Wonderful time at Sofia's place

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.

Great stay

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.

Amazing location

I booked this property because of its proximity (around the block) from the train station Firenze SMN. What I did not expect was that the location was on a vibrant street in the historic area of Florence. It was completely walkable. 10 minutes to the Duomo and 18 min to the Uffizi. Property is well described on the website. Don't be alarmed by the stairwell, which is not in the best condition - the apartment is great. Large, clean and full of character. The upstairs bathroom has a really low ceiling and my kids ended up using our bathroom downstairs. The downstairs bathroom is great. Kitchen is well appointed. We arrived by train at about 7:40 PM and there was an extra charge for "late check in." Keep this in mind while planning. I would absolutely stay here again.

A beautiful comfortable and convenient place!

I have to say this apartment was even prettier and roomier than the photos! Beware it is on the fourth floor but the hosts carried my bag up for me which was very kind! The apartment had everything I needed and was super convenient to the sights and the train station! Restaurants close by were plentiful as well as shopping of all kinds.I really enjoyed my stay under the roof of Sofia!

Super fun, quirky apartment in a quiet building not far from the train station. The duomo is a short walk away and the neighborhood has lots of restaurants. Host is very thoughtful and the communication is great. Be advised there is no elevator, which is very common.

Like they say for real estate, location, location, location. This is a great spot, only a couple blocks from the train station and walkable to many of the attractions. It's near the busy markets but just far enough away to be in a quiet space. The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable. The upstairs steps take a bit to gets used to, but are useable even by us older folks. The upper bath ceilings are low, making the spacious lower bathroom more popular. The shower is fairly small but works well. We didn't do any cooking there, but it seemed to be well equipped. I would stay at this location again if visit Firenze again.

Great Location

We couldn’t have asked for a better location and place to tour from. Literally 5 minutes walk but worlds away from the train station, and plenty of coffee shops, groceries and restaurants within a couple blocks. We were able to easily walk to all attractions and beat the crowds daily. Recommend the Crown of India restaurant right on the street. Communication with the VRBO host was prompt and friendly. We had no problems.
