Exceeded expectations!
Our experience mirrors those of others who have given high ratings. Cristina is a very thoughtful host, and the apartment is in a good location and comfortable. It is all on one level except for a small step in the bathroom. One of the most helpful things Cristina did was to point out on a map where the two closest bus lines stopped and assure us that the bus takes credit cards. We stayed 9 nights and took the bus only seven times -- Florence is a compact, walkable, and lovely city. Cristina also showed us where to find a very good grocery store just a short walk away and she provided a couple of sturdy, waterproof shopping bags. Her garden is varied, interesting and beautiful. She is very responsive and glad to help with any questions. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Florence!

Absolutely Wonderful!
First I would like to say that our host Maria Christina was amazing! She was always available if needed and extremely helpful with providing information around our neighborhood and within the city of Florence. She went out of her way to insure our stay was as pleasant as can be. She also offered to help with our taxi service upon our departure in which we were very grateful for. I can't say enough good things about our host. We chose to stay here because it was outside the center of the busy touristy section of Florence. The neighborhood is quiet and the apartment is lovely, well equipted and comfortable. It is tucked away in a beautiful private first floor section in the back of the apartment building which we enjoyed. Our host was very helpful with the bus route into and back from the center of Florence which was easy to navigate but there were many times we chose to walk into Florence which took us about 25 min down a lovely street with restaurants and local shops. We would not hesitate to stay here again upon our next trip to Florence and want to say THANK YOU to Maria Christina for her hospitality.

Cristina was a fabulous host, meeting us on our delayed arrival and shared a full brief of the spotless apartment! The host provided tea, coffee and basics to help our stay. Thank you. The apartment is secure (inc parking) and well located for Florence, we walked or caught bus to town and local bus up to Piazzale Michelangelo. Cristina also recommended local restaurant “Il Barrino”, and what a fabulous Italian restaurant this was!!!! Departure just as easy as arrival. We would recommend staying here.

Cozy Apartment / Great Location in Florence
My wife, two teenage kids and I stayed at this apartment just outside of the city center and found it perferct for exploring Florence and the Tuscan countryside. We selected this property based primarily on the availability of private parking for our rental car, and on the excellent guest reviews. We concur with previous guests that the apratment is certainly cozy and looks nicer in real life than in the photos. There are high ceilings that make the space seem generous. We appreciated the stocked kitchen as we prepared several meals at home over the course of our stay, and the powerful a/c was a life saver during the 36 degree daily average temperature. We walked to center town daily which took us approximaty 15 minutes. Our host Christina was lovely and made us feel very welcome. We would stay here again and certainly recommend the apartment to anyone looking to spend time in this beautiful city. Many thanks!

Beautiful Place to Stay
Our family of four (two adults and two teens) had a lovely stay in Florence at Christina's property. The place was clean and spacious, with everything imaginable to make us comfortable. From the lavender soap and body wash, to the coffee/tea/pastry selections, to the extra phone chargers in each room, Christina made sure our stay would be wonderful. She met us at the property and answered every question we had, giving us so much helpful information about the area. My favorite part of the property was the wonderful collection of artwork in the living room. I would absolutely recommend this property, and would look forward to staying here again in the future!

Lovely Apartment
The apartment was cozy and comfortable, and the garden was a beautiful spot for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Cristina met us when we arrived in a taxi, and gave us all kinds of info about the apartment itself and about transportation options. The apartment was in a nice location away from the tourist areas, so we got to experience the local culture a bit more, but it was an easy bus ride to the main attractions. There are two bus lines within a short walking distance from the apartment. I was able to message Cristina later with questions about the bus system, and she responded immediately. She even booked our taxi for our return trip to the airport! I would highly recommend this apartment.

We were very happy with our stay at House of Gelsomino and Nespolo, it was a charming apartment with all of the necessities and many extras! We were in a walkable neighborhood to many bars, shops and restaurants. Our hostess was absolutely fantastic! She made us feel right at home and responded right away with any questions we had. All of the restaurants she recommended were fantastic, and within walking distance. We had 4 adults and there was plenty of space for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this apartment!

Booking process very easy. Host provided excellent precheck in directions to location. Upon arrival she met us and walked us thru the property throughly explaining how everything worked. Also provided excellent directions to local shopping and bus services. We were afraid to let you know how terrific our stay was for fear everyone will want to stay here and we won’t be able to get back in! This is like a home away from home!

Apartment location is in the center of the city of Florence, but you would never know it. It is very quiet with a private patio (garden) and gated parking. Very safe and secure. Apartment was clean and comfortable. Host Cristina was lovely and accommodating to all our needs and questions. Apartment is spacious and homey; plenty of room for the four of us and room to spread out when we needed our own space. Easy walking distance to most points of interest in the city. We took day trips to Pisa, Lucca and Bologna--all within easy reach by car. Our favorite restaurant was the local Coop--a quick walk around the corner from apartment. Many other cafes and restaurants nearby as well. Perfect apartment + lovely and accommodating host = fabulous Italy vacation!

Beautiful Florence
Florence was a treat to explore after staying in Rome for 4 days. Christina was a terrific host and catered to our every need. The bus routes were taking a little different route because of construction but she gave us a good heads-up. The apartment is decorated so nicely with a French flair. The bathroom facilities were so nice with a very large shower. Couldn’t have been happier with our stay.

At home in Florence
This lovely apartment suited our needs perfectly. It is far enough from the centre of town to be a good refuge from the crowds who (justifiably) surround the most popular attractions, yet easily accessible to the Arno riverside, and a 20-minute walk from Santa Crocce. If you like, there are two bus routes that will take you into the heart of Florence in minutes. There are groceries and cafes within easy walking distance. The facilities of the apartment are complete, and Maria Cristina shows you into the house gracefully and with delightful good humour. Note the collection of paintings and art objects that she has gathered (or painted herself). There is a certain rustic charm to this property; this is not your glaring white and stainless steel aesthetic, but it feels homey and sweet to this Canadian couple's taste. There is room to sleep four (a double and two singles), and you can dine al fresco on the patio or in the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay, and would happily stay there again. Cristina is a super host.

Great experience in Florence Italy.
We definitely enjoyed our stay in Cristina's Vrbo home. The home is not that far from central Florence. Cristina was very concerned about our stay and if anything was needed she was always available. A parking space was essential for us and the property provided that. Overall great stay and compliments to Cristina for making our stay in Italy a success.

Soggiorno semplicemente perfetto
La Casa è un piano terra con 2 camere da letto, ha un parcheggio privato nel giardino comodissimo soprattutto se, come noi, si ha bambini e non si vuole spendere troppo tempo in cerca di parcheggio. La cucina è attrezzata di tutto, i letti sono comodi, il giardino esterno in primavera/estate deve essere proprio bello. La posizione è strategica se si vuole visitare il centro di Firenze pur restando fuori dal caos turistico. Maria Cristina è stata puntuale, gentile e ci ha fatto sentire a casa. Ha anche avuto molte accortezze in merito ai bambini e si è sempre messa a disposizione. Ci torneremo!
