    Location 2 min away from the train station which is just one station from the central station. Ground floor apartment with an upper floor bedroom and a sofa-bed, bathroom and kitchen on the ground floor. Comfortable self check in, Gladys is a lovely host and super communicative and helpful, she let us leave some stuff in before the normal check in (as we booked just 1 h before arriving and gave us lots of tips where to eat (and the food was great). Parking outside secured in the closed residential area where only residents can park (entrance by code). Super clean apartment with all you need inside. Good internet and smart Tv. We spent just one night because during the day we visited Florence but all in all it was a relaxing night to charge the batteries for our next trip. Thank you Gladys, we would definitely recommend you and come back one day!

    I loved being near the train station and not having to walk up 300 flights of stairs on a mountain (Ravello). Easy access to a walkable city made our stay pleasant. The property was cleaned and prepped for our stay.

    I'm very picky about pillows and the pillows were flat and hard. However, we discovered that in the five towns/cities we stayed in on our trip to Italy, that all the pillows were the same!

    Gladys was amazing. She sent us every bit of information we could need - nearby supermarkets, bars and restaurants, how to get into Florence (apartment was just across the road from the train station and only 1 stop). She checked in regularly with us to make sure everything was OK and was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this apartment. It has everything we needed and was in a very convenient location.

    Gladys was a wonderful and understanding host. I had a stressful incident where my phone screen broke halfway through my trip. Because of this, I lost all my details, and we were late to check out as I tried to get my phone fixed the morning of checkout. I did not have a way to contact Gladys, and had to leave you a note to explain. After I returned to the UK and was able to contact her, she was very understanding and kind, and didn't charge me late check out. It is so nice to have that care and humanity in the world. Thank you so much Gladys! The apartment itself was lovely, and very well situated. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It was minutes from the train station so very easy to reach the centre, and also for trips to Pisa. A very safe area! 10/10 would 100% recommend this apartment! Thank you Gladys 😊😊😁

    Not that bad but maybe the water heater system can be enhanced and the second bed from the sofa can be renewed.

    Considering that you cannot find a proper parking lot in the city center easily, this apartment can be a good option for accessing the best historical places by train. You can park your car close to the apartment, walk 150 m, get on a train from Firenze Rifredi station, get off in Firenze Santa Maria Novella station and start your tour easily. Everything was well considered, the apartment was cosy and peaceful. Especially, directions to find and enter the apartment, instructions to utilize the stuff and advices for restaurants, markets and other facilities by the host-Gladys were brilliant.

    It's the second time in 5 months I booked this appartment. That says everything I guess :) I can only confirm my first review: The apartment is very clean and well equipped. The entrance to the train station is a 5 minute walk and the train gets you to the center of Firenze in just 5 minutes. In the kitchenette you’ll find everything you need to prepare breakfast or a lunch. But there’s a nice (and cheap) bar on the backside of the apartment (It's closed in the weekends though). Gladys is a very nice host who does everything to make you feel at ease. She gives you a lot of tips to enjoy your stay in Firenze at the most!

    We had zero complaints.

    Gemme was a perfect spot for my wife and I during our stay in Firenze. The apartment was clean, convenient, and not without its own charm. The loft style bedroom is also kind of cool. The location overall is absolutely perfect. Literally across the street from the local train station, and one stop away from Santa Maria Novella station, which is Florence’s major hub for all connections, and is the literal heart of the city center. Also within the gates of the property is Ercole cafe, which is a great little spot for coffee and pastries in the morning. It’s literally steps away from the front door.

    Convenient and Comfortable Stay! The Apartment is conveniently located just a short train ride from Florence's historic center and a 4 min walk from Florence rifredi station. This makes it easy to explore the city's many attractions without being right in the hustle and bustle. The apartment is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The entire place is clean and well-maintained, with a very comfy bed and the kitchenette is perfect for preparing meals for a short stay. The host, Gladys, was incredibly helpful and accommodating. She was always quick to respond to any questions or requests. Overall, this place offers a great value for money. Would we stay here again? Absolutely!
