Fantastic Location in Florence
Two couples staying in Florence for three nights. Location of rental is great. Close to sites, restaurants and shopping. Host was very good to deal with. They were quite responsive and helpful, and allowed for early drop off of baggage. The accommodations were clean and well stocked. We recommend this location.

The location was wonderful- short walks to everywhere we needed to be. The description of the property was very good. The steps are not for the faint of heart, but by the second day they seemed to get easier.

Fabulous Florence
My sister and myself had a fantastic stay in the apartment. Very grateful for the use of a porter to transport our cases up and down the stairs. We feel very fit with all the climbing. Apartment felt like being at home, great view, and was great hearing the bells. It would be useful to have a mirror in the upstairs bedroom and a small table with mats on in the lounge to put drinks on. Guide books and maps very useful. Also a leaflet regarding the history of Pagliazza Tower in the corner. Would recommend apartment to family and friends wishing to stay in Florence.

This property was hands down AMAZING! The property had a very welcoming feeling, like I was staying with a family member. There was a washer and dryer (although I didn't use the dryer, I used the line to dry outside). There are pots and pans to use and a good sized fridge. The apartment was in a safe neighborhood and a wonderful view of the dome. I will definitely stay here again! Thank you Silvia!

Great location!
This apartmentā€™s location is key. Itā€™s close to everything, so you can walk anywhere. The view is amazing as well. The apartment has everything you could ever need (pots, pans, spices, washer, dryer, & more). The AC was great since we just stayed during July and it was very hot in Florence. We had an issue getting into the apartment because there seems to be a dead zone for reception right outside the building (US user), but Silva responded quickly and helped us get inside! Yes, there are quite a bit of steps to the top, but the view and location make up for it. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing apt. Can walk anywhere within mins. Would highly recommend this apt to anyone. Only negative (which wasnā€™t for us) is that there are stairs only to get to it. Easy walk up unless you have mobility issues.

DREAM VACATION!!
I knew from booking Sylviaā€™s home that it was going to be a positively enjoyable vacation. He was amazing at answering all my queries and providing suggestions on where we could eat/shop. The pictures in the listing are exactly what to expect and I canā€™t tell you how it felt to hear the bells of the Tower which was just steps away. Sylvia had clean linens/towels delivered after our first week and you would have thought they were new..amazing service! Kitchen was fully equipped so you would want for nothing. I know for some, the stairs might scare you off but, weā€™re 75 and although a little daunting we did it no problem for 15 days!! The location is walking distance to almost anything you would want including 13 minutes to the train station. Iā€™ve used VRBO for years and although recently Iā€™ve had my issues, this is a rental I would recommend to anyone that wants to experience Italy close up! Silvia, I canā€™t thank you enough for your hospitality and you can be sure if we return, we will be contacting you! Ciao

Beautiful Apartment
This place was clean, well appointed and absolutely in the perfect location to walk easily everywhere. I saw the reviews about there being 78 steps up to the apartment so I was not surprised when I got there. The 78 steps really arenā€™t a big deal if you are in reasonably good shape and it is so worth it when you see how nice the place is. I would absolutely recommend staying here.
