"We have stayed here before, and as always, the hosts were welcoming and helpful and the accomodations were very comfortable. The location is perfect, a short walk to the center, museums and the Arno, and there's a great café for your morning cappuccino and brioche right across the street. The area has many elegant shops and good restaurants nearby, so over-all a very good experience. I would definitely recommend these accommodations and Italy Perfect to friends."

"We had a wonderful time at the Prisco apartment ! The location was perfect and the greeters were wonderful! Everything was as advertised. Large, bright, centrally located flat with all you need to be comfortable. We read the reviews and anticipated it would be noisy do we're not surprised but once you closed the shutters in the bedroom you can sleep comfortably. We look forward to returning in the future."

"The Pasquino apartment, near Piazza Navona, is a beautifully furnished apartment with plenty of space that is very well kept. But its main advantage is its spectacular location, such that all of the major sites in Rome are within walking distance, while the apartment itself is very quiet. Given that much of the interesting activity in Rome happens fairly late in the evening by our standards, it was nice to go straight from being at the heart of activity to bed in only a few minutes. Baffetto Pizzeria, nearby, is excellent for very reasonable quality pizza (better than some of the other local tourist traps) but always has a queue - suggest turning up at opening time. The gelateria opposite it (Frigidarium) was the best we found in Rome, but it appears that others have found it too as it also often has queues. I strolled each morning to Il Fornaio (the bakery just on the other side of the main road) to pick up pastries for breakfast, and by the third visit they were recognising me and treating me as a regular, which is always nice. The presence of a nespresso machine in the apartment was greatly appreciated. Finally, there was some necessary building maintenance done during the period we stayed, but Italy Perfect kept in touch with us about what was going on and worked hard to make sure we weren't put out by this. Overall, strong recommend."

"We had a great vacation in Rome! We traveled with our three sons ages 12, 15 and 18 and had plenty of room. The main living area is very roomy and has a big dining table. The kitchen was tiny and there was no oven but we were able to make breakfast every day and a few simple dinners. There were many restaurants in the area and a grocery store only a few blocks away. Remember that you are right in the thick of the action so it was a little bit noisy at night so maybe bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Our greeter was fabulous and answered all of our questions and even gave us her cell phone for if we had more. We really had no complaints though note that the bathroom (the main one) only has a hand held shower in a tub which took some getting used to. Water pressure was great. The bathroom with a toilet and a sink is so tiny you can barely turn around but it so nice to have two toilets and two sinks. Thanks for a great stay."

"This four-bedroom, three-bath apartment is spacious, well-furnished, and lovely. Everything was perfect. We especially liked the neighborhood -- close enough to walk to all the sites but not touristy. There are many wonderful restaurants in the neighborhood. We especially liked Romeo and a family run restaurant next door to Romeo on Via Silla. [Thank you so much for your kind review and nice restaurant recommendations, too. The Italy Perfect Team]"

"This is a wonderful place to stay in Florence. It's location is quiet and yet close to the centre. You are within easy walking distance of all the main tourist destinations. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and attractive. The owners could not be more accommodating and friendly - I would recommend this to anyone"

My family and I stayed (total of 6 people) for 5 nights in this beautiful and comfortable apartment. It was a great idea instead of going to a typical hotel. The location is perfect: safe, nice, near many stores and restaurants, and at walking distance of almost all you would like to see in Rome.

"The Pasquino apartment was exactly as pictured. Clean, roomy, and conveniently located. As a family with two teenagers, we appreciated the two bathrooms, two bedrooms and all the room in the apartment. No complaints on the wifi speed from the teenagers. Our greeter was very helpful in showing us the apartment, appliances and neighborhood. The location could not be beat. We were right around the corner from Piazza Navona, a mile away from the Vatican and a little over a mile to the Colosseum. We walked everywhere! Plenty of restaurants and gelato shops right outside the door. The grocery store is very close and so is Campo de' Fiore. It was so nice to have some staples in the apartment. Taxi stand was close by for our longer trip to the catacombs. We miss hearing the nightly accordion music from the restaurants below. We felt safe in neighborhood. Enjoyed all the restaurants. We ate at the restaurants at Piazza Pasquino (right outside the door), Piazza Navona, Piazza Rotunda (Pantheon) and Campo de' Fiore. Note worthy restaurants - Piazza Pasquino : Cul de Sac, Pizzeria di Baffetto; Campo de' Fiore - Obica. We would recommend Italy Perfect to a friend and we will use them again for our next Italy trip. Italy Perfect was easy to work with, supplied great trip planning resources and answered all my questions during the planning process. We used one of transportation services recommended by Italy Perfect, Stefano. Their drivers were friendly and prompt. Thanks to Italy Perfect and the Pasquino apartment we had an awesome trip. [Dear Anna Maria. We all thank you for your comments and appreciation. It is mutual. The Italy Perfect Team.]"

"This apartment was fantastic, perfect location, highly comfortable, and the deck was awesome. My wife and I would definately stay here again! [Wonderful, John. We would certainly welcome you again! The Italy Perfect Team]"

"This was my second time staying at the Prisco apartment. The apartment is so comfortable and has anything and everything that you need to make your stay wonderful. The greeters are the owners and they take such great care and pride of their apartments. They are also available for questions and advice as you need it. The location of this apartment is fantastic. It seems that you can go anywhere in Florence in 10 minutes. Great bakery downstairs and many good restaurants on the area. Italy Perfect also provides you with great information on Florence and many recommendations for shopping and eating which was immensely helpful. Perfect trip back to Florence again!! I would most definitely recommend this apartment to anyone going to Florence. Thanks"

"We have been to Florence several times, and the little house of Casetta Bonsi was perfect for us. It's in a fantastic location and very well kept. It was clean, secure, and yet had all the modern conveniences. It was literally minutes from a grocery store, and there are several wonderful coffee bars and restaurants in the vicinity. I would highly recommend this place for 2-4 people. There is only one bedroom."

"My wife and I enjoyed 5 days in Firenze and the accommodations at apartment Michaela. The location is perfect, with many excellent food and shopping choices right outside the main entrance. Michaela is an easy 10 minute walk to Santa Maria Novella train and within 5-15 minute stroll to all of Firenze's treasures, Having two bath rooms was a welcomed convenience."

"We recently stayed at the Memoria apartment, and I can't say enough good things about it. The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was even better than it appears on the ItalyPerfect website. Very spacious - more than enough room for 4 people - and the location is amazing. It was fun to watch the activity in the street below, and how the light changed during the evening as the sun set. Our greeter was also excellent - she explained how things worked, was available for questions during our stay in the apartment, and even gave us shopping tips and helped us pick out some leather bags and coats.This was our second time renting an apartment in Florence from ItalyPerfect. And we will rent from then again during our next trip to Italy! I would recommend ItalyPerfect to others planning a trip to Florence."

"We have nothing negative to say about the apartment. It was clean, quiet and had plenty of space for our large family (2 adult, 4 kids). It was walkable to most of the sights. There's an easy bus to catch to get to the coloseum area. Lots of restaurants around. We were very happy here and wouldn't even look anywhere else if we returned."
Alicia
"Our apartment, the Strozzi was perfect for my sister and I, the location could not be better and Mikki was so delightful. I would recommend this apartment highly. Loved, loved our stay"
Linda
"Overall, the accommodations were very nice and the apartment was very spacious. There are some areas of the apartment that although clean appeared dated and in need of a cosmetic update. The stairwells, staircases and basement where the garbage cans were located were in need of a good cleaning - they appeared quite dirty.The location was perfect! The apartment was centrally located and walking distance to most everything. I would recommend 'Da Emma' for a simple but quaint meal - and very good pizza!We also enjoyed Campo di Fiore and the market that set up there each morning. Would definitely stay again and recommend to a friend. Grazie mille! [We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and the great location. Sorry to hear that some of the common areas of the building needed attention. We don't have any control over that but we'll let the building manager know.]"

"This apartment was well maintained and very comfortable. The owner and manager were both very friendly and helpful . They truly made us feel at home, and were wonderful to deal with. We rented this apartment for my husband, myself and our three university aged children and there was plenty of room. The street noise is rather loud at night but this is offset by the location which affords both a wonderful view and access to many shops and restaurants . I very much enjoyed my time in Florence and I would stay in this apartment again. A heartfelt thank-you to Cecile who made us feel very welcome in our temporary home! [Dear Ann Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted you and your family enjoyed the apartment, Florence and the service provided by the manager, Cecile. This particular apartment is low in the building and the layout does allow the sounds of people in the piazza (it isn't traffic) to enter the apartment. Other nice apartments in this same building are organized and insulated so the sounds in the piazza don’t reach sleepers. The Italy Perfect team]"

"What a great vacation and what a great apartment. Thank you so much for guiding us toward the Pasquino apartment. It was exactly, exactly right for us. And I have already passed the information along to a friend. I hope to be back in touch in the future to arrange another visit to Italy!"

"This is a wonderful, large apartment in the heart of Florence. We walked everywhere from this central location. The apartment is in a building with an elevator - something that was appreciated after busy full days of sightseeing. It is very comfortable, with a large couch in the well lit living room. The kitchen was very nice, and very functional - including a toaster and an American style coffee maker. The bedroom was huge! Once the windows and shutters were closed, there was no sound or light from outside. The bed was so comfortable, I needed to struggle to get up in the morning! The bathroom was very nice and modern, with plenty of storage room. And above all else, the apartment was very clean. I know that we will want to stay here on our next visit to Florence."

"We've spent many weeks in Firenze across decades of travel in Italy ... the Prisco apartment is one of the nicest we have rented. Location is fantastic in the main shopping area, close to restaurants, shops and sights ... also only a short walk to the delights of the Oltrarno. What made it extra special, however, was the help we received from the delightful owners, Miki and Franco. I arrived with a sudden and crippling back injury and within hours, they had arranged a wheelchair through the tourist office, which saved our vacation! More drama ensued upon departure! Late on the evening before, my husband discovered that the elevator was not working. It would have been nearly impossible to get me and our baggage downstairs without it. He called Miki and Franco, who promised they would arrive at 8am and that the elevator would be repaired promptly. They were better than prompt, but brought with them the bad news that a lightning strike had been called for that day by the transit workers and an airport taxi could not be pre-arranged. But dear Miki patted my shoulder and told me not too worry, that she would get things in order. Long story short is that the lift was repaired quickly, a taxi waited outside .... I descended and was met by a line of uniformed repairmen who all shook my hand and assisted my husband with loading our baggage and me into our taxi. When I asked Miki how she had achieved this miracle, she told me she had simply explained to both elevator service and taxi office that she had an injured VIP guest at her apartment who MUST make her flight to Paris and on to her hospital appointment there, and everyone rallied to the common goal! We adored the spacious and lovely apartment and will always make it our base in Firenze, but we especially loved meeting Miki and Franco .... two of the dearest people ever. Please give them our heartfelt gratitude for turning a challenging event for us into a delightful memory .... they were lifesavers from start to finish of our stay! And, to Pat and Lisa .... this is our second rental with you (the previous was a week in Rome) ..... We have loved the apartments ... also the info you provide in advance, which is the best and most thorough of any rental agency in a long history of renting homes and apartments in Europe. We applaud you and will remain loyal clients! Sorry it took me such a long time to complete this form .... the back is healing and we look forward to renting with you again!"
