Ideal location for visiting the city. It consists of an equipped kitchen, a large bedroom / living room and a bathroom. A total restyling of the apartment was made in November 2019. The strength of this accommodation is the location, cleanliness, comfort and care that we reserve for our guests. The apartment is carefully checked before each arrival and check in is done in person, with comprehensive explanations and advice for visiting the city. All this is possible because Florence & Us is a small family business that manages only 3 apartments in the historic city center. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation -

Dec 1, 2014 #### Soggiorno assolutamente perfetto Per motivi di studio ho soggiornato a Firenze più volte durante tutto il 2014 e dopo alcuni soggiorni in diversi b&b ho avuto la fortuna, da maggio, di trovare questo appartamento. L'alloggio è comodissimo a pochi passi da Piazza Santa Croce, il posto ideale come base per visitare la città. Si trova al primo piano di un palazzo antico. Un luogo perfetto in tutto: perfettamente pulito e ordinato e attrezzato con ogni comodità. Niccolò, il proprietario, è gentilissimo, disponibile e pronto a dare ottimi consigli per visitare la città. Per chi non vuole uscire sempre a cena fuori a pochi passi c'è un piccolo supermercato Conad dove si può fare la spesa. Per tutti quelli che anche in vacanza vogliono sentirsi come a casa io lo consiglio assolutamente. ##### Silvia F.

En una calle tranquila y a la vez con todo lo necesario a su alrededor, su situación en el centro de Florencia lo convierte en el lugar ideal para disfrutar de la ciudad. Perfectamente equipado con todo lo necesario, extraordinariamente limpio y ordenado y con una cama comodísima. Su propietario Niccolò es una persona muy atenta y amable y, sobre todo, disponible en todo momento. Absolutamente recomendable para quien, estando en Florencia, quiera sentirse como en casa. ##### Chus L.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here very much. The owner was unable to meet us but we met up with his friend Danielle who was great! He gave us any information we needed and was very professional. The apartment was large. It was very clean and very we'll taken care of. The location was very convenient just like the description said. We did a lot of walking but it was always easy to get back to the apartment since it's so close to piazza Santa Croce. We specifically enjoyed piazza Michelangelo. This is definitely a sight to see. We got all the way to the top and had a beautiful view of Florence. We sat on the steps, ate some gelato and there was a street performer who was great singing. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone. We enjoyed our stay there very much. ##### Isabel M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Caffè Verdi - 24 hours Reception](https://www.expedia.ca/Pisa-Hotels-Hotel-Verdi-Pisa.h1396682.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Michele](https://www.expedia.ca/Cortona-Hotels-Hotel-San-Michele.h984435.Hotel-Information) > > [Nonna Adriana](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucca-Hotels-Nonna-Adriana.h22942570.Hotel-Information) > > [GOLD AREZZO CENTER APARTMENT](https://www.expedia.ca/Arezzo-Hotels-Apartment.h76942269.Hotel-Information) > > [Domus Nannini SPA - Palazzo Nannini - Loggia Salimbeni](https://www.expedia.ca/Siena-Hotels-Domus-Nannini-SPA-Palazzo-Nannini-Loggia-Salimbeni.h19153240.Hotel-Information) > > [LUCUS Exclusive B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucca-Hotels-LVCVS-BB.h42105813.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Tucci Residenza d'Epoca](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucca-Hotels-Palazzo-Tucci-Residenza-DEpoca.h2692251.Hotel-Information) > > [Relais la Corte di Cloris](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Relais-La-Corte-Di-Cloris.h5214685.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Le Aquile](https://www.expedia.ca/Siena-Hotels-BB-Le-Aquile.h29107445.Hotel-Information) > > [Cattaleya Rooms](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-HOSTEL-SANTA-MARIA-NOVELLA.h107195877.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Corolle](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Hotel-Corolle.h1236780.Hotel-Information) > > [Il Sorriso](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Il-Sorriso.h34817878.Hotel-Information) > > [Sangaggio House B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Sangaggio-House-BB.h2529591.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Rocchi Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucca-Hotels-Palazzo-Rocchi-Bed-Breakfast.h3814669.Hotel-Information) > > [Vogue Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arezzo-Hotels-Vogue-Hotel.h1372453.Hotel-Information) > > [Nice apartment with garden!](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Nice-Apartment-With-Garden.h32044376.Hotel-Information) > > [Relais degli Angeli](https://www.expedia.ca/Siena-Hotels-Relais-Degli-Angeli.h17500586.Hotel-Information) > > [Palazzo Alexander Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucca-Hotels-Palazzo-Alexander-Hotel.h1225471.Hotel-Information) > > [Albergo Celide](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucca-Hotels-Albergo-Celide.h2541665.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ilaria](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucca-Hotels-Hotel-Ilaria.h664711.Hotel-Information) > > [La Maison dei Miracoli](https://www.expedia.ca/Pisa-Hotels-La-Maison-Dei-Miracoli.h8064114.Hotel-Information) > > [Soggiorno Sogna Firenze](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Soggiorno-Sogna-Firenze.h8044522.Hotel-Information) > > [Wine Apartments Florence Merlot](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Wine-Apartments-Merlot.h41449590.Hotel-Information) > > [Flospirit - Penthouse with City View](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-Flospirit-Penthouse-With-City-View.h33524621.Hotel-Information) > > [Cento Passi Dal Duomo](https://www.expedia.ca/Arezzo-Hotels-Cento-Passi-Dal-Duomo.h23205084.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Diana](https://www.expedia.ca/Lucca-Hotels-Hotel-Diana.h3648423.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Palazzo del Magnifico](https://www.expedia.ca/Siena-Hotels-BB-Palazzo-Del-Magnifico.h29346534.Hotel-Information) > > [PALAZZO DEL PAPA ](https://www.expedia.ca/Siena-Hotels-Palazzo-Del-Papa-BB.h31785878.Hotel-Information) > > [Allegroitalia San Gallo Firenze](https://www.expedia.ca/Florence-Hotels-San-Gallo-Palace-Hotel.h918958.Hotel-Information)
