Florence View Apartments

Check in was confusing. The instruction should be clear that you are required to pick up keys on a different street that is walking distance from the apartment itself. That was a minor hiccup but not terrible to ruin our experience. Once we entered the room the VIEW is gorgeous and is also conveniently located near everything. Also, the WiFi was never able to connect to our phones and the property could not figure out the reason.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The apartment was beautiful with amazing views of the river and the city! The owners were very friendly and accommodating. Great location too!

The view was to die for. There was no HSKp service .

Great apartment, great price, great location. No roof top dining at this location and no washer dryer. Would definitely stay here again.

Our place at The Florence View Apartments was great for our first visit to Italy. We spent 15 nights there, and it was terrific to have everything within walking distance. Monica was attentive and provided some wonderful tips and suggestions for making the most of our time there, from resturants to markets to museums. We had the room with a balcony, which was a must-have for me. The king-sized bed was comfy, the bath towels were plush, and we were able to use the washer/dryer...usually we dried our clothes on a rack on the balcony -- very traditionally Italian! We had just a few mosquitos, but not more than we'd expect, being right next to the Arno River. Screens on the windows would help, but on looking around Florence and surrounding towns, people don't seem to use window screens in Italy. Some people might think the wifi was a little slow, but we live in the country so are used to spotty or slow internet connections. The building itself feels super-safe with three codes needed to get into the rental hallway, and then of course a key to each appartment. If you are arriving from a long flight or have much luggage, you might consider taking a taxi from the airport (about 25-30 Euro). We took the shuttle bus from the airport to the Central Train Station (6 Euro each) and then walked with backpacks to-and-along the Arno River...it was a pretty hot day, and we were whipped once we finally checked in. Don't try to walk it with roller-suitcases...cobblestones are tough on those!

Our host was invaluable in reference to her suggestions and guidance with our stay in Florence. She was gracious, courteous and kind. The apartment was first class.

Once we were able to check in at 2pm, it went well. It was a hot day and we arrived at 1:40. We called and were given the code to the building so we could at least get out of the heat, which we were grateful for. The place is very secure with codes and keys to get to your room. Bus #23 stops right in front of the building, from the train station. We stayed in the Deluxe apartment, which was spacious and has the “classic European” feel. We had a fantastic view out the front and back of Piazza Michelangelo and the bell tower. There is one tiny community washer/dryer combo in a different room outside the apartments which we thankfully got to first since we were completely out of clean clothes. The dryer was not efficient at drying, on the express setting at least. There are racks you can take to your room for drying. Our only complaints: 1) You trade the amazing views for the street noise at night. Before going to bed it was amazing to hear the live music up on the hill. Not so much once you go to bed and it continues until midnight, as well as the sirens and anything else going on below you. 2) The windows only had sheer white curtains so all light pours in throughout the night. I felt like it was dawn every time I woke up during the night and saw how bright it was. If light and noise don’t bother you then neither if these will be an issue.

I felt like I was living in Florence instead of just visiting! The location is perfect. It’s a close walk to the main attractions, but out of the very busy tourist area. The staff was super caring and helpful. I would stay here again in a hearbeat!

A big apartment in the perfect location is all you will need for a visit to Florence. The stone building is beautiful and the views of the South bank of the Arno are magnificent. The apartment has 2 floors and enough beds for 6. The kitchen has all you need for cooking and laundry services are available. The bathroom is big and fitted with a pedestal and bidet. Communication with the management team was simple and they responded quickly. I would not hesitate to come here again. The location is perfect: a 20 minute walk to the centre and 10 minutes from cafes for breakfast and a supermarket.

I didn't realize that we would not get any fresh towels and that it was more of a BNB type of booking
