This was our second trip to Europe. We stayed in this apartment in 2016 for our 35th wedding Anniversary and loved it so much that we came here again in 2025 for our retirement celebration. It is a perfect location and beautiful rental property. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

It was a nice rustic apartment, just like explained. Grocery store and markets nearby a plus. Very convenient to all sites and felt safe. The stairs were a bit for me because my bags were heavy but in all just fine. The couch was comfortable but front was sagging so might need replacing in future but I truly enjoyed my stay. I would recommend it, very good for the price!

An well located apartment with a traditional decor

We stayed for 3 nights in early November and the apartment was charming and very well located. The beds are comfortable and I particularly like the decor, beautiful old traditional furnitures and the wooden beams on the ceiling. We have all that we need in the apartment.

Great central location

My wife and I stopped here for a few nights between Paris and the Amalfi Coast. The apartment was exactly as described. Loved the rooftop terrace. Being able to do some laundry was a huge plus. Restaurant below the place had some solid pizza. Noise levels were very low at night. Would stay again

Comfy place with great location

Miralba's place provided a very comfortable, cozy place in a great location. You really do feel like you're staying a friend's house here. The rooms feel "real" not designer-chosen and you are within easy walking distance of all the greatest hits of Florence and eating and drinking establishments too numerous to count. Would stay here again. How cool to sleep across the street from the final resting places of Michelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli!
