Particularly like the balcony which gets the sun in the morning, great for breakfast.
Area is quiet and yet not far from the main railway station, so it was an easy walk to the flat. There is also a lift which helps with the luggage. We were met at the apartment and shown around the flat, communication was good.

Sarah & Jordan were great hosts, very attentive and responsive to our communication. There's an AC unit in each room that blows cold air (perfect during the summer months). It's a little bit of a walk from the train station, but certainly not long enough to complain. There's a nice Kabob restaurant on the corner of the street that sells good falafel sand cold Peroni's. It's a scenic walk once you get to the train station, roughly 30-35 minutes to the various plazas. We stayed during the weekend so none of the coffee shops near the apartment were open in the morning (however, there's a coffee maker in the apt!), oh, don't plan on ordering coffee to go, the culture here is to drink the coffee in house And of course, enjoy the moment.

The owner met us and told us how to get around (shops, buses, what to see, etc).
Apartment itself was clean and tidy, secure on a small, quiet street. Two bathrooms, WiFi, large living room, two balcony, two sets of keys ( don't have to stick with each other all the time). Close to a train station, in a walking distance to most of historical places. If you are keen to get around on your feet, then you'll see much more than guest guide tells you...
If you are looking for all listed above, then this apartment is the place to stay.

We stayed in this apartment for a long weekend (18-20 March). Good location and an easy walk from Santa Maria Novella station. Apartment was lovely and quiet. Everything you needed to get yourself going in the kitchen such as tea, coffee, sugar, washing up liquid, tea towels etc. Lovely that there is a balcony to the front of the apartment and due to the lovely weather we were lucky enough to have, we sat out first thing in the morning. Beds were comfortable. Nice to have good sized towels in the bathrooms and plenty of toilet rolls. Heating and hot water also very good. The only thing to point out are the windows which do rattle but it certainly did not spoil our stay and would definitely recommend. If you hired a car during your stay what a bonus that there is a parking space which is very unusual for Florence.

Apartment was superb, very spacious for the 2 of us with 2 decent sized bedrooms and a bathroom each. Kitchen was nicely fitted out with all you'd need. The place was light and airy with the 2 balconies. Loved being able to sprawl across a sofa each.

Good location, about 20 mins walk to the touristy heart of Florence and 3 mins walk from a bus stop. There's a good sized supermarket less than 10 mins away and a number of local restaurants too. We were given a very warm welcome from Jordan who met us at the apartment despite our arrival being later than planned due to a delayed flight.

The Variopinto Apartment provided everything we needed during our three months stay in Florence. Perfectly located six or so blocks north of the main train station, the apartment was within walking distance of almost every site we visited and provided easy access to the train and bus stations for trips into other parts of Italy. The apartment had all the amenities of home: air conditioning, heat, a local phone, fully-equipped kitchen, WiFi, television and, best of all, a weekly cleaning service. It also had an elevator for delivering us and our baggage to the third floor. The building in which the apartment is located was in a quiet neighborhood, removed from tourists and noise. The sister/brother managers, Sara and Jorden, were wonderful. They responded quickly to any request or problem we faced. They could not have been more helpful or more delightful. It was indeed an pleasure to deal with such fine young Italians.
