Casa Romana in Florence by Mmega

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Romana in Florence. The apartment was clean and well equipped. The bedrooms upstairs worked great for us. We had our 5-year-old and 15-month-old just across the hall from us and it was very comfortable. The bedrooms were spacious and quiet and we appreciated the air conditioning. The pillows did leave a lot to be desired, but since we did not use the loft space in the one bedroom where there was a third bed, we borrowed those pillows to double up. We were able to rent a pack-n-play for our toddler for a minimal extra cost that they set up with a sheet, blanket, and pillow, and it worked great. The bathroom worked well, though the shower drained slow. The main space of the house was small, but met our needs as we usually went out for dinner or just had a quick sandwich for lunch. There was an outdoor bar/restaurant next door, but they closed at a reasonable time and it was a great place to sit down for some food and a glass of wine or beer. The house was quiet whenever we got home from exploring all day. The area was great and very walkable. We put the baby in the backpack and were to the piazza or the river in about 10-15 minutes of walking and there was a great park nearby through the door and down our street. Some of our favorite restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and gelato were all on our street. We loved Florence and this VRBO rental made our stay very comfortable!

We loved this beautiful apartment! The lay out was great the kitchen and washing machine were wonderful. The location and proximity to bus lines amazing restaurants, and small local grocery store were much appreciated. The only improvements we would suggest are adding screens to downstairs windows and bathroom to keep the mosquitos out and replace master mattress with something a little softer maybe. Otherwise it was perfect and so charming!!

The best thing about this apartment is the location, it is literally a 10 minute easy, safe and interesting stroll to the Ponte Vecchio and a lot of great restaurants. The pictures of the apartment suggest a sunny, open Mediterranean feel about the property but in fact it was quite dark and not so bright. As it was, this was a blessing with the weather being so hot, so the apartment remained relatively cool. The beds and bedding could do with an up-date, the mattresses and pillows, whilst clean, were well used. Three of us stayed at the apartment and whilst there's room for six to sleep there, the apartment is too small for six adults, the one bathroom and small kitchen/dining area would be a challenge. The host let us in early as we arrived well before the check-in time of 2:00pm, which was appreciated but having only one key was limiting and would have been a problem if there had been more in our group. All in all, this was a nice apartment in a great location and value for money in the wonderful city of Florence.
