The apartment was wonderful. Very clean, wonderful hosts, and super location. The local restaurants nearby were really excellent. So many cute places around and easy access to the Boboli gardens. Stefano came to help with our bags when we were leaving and we appreciated it so much! We were very pleased with our stay and highly recommend this apartment. We stayed for seven days, my son and I.

The best stay in Florence

We had the best time in Florence staying at this VRBO near Port de Roma. The vibe of the neighborhood and the shops near by are fantastic. We especially loved the gelato store at the corner. Thank you again for hosting us!

Family in Florence

Wonderful place for our family while in Florence. We were very comfortable with the space and all the accommodations. The location is great, a bit outside the main center of the city but easy to walk to all the sites. The neighborhood is great with many shops and restaurants. Also an amazing gelato place at the end of the block.

The owners, Stefano and Patrizia, were so pleasant, available and helpful when we had a question or needed support. They met us on arrival and carried our luggage up the stairs - they did the same when we departed 7 days later. The apartment was exceptionally well-equipped and very clean. The location was so close to all amenities including a pharmacy, restaurants, specialty shops, bus stop, taxi stand, etc. We loved, loved this place!!
