luggage, the sidewalks and roads makes it a long 25min. Gianluca was very pleasant. He met us at the apt and gave us some contact info for tour guides. We didnt have any issues so we never had to call him for assistance.

“In the heart of Florence” The host was very friendly and thorough when showing us the apartment. The apartment is very centrally located and is within easy walking distance to all major tourist sites in Florence. The apartment has all the amenities for an extended stay.

“Paradise” I spent one week in september with my wife. The weather was perfect. Everything was as described but I suggest to the owner to provide a microwave. Alwin was very kindly. If you want to get a feel of Paradise, just spend few days in this lovely place. You will have difficulties going back home...Just remarkable

“How to visit Florence but live like a local” Staying in this apartment allows you to have a true Florentine experience. The apartment is well furnished, kitchen adequately appointed for full mean preparation, bathrooms very clean, functioning clothes washer. The rent, most reasonable. Half a block down is a wonderful butcher and green grocer; Florentine wood crafting artist, a nice bar\disco, great restaurants, terrific coffee bar and bakery, Bar Marino,. the best ice cream in Florence at the gelato Carraia is three blocks away. Carmine Church with the marvelous frescos in the Branacci chapel.is a block away. Great location, nice landlord, reasonable price.

“Really excellent” We stayed one week in this very nice apartment and enjoyed it really. The kitchen was fully equipped with a washing machine, coffee makers, microwave fridge I enjoyed cooking and living independently. So reasonably priced and quiet at night we slept soundly. Comfortable bed made our stay so enjoyable. The location is perfect for visiting all the sights in Florence. We will definitely stay there again in our next trip to Florence!

“Meraviglioso” Lovely, apartment in a desirable neighborhood with easy access to all areas of Florence. I walked to all the sights of the city with ease. A bus route was available within one block. The family owners were delightful and very helpful. I felt "at home" while living in this charming apartment and would highly recommend.

“Wonderful Spacious Apartment” Amazing apartment, lots of room, interesting old building, good location near shops, grocery store, restaurants (don't miss All' Antico Vinaio right up the street for the best Florence sandwiches). Easy walk to Santa Croce church, Uffizi gallery, Duomo, etc. Washer/dryer especially useful. They even provide snacks! We couldn't have asked for anything better.

“Great location, clean, safe and great price.” We loved our experience at affresco. I was a little leary of renting apartments as this was my first experience but Enrica was warm and genuine and we had a great time at her place. The apartment was very clean and modern and the perfect size for my wife and I. If and when we return to Florence we will definitely stay there again.

“Beautiful apartment in a beautiful city” We stayed for 4 nights and loved it! The apartment is modern, bright, and spacious. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location is great, just across the river from the main city center. Easy walk to the train station and most places in Florence, and a safe location. Wonderful restaurants on this side of the river, and less touristy. Leila greeted us when we arrived and was wonderful, helping us with restaurant recommendations and a thorough walk through of the apartment. On check out, she helped us get a cab and even waited with us until it arrived. Wouldn't hesitate to stay in this wonderful apartment again!

“Best Place I’ve Stayed in Florence” I’ve been coming to Italy for several decades now; sometimes for business, a lot for pleasure. This trip was extended due to teaching responsibilities in Florence. I was here over 5 weeks, so I needed a place close enough to work, but not too close - away from the tourists, but close enough if I wanted to go. The Oltrarno district is ideal for this. It has all the things you might want in Florence proper - the sights, restaurants, shops and artisians, but it’s more authentic. You’re actually rubbing elbows with the rest of the denizens of Florence. It’s kind of a working class neighborhood. About the apartment - it was great! Roomy, as authentic Florentine as you will find - terrazzo brick everywhere, a real old carved stone sink, but it had all the appliances you’d want, plus the fastest wifi I’ve had on any of my trips here. It’s an old, thick building, so you rarely hear your neighbors. It is safe and secure and near the shops, stores, banks and markets you need for day-to-day living. The owners bent over backwards to ensure my stay was what I expected. When I asked for a coffee pot, no questions asked. The washing machine, stove, microwave, fridge, et al is all top-notch stuff. One more thing: A lot of the time, you’ll see pictures on these sites and they’ll look ok, and then you’re disappointed when you actually get there. On the other hand, a lot of these sites post less-than-stellar pics and you later found out that the place you passed over was really great. Well, the owners here nailed it - the pics are plentiful, truthful and authentic - it was exactly what I had expected when I got here. Like I said - the best place I’ve stayed in Firenze…ever.
