We had this apartment as a change from hotels in the middl3leg of our trip around Italy.The apartment was stylish and comfortable with a full kitchen, sofa,dining table. We made ourselves comfortable, did our laundry and ate in a few times, supermarket and icecream shop are literally 2 minutes away. Great location to walk to all the attractions.

The property is in an excellent location as in it is located in an extremely central location. Close to all the great sites. The room was spacious and the bathroom was large. However not suitable for an elderly person as there is a big step out of the shower/bath. The biggest issue was the air conditioning unit - it was very noisy and not that effective. We had the windows open but had to close them due to the drain smell and mosquitos. But really it was about a 7.5/10 overall.
Loved the building, it is close to the Coliseum and other attractions in Rome.
It is very convenient and confortable. We would definitely recommend staying here.
The location is perfect and close to the main attractions. We felt very safe. Since we were renting an apartment with kitchen it would have been nice to have a few simple spices to cook with as we planned on eating in a couple times.
The location is out of this world wonderful. The hotel staff was good. The room was large and comfortable. The only downside was it was on the second floor with no elevator.

Location, location, location
Our stay here was all about location and it can't be beat. Just steps to the Duomo and all the history of Florence. If you are going for the room this is not your place. But if you want a great place to stay while you explore the beauty of Florence this place is perfect.
The location of this property was perfect! The bathroom had some wood rot by the shower and you had to step up pretty high to get into it. This would be difficult for someone with bad knees. But everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We were able to control the heat and air for our room.
Spacious room that included a mini bar fridge a dining table, and a huge bathroom. Everything was nice and clean, but the best part is that is right in the middle of the turist atttactions of the area. No complains at all and for sure I would use them again
We went to the address indicated in the booking. That was an office which explained everything as per booking and informed us the apartment was areound 200 meters from the office.
We were pointed there and a person came to show us the flat. The conditions on the flat were very clean. The flat was very quiet.
There are some local supermarkets in walking distance and plenty of restaurants and museums nearby.
The last day we could leave the baggage on the offices and we could enjoy a little bit more the town before departure.

The location is excellent! Location is unbeatable. As we love being in the center / heart of beautiful Florence. There is an organic store named Eataly just opposite of the hotel. We had our breakfast and coffee there. It’s convenient. Our room was clean and spacious even the hotel is a very old building. It is a basically simple hotel. The staff are wonderful and friendly. We enjoyed staying in this hotel.
Good location close to main tourist areas. We hadn't realized that the apartment we rented was not at the same location as the main hotel where our friends had booked.
This apartment is conveniently is located right on the Arno River near the Ponte Vecchio. The view is amazing. There is a large bedroom, two bathrooms and living space with a full kitchen and table. The building is secure with a keyed entrance located at the back of the apartment building. The only trouble is finding it the first time. The check in process was easy. We called and someone met us within 10 minutes. The bed was very comfortable and there was air conditioning - a plus since it got a bit hot even in October. We were there for 4 nights and the service came and freshened up our linens and towels after the second night. This apartment was the perfect place to stay in Florence. The only downside is that the back alley had a small restaurant and it was a bit noisy with the talking and moving of furniture so if you are a light sleeper, bring some ear plugs just in case. Overall this apartment is a great value with a perfect location.
We loved the apartment, with its spaciousness and high location (we could look across rooftops). All was clean and organised -- no complaints. Ricardo met us at 11 Moro and explained everything and gave us a map. There is an elevator part way up (which helps). (we are older travellers). I would highly recommend this property.
Good for a short stay. Excellent location in the middle of it all. Depending on the days you are there, you are pretty much on your own. We stayed the weekend, and didnt see anyone at the front desk until Monday. Room was clean with no frills. Bathroom was small but sufficient. Would recommend for a short stay.
This is a beautiful apartment, perfect, tasteful couldn’t ask for anything more. Just know that when you book and it says “the annex” this is a totally different building a distance away. However it is just beside the river and maybe 10minutes to the Duomo.
This was a wonderful little apartment that is right in the heart of everything. We were able to see all of Florence in a day from this wonderful little spot.

Nice location in central Florence
I stayed 3 nights in an apartment owned by Tourist House Ricci together with 2 friends. The apartment was 5 minutes walk from the hotel but the location was still great and in walking distance to all the main attractions in Florence. The apartment was also nice but we were 3 friends and our booking confirmation said 2 single beds and a double bed, whereas we ended up with a double bed and a sofa bed - so not quite what we expected and also not great since non of us where a couple. I personally slept on the sofa bed, which was OK but not great particular when you have got a bad back - so would have been nice if the apartment have lived up to what we actually booked. The reception staff was nice but please be aware that the reception has limited opening hours. I was flying into Florence on an evening flight - so I was lucky my other friends could be there early otherwise I wouldn't have been able to check in. The last point was that there was no cleaning service during our stay. Would have been nice if things were refreshed a bit on a daily basis. Otherwise OK but yes didn't quite live up to our expectations.
Great accommodation, comfortable bed. Walking distance to major sights. Our room had a little kitchenette. Best hair dryer I’ve had in a hotel room!

Our stay was comfortable, walking distance from everything, almost on the doorstep of Duomo. The room was spacious, quiet and very comfortable! I will recommend it any day! Only complaint is a lot of steps to reception and possibly to your room if lift does not work. Especially with baggage. The staff was very helpful and friendly!

Check in was closed at 6:30 pm. We arrived around 9:00 pm. They charged us additional 50 euro for late check in.
We had a brilliant time in Florence, the proprietors was really friendly and helpful. He walked us to our apartment in the Republic square. The location was amazing, convenient to absolutely everything. The apartment was really big and everyone had plenty of space. I would recommend this to anyone.
We loved our stay in the 3 bedroom apartment - Ricci House. It was spacious, well decorated, private and clean. The host was very accomodating. The 3 bedroom apartment was also well positioned to the heart of Florence including Duomo, Statue of David, Leather markets, restaurants and train station.
Check in is until 6:30 pm, so I was told that if I was going to arrive later I would have to pay 30€ extra. I sent a message complaining about this as there's no information about extra charges for late check in. I arrived at 7:30 pm and did the check in with no problem. They didn't charge me for that. This company manages other properties in Florence Downtown, so I got assigned a nice apartment, suitable for my crew (4 people), very well located. We stayed for two nights and had a good experience with this booking.
The check in was speedy and the room itself was a good size (be aware check in times are limited). The location was good and the bed was comfortable. There was air conditioning but it wasn’t particularly effective (but better than nothing).
The WiFi worked well.
