Our family of 5 loved this place. Much more space than we expected, clean and comfortable. Great restaurant and small grocery store steps away. 5 minute walk to train station and short walk to the busy areas of Florence.
Great place. Location was perfect. Owner was flexible with check in and gave great advice on restaurants and neighbourhood. Would definitely book again
Property was as advertised, comfortable, spacious and clean. It had everything you would need for either a one night stay or a week. Centerally located so perfect for visiting Florence. The host responded very quickly on all questions. I would stay there again.
The location was great close to everything. It was very clean and our family enjoyed it. The apartment is very well layed out & the kitchen is very well equipped. Save some energy at the end of the day for the stairs.

Perfect location with a lovely walk near amazing cafes and great sights to see.
The property itself is very roomy and clean. Sofia was a terrific host, and very accommodating. Could not have asked for more.
We enjoyed our stay at Under the Roof of Sofia. Very convenient to the sites of Florence as well as the train station. The place was very clean and comfortable. Was on the third floor with no elevator, so may be an issue for some. Would stay there again.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Sofia has a lovely home that was perfect for our family of seven. Communication was great, and the apartment was comfortable and pretty well appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Florence!
Our family of 4 adults enjoyed the cool and funky space to rest after long days exploring the beautiful, historic city and nearby countryside. Sofia was very responsive and helpful and, upon arrival, Fabrizio met us at the door to show us the apartment. Thank you!
This beautiful apartment is a short walk from the train station. We met Sofia very briefly, and then were checked in by Fabrizio who was kind, helpful, and quickly responded to a question we had the next day.My wife and 4 kids all enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend staying here, and if we ever came back with a group/family of 4-6, we would certainly stay here again!
