| Florence, Michaela |
"The apartment was perfect for my needs and the location, well, perfect" |
| Affordable Florence Apartment in Fantastico Location |
Fantastic upscale historic center location.
This is an excellent Florence apartment if an historic center location and affordability are top priorities. The Michaela studio apartment in Florence is a perfect retreat from Florence's busy downtown streets, and is likely more spacious and affordable then comparably priced Florence hotel rooms, plus you'll have the added benefits of a kitchen, washing machine and free WiFi.
The apartment building is located at the intersection of Via della Spada and Via della Vigna Nuova where they form a triangle off Via Tornabuoni. Around 1740 (recent by Italian standards!) Pietro Leopoldo, Grand Duke of Tuscany, decided to rename the streets of Florence. At that time the name Spada, meaning "sword" was chosen for this street. Some city historians believe that the name was selected since the straight direction of the street somewhat resembles "una spada" -- that is, a sword. Via Spada is located where the first circle of Roman walls surrounded the city, as the ancient walls ran along what is now Via Tornabuoni. Historians believe that Via Spada was the continuation, from east to west, of the ancient Roman road which includes Borgo degli Albizi, Via del Corso and Via Strozzi.
The apartment is located on Via della Spada just off of the high-fashion Via Tornabuoni, with numerous major designer boutiques just outside the front door of the apartment building. You can stroll along downtown Florence pedestrian thoroughfares, enjoying outdoor cafes, easy museum access due to the central location, plenty of shopping, restaurants and the best produce market, the Mercato Centrale, all within walking distance. This is the Florence you see in the postcards and glossy coffee table books. The perfect location of the Michaela apartment will help you appreciate the village atmosphere of Firenze.
If you're looking for a chic neighborhood and a convenient stopping point at the end of a busy day of sightseeing, the Michaela studio apartment offers the perfect solution. The Gucci store is directly behind the apartment building, the Robert Cavalli boutique is right outside your front door, the Tod & Hogan store are around the corner, Salvatore Ferragamo's flagship store and museum are only a 2-minute walk away. Or, if your dream has been to attend language or cooking school in Florence for several weeks, this apartment provides a comfortable home ba
The apartment is located on the quiet back side of a six-story Renaissance building.
The Michaela studio was once part of an extremely large family apartment that has since been sub-divided into what are now four vacation rental apartments. The Prisco, Strozzi and Lucia apartments are located down a private hallway from the Michaela apartment. The apartment is approximately 270 square feet, and has a large picture window that admits lots of morning light. There is a blackout shade and drapes to shut out the light.The window overlooks the internal courtyard and service terraces of neighboring apartments. The big advantage to this is the peacefulness for a central Florence location.
The sofa opens out into a queen size bed. It's a standard sofa bed, with a mattress that folds in the middle.
Between the living area and the bathroom is a large built-in closet. The efficiency kitchen has a two-burner stove top, microwave/grill, toaster, under-the-counter refrigerator, pot, pans, dishes. Italian. Enjoy meals at home at the round dining table that seats up to four people. Shop in the morning at the famous Mercato Centrale for fresh produce, pasta, artisan breads and pizzas, and cook up a simple meal back at the apartment for lunch or dinner. Or pop down the street to the little corner market and pick up a bottle of wine, salami, cheese and olives and enjoy a light meal at home. The bakery just down the street has excellent Tuscan breads, pastries and cookies.
The bathroom is roomy with halogen lighting, a large fully enclosed shower, toilet, bidet and heated towel racks (when heat is on). The countertop is spacious and there is very good under-the-sink storage for towels and toiletries.

• Small but it is spotlessly clean and well maintained
• Great value for terrific location
• Warm and friendly welcome
• Sofa bed is as comfortable as a sofa bed can be with the inherent limitations of a mattress that folds, so if you are a finicky sleeper or have back problems a sofa bed is probably not for you.
| We loved this little apartment!!! | Aug 2011 |
What a wonderful place to stay in Florence!! The friendly greeters, Miki and Franco, were so welcoming and helped us get a feel for the city and the apartment. The apartment itself is surprisingly spacious for a studio apartment, and it had everything we needed, from pots and pans to internet access to a laundry closet down the hall. The furniture is really space-efficient, and all of the cabinets and the whole kitchen unit have sliding doors. It gave us some great ideas for furnishing our new apartment back home. There's a great modern bathroom and beautiful paintings as well. The location is absolutely amazing--it's in a beautiful area near some great cafes and restaurants (not to mention the shopping!) We loved walking to the market everyday to pick out food to make for dinner--such a great way to really experience Italian food. |

| Small but comfy | Apr 2011 |
The apartment we rented was small but comfortable and has everything we needed. A bonus was the public area where were a computer was made available for sharing. A negative was the heater system where 2 apartments shared one heater controller. There was a bit of a discussion between us and the neighbouring (as there are 4 "apartments" in the one large flat) renter about what the temperature should be. The location of the apartment was a huge plus. Convenient and safe. |

| Great Location | Feb 2011 |
The Michaela was just right for us and what we wanted to do in our trip to Florence. The location cannot be beat. Via della Spada is an amazing street full of upscale shops and beautiful old cobblestone streets. The place itself was small but great for two people not spending a lot of time in the room itself. The sofa bed is comfortable, not a bed, but still was ok. It is an amazing deal if you compare it to similar hotels and we were able to experience Florence more like locals rather than tourists. |

| We had a great stay in Florence | Jan 2011 |
We had a great stay in Florence for the last leg of our Italian vacation. The Michaela apartment offered a home away from home. Franco and Miki were so welcoming and helpful. There are lots of great places to eat nearby and so much to do! |

| Wonderful Studio | Jan 2011 |
The Michaela is a charming little studio in a fabulous location in Florence. The apartment is small, but has all the essentials. If you are not all about the frills, and location and price are important, this is the place for you. We loved the fantastic location near shops, restaurants, and tourist sites -- an easy to walk to most anywhere you want to go. The sofa bed is pretty comfortable considering what it is, but not ideal for extended days. Loved this place! |

| Super location and quiet | Jul 2010 |
I was in Florence for a week by myself and Michaela was perfect for me. I know Florence very well and the location is within walking distance of everything and very close to the main tourist sites. The apartment itself is very quiet and private, the bathroom is clean and modern, free computer access and printing is available, and Miki and Franco couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. I would definitely return to Michaela if I were in Florence again by myself. |

| It was clean, secure, in a perfect location | Jun 2010 |
I thought I should send you a note about our four week stay in Florence.
Miki and Franco are great greeters and hosts and we certainly appreciated all their efforts. The Michaela apartment was perfectly adequate for our purposes. It was clean, secure, in a perfect location and the price allowed us to spend a little more of our money on visiting museums and shopping for leather goods. Thanks for coordinating everything.

| Perfect Apartment in Florence for couples | Apr 2010 |
We had a great time in the Michaela apartment for two weeks in April, 2010. The hosts, Miki and Franco, went out of their way to help us out. We did a lot of cooking in so they brought us extra pans,etc. If you do cook in a lot you can expect to have a utility bill when you leave. A reasonable bill, just expect it. Having an Internet connection on location was an extra plus. Great location, we walked everywhere. If you plan to visit a lot of museums look into the 'Friends of the Uffizi' card. It saves you standing in some long lines. Thank you for the nice feedback! Electricity and gas are charged separately for stays of more than a week as stated in the apartment information. The price for 7 nights or less includes a utility allowance to defray utility costs. These guests incurred modest utility charges for their 2 week stay. We apologize for any confusion over this. Lisa, Italy Perfect. |

| We found the accommodatons very nice and comfortable. | Jun 2009 |
We found the accommodatons very nice and comfortable. The only drawback was the ice maker did not make ice very well and we Americans like our ice and it could not be purchased anywhere. [The freezer has an ice cube tray, no ice maker. - Lisa] We thought the lighting in the living room could have been better as we did a lot of reading for places to visit, etc. The bathroom was very up-to-speed. The location could not have been any better - it was close to absolutely everything and all within walking distance. The stops and restaurants were great and right at hand. Everyone was very friendly and greeter could not have been more helpful and gracious. It is hard to say what we enjoyed the most as there were so many things to enjoy, but we would have to say just the safety and location of the apartment made our trip absolutely wonderful. Thank you. We look forward to working with you again. |

Michaela is the best place we could dream of and more then we ever wanted we got in this sweet little apartment. It is lovely for a couple and you have the internet too. It is close to everything you want to walk to. The owners are so warm and helpful. We will be sure to come back again to stay in the Michaela apartment. Thank you. We would be happy to recommend many great restaurants and to be a referral for anyone who in interested in Michaela. Your service was perfect. I will be sure to recommend you to all my friends. |

| Perfect Stay | Feb 2009 |
The Michaela apartment was perfect for our needs. The compact kitchen is fully equipped and I enjoyed cooking many meals with the wonderful ingredients purchased at the Mercato Centrale...be sure to taste the abundant samples at Perini! The bathroom is spacious and immaculate, the bed is very comfortable. The computer room felt like an extension of the apartment, an added bonus. Most importantly Miki and Franco are wonderful hosts. They welcomed us warmly, took pride in giving us a tour, and showed us how things work. We loved the neighborhood and walked everywhere. A favorite restaurant is La Spada, very reasonable especially for take out. The info packet from Italy Perfect was very comprehensive and helpful. We have rented from Paris Perfect also and our future European travel plans will always include one of your excellent apartments. Thank you. |

| Perfect location | Nov 2008 |
I was only in Florence 4 days visiting friends but I found the overall experience at the Michaela very good. The hosts were excellent, very helpful and willing to do anything needed. I was very familiar with the area and highly recommend the coffee across the street at Cafe Giacosa - the best cappucino in the world I am sure! Being right in the centre of the best shopping area I thought the apartment would be noisy but it was not.The only problem I expereinced was the lack of screens on the window. It was October and I did not turn on the air-conditioning, didn't realize there were mosquitos - so I had lots of bites.Very safe even when I returned late at night.Highly recommend the place and the company. |

| Lisa was so very helpful and professional throughout the planning stages | Oct 2008 |
I just returned from 11 wonderful nights in Firenze, Italy. I decided on this trip to rent an apartment due to the length of my stay and chose to rent the Michaela, a studio apartment from ItalyPerfect.com. Lisa was so very helpful and professional throughout the planning stages and answered all my questions which were so much appreciated. The apartment is perfectly located in the fashion shopping district (which for me was not a good thing, but I kept my promise not to splurge and I didn’t) close to Via Tornabuoni, is about a ten minute walk to and from the Santa Maria Novella (SMN) train station and it's on a bus route as well and you can walk to all the major sites that Firenze has to offer. The apartment itself suited my needs perfectly as I was traveling solo. The apartment is fairly quiet for it being in a very busy thoroughfare. The apartment is very attractive, had a lovely welcoming basket of wine, chocolate, etc., the room was a good-size, very comfortable and it had everything I wanted with a modern bathroom. And if you’re wondering, the apartment building has an elevator, so no need to struggle with your luggage up the stairs. You can keep in touch with family and friends or get caught up on the latest headline news with easy access to the internet with the computer work station just outside your door. As Firenze happens to be my favorite destination in Italy I’m already thinking and planning my next trip to Italy and will definitely book my stay with italyperfect.com for all my future accommodations throughout Europe and especially Firenze and will definitely recommend using them to one an all. |

| Miki, Franco & Marco have all been great | May 2008 |
I've been meaning to write to you since my arrival in Florence to let you know how wonderful the Michaela apartment is. Miki, Franco and Marco have all been great---even when I locked myself out. I called Miki from a pay phone and explained in my combat Italian what I had done. Twenty minutes later Marco was there to rescue me! Miki has been kind enough to show me the other 2 apartments [Prisco & Strozzi] and I am 97% sure that I will be wanting to reserve the big Prisco apartment for April 2009. Thanks for all of your service and attention to detail. |

| I definitely will reserve Michaela again | Jan 2008 |
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed my stay. The Michaela is perfect for a single person, and Miki and Franco were delightful hosts. I loved the city and wish I could have stayed longer, and when I'm fortunate enough to return, I definitely will reserve the Michaela again. Thank you again for everything. If you need a reference for the apartment, please feel to use me. I loved it! |

| Nice to return at the end of the day to "my" place | Nov 2007 |
I wanted to write and thank you, and Miki and Franco, for my stay in Firenze. I had a glorious time. My daughter Caitlin and I wandered to the Italian Riviera and all around Tuscany, and had an absolutely memorable experience. It was so nice to return at the end of the day to "my" place on Via della Spada. The apartment was perfect for my needs and the location, well, perfect. I must tell you, during the end of my stay I was alone for the day as my daughter was attending class. I wandered to Fiesole and found myself having lunch at a wonderful restaurant recommended by Miki. An American couple sat down at the same restaurant a short time later and we began a conversation. It was revealed that we were both visiting our respective children and the conversation moved on to where we were staying. We both began to report on the wonderful apartments we had in a great location in Firenze and then ultimately realized we're staying a few doors apart [at the Prisco apartment] and we both booked through Italy Perfect. Maggie and her husband Bob were delightful people and we all laughed about how "small" the world has indeed become. Thanks again Lisa; this will be a memory that both my daughter and I will cherish. |

We loved the apartment in Florence - Miki, Marco and Franco were wonderful hosts - nothing was too much for them - the apartment was spotless, cute cosy and comfy. Having the shared study [private computer workroom available to Prisco, Strozzi, Michaela guests] with internet and the use of Skype was an added bonus, as were the other interesting guests. |

| Loved having everyone in the same building | Sep 2007 |
All three apartments in Florence (Prisco, Michaela and Strozzi) worked out great. We loved having everyone in the same building (and hallway). That was perfect. The units were exactly as advertised and they were in a GREAT location in Florence. We liked it a lot and would definitely stay there again if we came back to Florence in the future. Two of our favorite restaurants were a stone's throw away -- Il Latini and Osteria Bella Donne. |

| I felt very safe and comfortable | Aug 2007 |
I felt very safe and comfortable in the apartments [Michaela and Prisco]. Miki and Franco went out of their way to help me with some things unrelated to the apartment, and I had everything I could possibly need. The neighborhood is great and I absolutely loved being right in the center of town, able to come and go easily and utilize the kitchen and the quiet for inbetween all of my sightseeing and Florence activities. It was so easy to communicate with Lisa- she always responds promptly and kindly to any inquiries. I highly recommend the apartments offered through Italy Perfect. |

| Actually lived there almost like the locals | Sep 2006 |
First, let me say that I enjoyed the studio tremendously. The place was extremely well renovated. There were all the little touches to make it as comfortable as possible, its small size notwithstanding. Add the perfect, central location to the mix and you really have a winner. I did not so much as visit Florence as actually lived there almost like the locals for a week. |

| Extra touches & decorations made the place so homey | Jun 2006 |
We really enjoyed our time in Michaela. We were just so relieved and thankful to come to Michaela with the nice welcome from Franco and Miki, the wine, the water in the refrigerator, the kitchen so useful and efficient. Marco was also so helpful especially as he told us that we could go to the Academia for free on Tuesday nights. So we saw the David that night! We would so highly recommend the studio. If any one ever wants to email a person who stayed in Michaela, you can give them my email address as I would be glad to recommend the place. The extra touches like a hair dryer, some shampoo, soap, bathrobe, even the nice decorations made the place so homey. And since the place in Rome was not as nice, we felt so comfortable in Florence. |

| Very efficient, comfortable and clean | Apr 2006 |
We had a wonderful time in Italy, Firenze in particular. The Michaela apartment worked wonderfully - small, but very efficient, comfortable and clean. And the location - wow! Miki and Franco were very pleasant hosts, as was their son Marco. I think we liked Firenze the best out of the cities we visited (Bologna, and Rome were the others), but found fascinating things in each city we saw. Thanks again for the great experience, we will definitely keep you in mind for future trips to Italy! |

| In my opinion, this beats a hotel any day! | Nov 2005 |
We had a wonderful time and the apartment was great. It is well-appointed and well-situated. Marco checked us in and out and was very amiable. He was very concerned that all our needs were met. The welcoming bottle of wine was a wonderful touch. I would recommend it to anyone going to Florence. I also really appreciated the info you sent before we arrived. I have traveled extensively and didn't need the travel tips but I liked having a heads-up about the near-by restaurants, markets, and shopping. I have suggested to a few people they visit your website if they are planning a trip to Italy. In my opinion, this beats a hotel any day! I was lucky to have discovered your site. Thanks for everything. |
