ON THE PONTE VECCHIO SUITE

Great location at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio. Bed is extremely comfortable. Host answered all questions quickly. Quiet in spite of all the crowds. Would stay again anytime.

I've been to Florence many times and this was by far the best place I've stayed in. The location is just phenomenal, and the view is outstanding. Its not quiet, its not pristine, but its beautiful and bustling and the apartment itself is full of interesting artefacts and furniture that fully immerse you in Florentine life. I will keep booking for future visits, highly recommend.

I had a great experience staying in this apartment! The location was perfect - I was able to walk on both sides of the Arno River with such ease. Hector, my host contact was fabulous! When I needed something or unsure about something, I would WhatsApp Hector and he would get back to me immediately. He was kind and understanding! The apartment itself was quite interesting! Small doorways (but that didn't bother me since I'm only 4'11") and one-step different levels for bathroom and kitchen - but once you have it down, it's a no-brainer! I loved waking up and opening the living/dining room window and shutters - letting the light in and looking at the Ponte Vecchio bridge and the other side of the Arno River, while I have my espresso! At night, you can hear the people singing, laughing, carrying on, and for me, it just added more character. The bed was good, but the pillows did not work for me - I'm a tempur-pedic kind of sleeper. As for cleanliness, I think a bit more use of a vacuum on the carpets/area rugs, as well as a little more dusting, is needed but I didn't mind because I took care of the apartment as if it were my own. Overall, I LOVED the apartment - it's very Florentine in decorations and leaves one to ask "what was it like here in the 1300 to 1600s?"! But if you are in to having luxury suites or more modern settings, this would not be the place for you. But for me, I can't wait to book the apartment again in the very near future! Thank you to my Hosts!

Great location, cool shabby chic vintage style. Like others have said, bedding and towels clean but the apartment could use dusting, cleaning carpet/rugs and furniture. Bathroom needs reshreshing, no longer looks like pictures. Soiled shower curtain, peeling wall paper, and mold around the tub. This place could be awesome with consistent cleaning and maintenance.
