IL GRANDUCA Cozy Apartment

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : The apartment was pretty spacious and newly renovated, situated in a nice quartier, nearby some nice cafes and restaurants. A couple of minutes' walk to the canal and the Boboli Gardens. The sleeping room was very very nice spacious and clean. The sofa bad was super comfortable as well.
  : It was on the last (4th or 5th) floor without an elevator, so brace yourself if you have heavy luggage. Poor, almost zero pre-booking communication, no answers for phone calls or left vocal messages.

  : The location is terrific. It's very comfortable and convenient. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. Would definitely book again.
  : There wasn't anything we disliked. Folks with mobility issues should know there is no elevator - 4 flights of stairs to climb.

Traveller Type:
  : great location and it has everything you need. Two AC units which is amazing cause it does get really hot in Firenze during the summer months
  : it is of course on the 3rd floor without an elevator (66 steps) which we knew before and after a long hot day the stairs can seem endless..

Disappointing

  : The property is very well located. There are plenty of cafes/restaurants and stores nearby, and we were within walking distance of most things we wanted to see or do. The apartment was spacious, clean and had some lovely natural lighting. The kitchen, although small, was decently outfitted with the essentials which allowed us to make a few lovely meals and keep fresh fruits and snacks in the fridge. The wifi was very good and reliable as well. The nearby Conad on Via dei Bardi was a staple for us - theyve got everything you need from food (including great gluten-free options) to household essentials and all at a fair price.
  : The noise levels in the apartment building was something we werent quite expecting. There were a few nights where we could hear someone in the unit below us walking around (sounded like thumping) and doing things in their kitchen and when wed look at the time it was just past 2am. Sound also travels a fair bit in these older buildings so in the mornings when people were leaving their apartments, we could hear loud bangs from the heavy doors closing and footsteps in the halls since its all tile flooring. We also heard a fair bit of noise from outside on a few occasions in the middle of the night. Additionally, we felt it odd that the apartment was not equipped with additional garbage bags for keeping the place tidied. We also ran out of paper towel and toilet paper after a couple days so we just bought some from the nearby Conad, and used old plastic shopping bags for the garbages. For people staying a couple days it probably isnt a big deal, but we were there for over a week so it was a bit tougher.

Traveller Type:
  : All the facilities were good.
  : We had to wait for one hour for the person to come to do check in!!! We had to sit on the floor for one hour with all of our luggage. There was no place open near by we could walk to because we had to many things with us. It was not okay that only one person was doing the check-ins across the city and there for we had to sit on the floor in the street.

Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : The location is excellent, right next to Pitti Palace and walking distance to Florence downtown. The apartment is recently renovated, very comfortable, has everything you need.
  : Poor communication with the agency administrating the apartment. Slow replying, unclear requests. I had to ask 3-4 times before I managed to change the dates of my stay. 3 weeks after we left the apartment and still we have not been provided the invoice as requested. Too bad, the apartment is really nice, really deserves top rating. As for the apartment, mosquito nets would be nice (not too many mosquitos, but still) and an anti-slip mat in the shower.
