This  was about our 6th or 7th rental in Europe and it was far and away the best.  The apartment itself was terrific - clean and roomy.

The location was perfect - nice, safe neighborhood away from the noise, but still within walking distance of everything.  Food shopping at Il Centro was very handy and the little Salumeria?? a block away was very nice.  We cooked a number of meals in because of the rainy week, and the kitchen was well-equipped. (The first place we have found really good cooking knives!) The american style coffee maker was nice.

Cindy was a great host - little touches like a cell phone, a bottle of olive oil, and a ride to the train station were very nice. If you are willing to share her e-mai, address, we would love to send her a "Thank You" note.

She has also solved the internet problem with Macintosh computers - a connection to a city-wide wi-fi network.

We would recommend this apartment and your service to anyone.

Best regards, Dave and Sally

Our ten days in Florence were made even more wonderful by this amazing jewel of an apartment located in a clean, quiet and safe neighborhood just east of the city hub. Everything, and I really mean everything, was within easy walking distance which enabled us to experience Florence the very best way: on foot. As an added bonus to our daily walk, we were able to amble along beside the beautiful Arno going to and from the apartment. For the day trips we took (to Siena, Lucca, Borgo San Lorenzo and Rome) we were easily able to walk to both the train and bus stations.

The apartment itself was immaculate and well furnished, and the greeter was very helpful in getting us oriented. She was also available for questions and suggestions throughout our stay which was a lifesaver when arranging for multiple cabs to the airport on the day of our departure!

I will also add that the cost of the apartment was extremely reasonable, and Italy Perfect's prorating policy made planning easy and economical.

All of the information that Italy Perfect sent in advance provided us with time-saving knowledge so that our time in Florence was spent doing things we wanted to do, not in trying to figure out how to navigate in a foriegn city. Grazie! The greeter provided us with many suggestions for dining and grocery shopping, so, again, we didn't waste time spinning our wheels.

My favorite feature of the apartment: two full bathrooms! For two couples this streamlined our daily schedule immensely.

I would highly, and without reservation, recommend the services of Italy Perfect, and will most certainly consider using them again myself when planning another trip abroad. Again, thank you for your professional attention to all the details.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Vespucci. It is an excellent apartment, very well appointed with everything we needed, including lots of guide books and tips. The owner is a superb hostess, who was especially helpful in guiding us through the car parking ordeal when we arrived just minutes before a performance at Teatro Comunale. It might be nice to mention the proximity to Florence's main concert hall/opera house for those who might want to get tickets in advance. The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet, but we were able to easily walk everywhere, even twice to Piazza Michaelangelo across the city. However if you want to spend a lot of time in the Santa Croce area, this is on the other side of town. We especially recommend the sculpture museum at the Bargello and the museum behind the Duomo. They are smaller, accessible and superb. We also enjoyed San Miniato, a church with a wonderful view of the city.

This apartment was very clean, roomy and light-filled.There are many great books, umbrellas, a spare room for luggage, and a great kitchen. The wifi worked well and we had 2 computers with us. The location next to the river was beautiful and within 2 blocks we found a great supermarket, butcher, and deli. Within 10 minutes (walking) were many great restaurants. Our hosts were very helpful and concerned that we were happy. As Italy Perfect recommends, travel with ear plugs. This is a noisy city, either with traffic and pedestrian noise or adjacent apartment noise due to very old building structure. We could hear a good bit of noise from the apartment above but the ear plugs worked well for sleeping. We cooked 2 delicious meals and the kitchen and roominess of the apartment made my husband, myself, and our adult daughter perfectly content. Although the apartment is located towards the perimeter of the city, if we got too tired we took a taxi. They were everywhere, professional and reasonably priced (under 10 euro from the Duomo). Il Latini was a fun, good place for dinner. Unfortunately the others are not coming to mind. The best gelato is across the 2nd bridge. Wish I could have some now! Ciao for now.

Hosts were super; location extremely quiet; nice size; amenities were more than adequate; markets, restaurants, stores, ATM’s all very convenient… river and neighborhood location was great for us as a family…again..Roberto was an awesome host along with his wife…she called a cab for us that was greatly appreciated….

Vespucci Apartment was terrific. The apartment was very clean. It had everything you needed for short or long stays. Cindy, the host, was super nice and helpful. The location was great if you don't mind walking to major attractions. Less noise and traffic than in the center of Florence. Food, produce, wine and cafe within walking distance. Would highly recommend and would stay there again.
