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.

Check in was terrible. You need to call the hotel (roaming) in order to get the keys. Address is wrong and need to pick up the keys in an office nearby (yes, walking with the luggage in Florence streets). Even though the manager is helpful and friendly the process needs improvement. The view from the apartments is very nice and is also conveniently located near everything. AC was not working properly the first night. I sent an email (never replied) but they came to fix it next morning after a terrible night. Or maybe it was just too hot before we came in. Check out is at 10 am. They told us we could leave luggage somewhere (I didn’t understand where) and tried contacting them on the Expedia phone number that’s not working. So we had to carry our luggage all day before leaving to the airport.

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!

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.

Perfect location
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.

Nice place close to Florence center. Nice view facing the river. It was like staying in our own house at our own freedom. No one to come and police you. I will stay there if I go back 5*. We were late getting to the hotel but they e-mail the password and the instructions to get in. It was not a problem at all. There are two entrance one facing the road one facing the alley. We were trying to get to the taxi and waited in front of the front door. The building manager and a skinny dumb woman came and yell at all of us like we did a criminal act. This has nothing to do with the hotel. I did not know enough Italian to tell her to go get a ****$.

It’s a great apartment located in a top of a historic building. It has wonderful views to the river and city. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook a meal. A/C, fantastic price for this location. Not a full service hotel, so great if you are ok with being a bit independent.

Wonderful place to stay!! Monica was very accommodating to our late check in needs and still made sure to meet with us the next day for any questions about the apartment as well as to give advise on places in the area to visit and eat. Wish we could have stayed longer! With a fully equipped kitchen and access to laundry room (both fully stocked with everything you could need), these apartments are perfect for a quick weekend (like us) as well as for a longer visit (like I wish had) and Monica is a wonderful hostess! She made sure we had a taxi scheduled at our check out and helped us make reservations at restaurants when needed. Would definitely stay here again!!

Nice comfortable Santa Croce apartment
Great apartment, with views over the Arno and - from the back - the city. A short walk to Santa Croce and 10 minutes to all the sights of Florence. The apartment was classically furnished with a nice bathroom and well-equipped kitchen. The owner was very friendly and offered multiple tips about maximising our stay. Overall a good place to stay for a few days if you want to be in self-catering in central Florence.

Comfortable, Well Appointed & Efficient
If you're okay without the "hotel amenities", this well appointed, fully furnished apartment is conveniently located on the main street along the Arno River. Our apartment, located on the 3rd floor, was clean, modern, efficient and comfortable. We were able to use our kitchen, access Wifi, and relax in our living room. Laundry facilities were just down the hall. Staff was extremely helpful in every regard for logistics and local recommendations for restaurants and shopping. We even received assistance with printing our boarding passes and securing a taxi to the airport. We would recommend this apartment as an alternative to a hotel because you're not paying for services you may never need or use. Without a doubt, this felt like a "home away from home" yet situated you in the middle of all that Florence had to offer. Best "room with a view" ever. And the skylights were included. Check it out and you'll agree. Oh yes, the quiet nights to sleep beat the hotel "noises" hands down. Thank you for your hospitality, Monica.

Great location and great people. Our host Monica could not have been more helpful through out our stay from the moment we arrived, to the moment we left. Accommodation was clean, tidy and within easy access of the centre of Florence and all the sites you will want to visit during your stay. The only piece of advise is to make sure you have a good pair of walking shoes. Would definitely stay there again.

The location was great as we could walk everywhere but it was far enough to be quiet. The view of the river was lovely. The apartment was spacious enough for my family of 4. Check-in service was quick and informative. The only downside was that we did not see anyone at the desk for the next three days. We had a question about check out and trains to our next destination but were unable to reach anyone with the number provided.

The location was great and staff was very helpful although if you arrive before 2 pm you will be stranded in the street until staff arrives at 2 pm. The furniture was very old and had stains to the point that we avoided sitting on them. If the management of the hotel updates the furniture, it would be a good place to stay. Also the space on the second floor where there were two single beds was very small.

Florence View Apts
I had no idea what to expect but this place was a nice change from a hotel. The bed in the main room is actually a queen and the sofa bed is a full. Everything was well appointed, but the bathroom needs some attention. The water drains very slowly and you end up standing in standing water before you're finished with your shower - which is actually tiny. If you are more than 5'10" and larger than a 42" chest, you likely will not fit comfortably. We were three women and one had a difficult time turning and washing her hair. If you like to use washcloths, bring them. Monica was a bit late for check in due to a flat tire, but when she got there, she spent a lot of time with us, giving us good hints on places to go, how to use all the door codes, and where to store luggage. She really helped us out. This location has great views and is walking distance to the Ponte Vecchio and all other central points. It took us about 22 minutes to walk to the Accademia where the David is. Uber is not available there but the taxi was fast to pick us up to go to the train station. I'd stay again!

The hotel location is great, walking distance to many historical site. The hotel manager (Monica) is wonderful and extremely helpful. The hotel also includes a full kitchen which is nice to use for breakfast, and it's a short walking distance to a grocery store. Our only issue was with the outside noice as people were partying loudly on the street until 3 am. The apartment is on the third floor and the noise travels up and the windows aren't noiseproof.
