Santo Spirito Dream in Florence by Mmega

Excellent, excellent apartment and location. We communicated through Whatsapp and were met with the key and for a tour as soon as we arrived. The apartment is gorgeous, very comfy beds, quiet, comfortable sitting areas for visiting and relaxing.There is a washer/dryer, a bar/cafe directly next door for your morning cafe latte and pastry. It’s ON the Santo Spirito piazza, mornings were a leisurely waking up to life in Florence, with neighbors walking their dogs and taking children to school. The cathedral bells going iff in the morning just lent to the beautiful experience. I’m so glad we chose this away from the tourist area. We visited with my mother, and so were careful about how much we walked. The apartment was great for her on the ground floor. A short distance away is a taxi stand in front of the Pitti Palace. We also asked the people at the bar next door for help calling a taxi, that was more reliable than calling ourselves, and they can pick you up at a spot in the piazza. Several great cafes right there on the piazza, and gelato!

The apartment was very nice and well stocked. Management was responsive. However, there was a terrible smell coming from the bathroom in our en suite at times that was unable to be resolved. There was also some noise from the bar next door and the busy piazza-something to take note of if you are looking for a more quiet location.

It’s a lovely place, centrally located near great restaurants and breakfast places and position quite near the river and the bridges. Our only complete is the scent in the upstairs bedroom. It was very strong and unusual and made it a little difficult to sleep for me. Otherwise it is highly recommended because it has so many positive amenities.

This was an amazing location and overall a good experience. It would have been perfect, but there was a very strong methane smell coming out of the master bath. It was so offensive that we had to shut that door and not use that bathroom our entire stay. I notified the property manager immediately and never received a response. We made do with sharing the small bathroom downstairs. There were five of us so it wasn’t convenient. I understand that there are issues that arise, my frustration with the situation is that no one from the property ever acknowledged my messages regarding the stink.
