Terrific apartment, wonderful location, very smooth process. Claudio was great too !
Just know, one bedroom has no door for privacy and the other requires you to walk up spiral staircase into upstairs…no worries for us…may be different for others. Rooms were great, entire apartment was wonderful!!

Clean, high end place offering all amenities. Bathrooms were beautiful, spacious with great water pressure. Separate AC for each bedroom along with floor AC that worked really well. They even stocked us with bread, eggs, jam, cheese and coffee. Great location and felt very safe with my teen daughters.

This was a great place to stay. Walkable to everything. We loved sitting at night on the leather chairs, having a glass of wine, and people watching out the large door that looks over the cobblestone street below.

We enjoyed our stay in Florence. Great welcome from our hosts!
Accommodation just needed tea towels for the kitchen!

Location is great becasue it’s central and it’s beautiful. Just as advertised. The only thing is that becasue it’s so central it was a little noisy into the late night. This isn’t the owners fault but more a by product of cultural differences someone may want to know. Wonderful stay.

The apartment was as described in the listing. Extremely comfortable for our family and we would stay here again if in Florence

We really enjoyed our stay and this beautiful apartment. Everything is very well maintained with two beautiful bathrooms that rival many 5-star hotels. The location is perfect as you are just far enough away from the tourist areas to avoid crowds but close enough to walk and see the sights. There are a number of great cafes and restaurants within a 2 min walk.

We booked this property for Christmas and were not disappointed with the quality and location of the property. Claudio was a great host with thorough communication prior and post arrival. Our train arrived prior to the check in time but since the property was completed being cleaned to their standards, he met us at the property right from the train station. He helped offload and carry our luggage to the flat (it is located on the second floor). He spent more than 30 minutes going over the details of the property as it was updated with modern amenities such as radiant heated flooring and a sauna. The location was perfect and being able to sit in the morning and evening with the windows open and people watch was a treat each day. There was a loaf of bread, eggs, jam, OJ, milk, coffee and prosecco already stocked by his company before our arrival. There was also plenty of soap in the kitchen and bathrooms. After we were checked in and throughout our stay Claudio continued to offer helpful suggestions for places to eat and shop. At one point he even went out of his way to drop off some additional kitchen trash bags so we could accommodate departing the property with our trash per the checkout requirements. One thing to note that is hard to tell from the listing is the property is multi-level requiring one to climb a spiral staircase for the loft and a small flight of stairs for the master and terrace with washer and dryer. Overall, this property was A+ and we highly recommend!

Spent the week before Christmas with family in this beautiful apartment in the center of the city. Apartment better than pictures convey. check in was a breeze. Florence is a very walkable city and no car required. Fantastic restaurants/shopping nearby. Highly recommend

We really enjoyed the location of our place! The place was cute and the air conditioning felt so good after long days out in the heat! Would definitely stay here again!

This property is minutes from everything in Florence. Cindy and Claudio welcomed us in person and even had a few groceries for us. The apartment is beautiful but it does have many steps to the front door and also inside so if you have trouble with steps be warned. Otherwise it is a fun place to stay. I would definitely recommend.

Our stay was amazing! The space is beautiful, the location was perfect, and the host was super responsive!
4.9
The place is truly amazing. The space you have for a family of four is immense. The beds were very comfortable and our kids loved the space they had up the curved stairs. Claudio was great to meet and welcome us. He showed us everything and gave us some tips on where and where not to go. We were treated to fresh cold water, eggs, cheese bread and coffee on our arrival. He even arranged a Taxi for us on our last day to pick us up. There is a bar down stairs not associated with the building you are in just part of the main plaza you look out. There is noise but the apartment is solid stone and brick walls. With the windows closed each night it did not bother us at all and to me made the area more lively.
We will def look to stay here again.

Property is just as described and better.

Beautiful apartment. Modern fixtures and furniture mixed with the stylish brick is stunning. We had everything we needed. There were four of us and it felt we had our own private areas. The outside patio was a bonus. We were checked in by Sandy and she was great. A few things stocked in the fridge was much appreciated. Thank you Pier.

We had a week stay at Stone walls. It was perfect for our family of adults. Everything that you need provided in kitchen and just as shown in photos for rooms.

This apartment is as pictured/described - uniquely and functionally designed with all the necessities to feel at home. Living room space, views of the piazza and steam shower were definite highlights for our stay. Beds and pillows could be upgraded as they weren’t the most comfortable but everything else was fantastic so still 5 stars. Hosts were easy to reach and informative.

Everything about this place was enjoyable. The communication and support from everyone involved was great. I woud stay here again for sure.

The property is as pictured, beautiful and clean. Sandy and her son exceptional, and thoughtful. Easy to contact. The apartment is multilevel, but also located up two flights of stairs. My elderly mother felt each step was worth it. :) Apartment is easy to access from the street. Food all around, grocery, and late night food too. Easy to walk to popular sights for art, and shopping. We only used taxi when we had luggage to haul. I will definitely stay here again. Side note: our luggage was lost, flights cancelled and our arrival became later as the day progressed. I mentioned luggage being lost to Sandy as we were taxied over. Before we arrived she had already provided essentials, including breakfast because our night was so late. She made an extremely challenging day feel a little less horrible. I am so very thankful for her kindness. Also…Netflix and Prime and wifi available! Enjoyed our stay!

Great location. Very modern space. Beds were comfortable. Note that they are 2 twins pushed together for both beds - so don't plan to sleep in the middle. We did have a mosquito issue as we had windows open the first night and did not know that it would be an issue in the city - so beware! The spiral staircase up to the second bedroom is a little interesting - my 30 year old niece slept up there, but not sure older/unsteady folks would enjoy going up and down. The showers were great - the bathrooms very well appointed. The welcome food and prosecco was very nice. Communication was perfect. I highly recommend this apartment!
4.9
This apartment is perfectly appointed for any length of stay and is centrally located. Our host was super helpful and super gracious. When we return to Florence we hope to stay here again.
4.9
The property is very cool but a little challenging. The spiral staircase is super steep and not for the faint hearted. A fabulously central location but above a bar/club so noise into the night. Very well equipped space and thoughtful hosting with lovely welcome pack.
4.9
We had the best time in Florence! From the first step of booking the rental until check-out, everything was effortless. This property is in the absolute BEST location - we walked everywhere and enjoyed so many local spots. The host was wonderful and very helpful with suggestions and even arranged transportation to the train station for us. We would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely apartment, great location. Highly recommend.

The apartment is as listed. Beautifully redone, spotless clean, modern updates with respect to the past. The location is fantastic, so close to the Duomo and all the other sites. Sooo many restaurants nearby! Hard to choose one! We loved having the availability of the washer and dryer with detergent supplied. The only drawbacks I could say are towels are sparse. No extra towels for the second bathroom. The steam shower was not working. It did work as a regular shower. If you have mobility issues you should read the description and look at pictures carefully. There is a metal spiral staircase to the second bedroom. It is beautiful but would be challenging for some. Sandy was fabulous checking us in and providing recommendations. She made us dinner reservations and arranged a taxi for our departure day. Was quick to respond. All in all, this is a beautiful Florence apartment , well located, with great interactions with host!
4.9
First off, this place is exactly what it claims to be. Modern remodel of an old building. Very close to most of Florence tourist highlights. Walking distance to so much. The place was super comfortable and convenient. We especially liked being able to do laundry here as this was the midway point of our two week vacation. Florence is amazing, and this is an amazing place to stay right in the heart of it all.
4.9
Place was very modern and in a safe close location to everything. Sandy was an amazing host and very attentive to all of our needs. Even allowed extra time as needed for departure and arranged cab to train station Our only complaint was that our vacation had to end !!!!!!
4.9
This property was amazing . Couldn’t have asked for a better location -minutes from the Duomo -shopping and lots of restaurants . Sandi was outstanding-providing restaurant recommendations -meeting our needs during our stay . Loved being able to look down into the square and people watch . Would absolutely recommend this property. A couple tips -might have been nice to have more than one towel each (there were 4 of us) as the dryer didn’t work particularly well so drying laundry was a bit of a challenge. Also -tho it wasn’t an issue for us -the inside spiral staircase to the bedroom that didn’t have an ensuite might be a challenge for someone with mobility issues . All in all a wonderful experience:))

The photo's are accurate. The space is spotless. The neighborhood is vibrant with plenty of shopping, restaurants and sightseeing in sort distance.
We were able to visit everything on our list within easy walking distance although there was public transport fight outside the door.,
But probably the biggest plus was Claudio, the son of the property manager Michelangelo. Michelangelo contacted us a few days before arrival to arrange meeting at the apartment and check in. Claudio was there to greet us, carried our bags up the stairs and explained the functioning of all the applicances and the blue tooth speakers which were amazing. Music over coffee in the mornings with an excellent espresso machine and plenty of coffee capsules. Breakfast, enough for a few days, was already in the chiller.
Claudio was kind enought to make restaurant reservations for us and his local favorites, all within walking distance. But most importantly, he made taxi reservations for us to the train station on day of departure so we would not have to walk to the taxi stand some 7 minutes away. He made our holiday special.
Not to be missed: the central market, Uffizi gallery (buy tickets in advance!) Ponte Vecchio, Duomo (also get tickets in advance!).
Just past the Ponte Vecchio, on the Uffizi side of the river is a wonderful hotel with a very comfortable outdoor seating area for coffee and drinks.
It was one of the nicest places we ever rented and would return anytime we visit Florence.
Florence is a city everyone should visit at least once in thier lifetime.
4.9
Fantastic modern updated apartment, however some issues with access to the apartment. Two flights of concrete very steep stairs made it difficult to get in and out of the apartment. My suggestion would be any guest over 60 years old should consider the two flights of stairs. Also second floor bedroom, in my opinion, as an unsafe platform. It is an open area with no safety railings which my wife dangerous.
4.9
Nice blend of old building w/modern conveniences located centrally. It was clean, check in & out was done professionally. Would stay here again!!

The apartment was perfect. Air conditioning was needed in our time in Florence as it was so hot, such a great relief. The apartment managers were so helpful, they arranged our taxi to the airport, carried our bags up the stairs, and stocked the fridge with a bottle of wine, and some breakfast items. They really went above and beyond. Beds were comfy too. Such a good experience.
