Great little place. We were not allowed to use the comfortable bed and were told to sleep on the couch. I thought it was strange. We paid for the whole place but were told that using the bed would cost extra.

Home away from home.
The property was nice and cozy. The owner was very kind and explained the free and pay parking options for our rental car. If you want to go into Florence city center from this location, I highly suggest using the bus system.

Great stay in Florence
I had an absolutely wonderful stay in Florence! The apartment was perfectly located, just a short walk from the city center and all the major attractions. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail made it feel like a home away from home. I couldn’t have asked for a better base to explore this stunning city. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay at Laura’s House. Alessandro was very welcoming and helpful with his check-in and the place was a quiet oasis for us to relax at the end of a busy day in Florence. The kitchen is fully equipped so we even had the option to make our first home cooked meal of the trip. The location is great, a quick bus ride from the centre of Florence and in a beautiful quiet part of town.

Quiet Neighborhood.
Great clean apartment, but a good distance from the Central Town, be prepared to take a Taxi to and from the location everyday, $20-$25 Euros each way. We found a Pastry Bakery down the road that sells Bus tickets for $1.70 Euro each, so we took Bus to city and Taxi back at nights. We did not cook but it has a full kitchen. Alexandro was very nice and called a taxi to the Train station Novella for us $27.00 Euros. Off to Venice now!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🤪🤪🤪

This apartment is so nice. It's on a bus route. You can walk to Florence or hop a bus. It's near Piazza Michangelo, i walked there and back and I am over 70. The #12 or 13 bus will also take you there. It's a really nice place to stay. I highly recommend it.

We just loved Laura's House. We were greated by Laura's mom and got a great run down of the property and the town. So close to downtown you can walk or take the bus to see all the sights. Close to restaurants, a bodega and most important of all Gelato.

Lots of space, too far from city
We had never visited Florence before, so we did not realize how far from the city center this property would be. It really isn’t walkable. The apartment itself was very nice with plenty of room for our family. The owners were wonderful to work with. One issue was that the washing machine was broken, which we had been counting on using. Other than that, the apartment was fine just too far away from everything we wanted to see.
