The perfect central location
This very clean apartment served us for homebase while visiting Florence. It is across the street from the Mercato Centrale which provided access to a few inexpensive meals. A food court Italian style. There are also several restaurants , the train station and city buses within walking distance. It is also within 10 to 15 minutes walk from all the sights. Our host, Gabriel was very accommodating and thoughtful enough to leave a book in the apartment suggesting places to eat on a gluten free diet for me. Simply a delightful find. I would return here in a heart beat.

Gabriele was a wonderful host! The apartment was exactly as expected. The location was perfect.
We very much enjoyed our stay at “Catarina”. Gabriel was very gracious and helpful. The apartment was clean and centrally located. We enjoyed the Mercato Centrale across the street and several restaurants right in the neighborhood. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Florence.

Excellent historic apartment and location
It was a pleasure to meet Gabriel and stay in the beautiful apartment, the location was very convenient as well. We enjoyed the food and fresh groceries at Mercato Centrale. Hopefully we can return to Florence and would love to stay here again.

Wonderful flat in the Mercado Centrale area.
We had a great stay in the Catarina flat. It was a short walk from the Santa Maria Novella train station and very convenient to most everything we wanted to see. Gabriele met us with the key when we arrived and showed us around the flat. There is a notebook with a map and restaurant suggestions. The flat was clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was updated. The sofa makes into a bed but we didn't need to use it. The area is quite busy but when we closed the shutters at night we didn't hear a thing. There are so many restaurant options within two blocks plus the Mercado has a great food court. We ate at the restaurant just to the right of the flat door twice. It was excellent! We would absolutely stay here again!

Great Location
This apartment is in a great location. Florence is easy to walk, but this apartment is right across from the market so grabbing food was easy. We stayed with our son and the living room is loud so he was unable to sleep well there, but you couldn't hear the street noise in the bedroom. Therefore I would only recommend this location for two people. The bathroom would be better if there were some shelves between the mirror (above the sink) and the shower for some storage. The shower was small and the were broken, but luckily my husband is handy and could get it to stay for us. The brick exposed walls provide a nice look and the pictures provided on the site are illustrative.

Perfect getaway
This apartment was the perfect chance to be right in the middle of the heart of Florence. It is so close to anything you could want to visit and it had everything we needed. The bedroom was set back from the street so it was nice and quiet for sleeping. Gabriele had a huge list of wonderful restaurants to visit as well as a map and help with anything we could need. This was a wonderful stay--thank you for sharing your apartment with us!

Exactly as described in a superb location
We have just had a great one week stay at San Lorenzo Apt. Apartment was exactly as described, clean and well maintained and worth its very fair price. The location is superb. 2 mins from the train station and most major attractions in Florence. The apartment is directly opposite the Mercato (central Market) which has everything you need. Downstairs is an open market and upstairs very good food and drink in a very busy upmarket food court which is popular with the locals. Considering how busy the place is no noise bothered us in the apartment and the bedroom is upstairs away from the street. The square outside has very good restaurants including Za Za which serves the best steak ive ever had. There is many eateries and drink establishments within a 2 minute walk including two craft beer bars (Brewdog and Mostedolce). We were met promptly by Gabriele who was very polite,thorough and spoke excellent english. He didnt bother us for the week but was on hand by phone if required. We would and probably will stay here again.

Well located
Gabiele's listing is great. He was very welcoming and was always available. Communication was perfect. His place is very cozy, extremely well-located (it is within walking distance to all major tourist locations in Florence) and it was remarkably clean. The flat offers everything you might need. There are great restaurants nearby. I recommend it a lot.

Feel like home
This place is PERFECT! You can easily walk to all the places! I spent 4 nights here with my Boyfriend and we enjoy a lot Florence and the experience to stay in an apartment that makes you feel like home. We discover the small city with all detail, we even enjoy to see the people rushing because they spent here for a few hours. Clean, big (more than enough for 2 people), amazing! Recommended 100%

Loved our stay
We want to thank Gabriele for letting stay in his apartment! The apartment was bigger than we expected. Great space to prepare simple meals. The location was amazing, close to historical sites (walking) and transportation! Gabriele made us feel very welcome!! He waited for us to arrive. We felt his apartment was perfect for us. The market is truly across the street. The second floor of the market stays open till midnight (I think). They have dinner, drinks and desserts available there. There’s a small cafe across the street past the leather seller stalls called Coffe and Kitchen, that we had a great American breakfast every day. All we can say us we loved our stay at Gabriele’s. Thank you so much, Gabriele!!

Beautiful
This is the perfect location from which to explore Florence. Really close to the Duomo, the central station and opposite the market with its fantastic food hall upstairs (open until Midnight). we'd definitely stay again, so it's not a deal-breaker. The accommodation is full of character, well laid out and has all you need for an enjoyable trip to such a beautiful city.

Caterina apartment was in the perfect location! It is right next to the Central Market and has heaps of restaurants right outside. We would highly recommend staying here as a first time visitor to Florence. Easy walk from train station, easy walk to all the sights. Gabriele was flexible with check in and check out time. He welcomed us and made us feel at home. The flat is exactly as described in the listing. The flat is great value for money. Although it is small, it is in an amazing location. It is super clean and comfy.
