Check in was complicated. A lot of instructions. If you ask a question they routinely suggest you didn’t read all the instructions. Info was missing from the documents they sent us. WiFi in building was weak. This is understandable in a very old building but you need to be able to connect to the WiFi in order to access the unit. Seems like each time you chat with the management company you end up chatting with someone different. We will not rent with this rental company again. Excuses were inconsistent for the multiple issues we encountered. Furniture in living room was old and charming looking, but look closely, it is very warn out down to the cushions and uncomfortable to sit in.

This was a wonderful place to stay. The location was incredible. We loved staying right on the plaza. We were worried about noise but we barely heard a thing. We went to bed one night at 8:45 (after flying a red eye and staying up all day) and the windows completely blacked out and we couldn’t hear any street noise. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was perfect. The location was extremely central so we could easily come back during the hottest part of the day. The freezer had ice cube trays!! We rarely stay somewhere twice but we can’t wait to stay here when we come back for even more time in Florence and will recommend it to everyone.

Outstanding property and location.super cool to stay in a 500 year old place that had all the modern convenience needed. Took a little figuring to make everything work since it was in Italian but that is part of the adventure! Incredible density of shopping and restaurants with the very best we found only 2 blocks away. Would stay again!

When we arrived after a long trip from the US, the owner said we could gain access through a virtual key, but we did not have internet access when we arrived because we were using US phones and Whats App for communication.We went to the pub next to our building in desperation and he to let us hook up to his internet and try to access through the VIKey system. We found the directions very confusing. After numerous phone calls to reach the owner, we finally called VRBO directly. VRBO was able to contact the owner who said she would send someone to meet us at 9 a.m. the next and day to address our concerns . We needed to know how to link up with WI-FI, use the washing machine and adjust the air conditioning unit, no instructions. The owner sent her cleaning woman who tried to be helpful but did not speak English. We managed communication with her using the translate app. We felt bad that she had to shoulder the burden of frustrated renters. We continued to have trouble with the key throughout our stay. There also was only one set of keys for us (two couples). At times, when we wanted to do different things, we left the door open a crack to enable our friends to gain access.We strongly suggest that the owner change the entry process. It really hampered our stay in this rental. Also we noticed other reviews addressing the same problem and the owner did not seem sympathetic at all.
