There are plenty of options in all of the towns depending on what you were looking for. We wanted a place with a balcony that could sleep three adult men. We just just that. It was a two level apartment right in the heart of Riomaggiore. We had a balcony overlooking the harbor and we each had our own room. And the price was better than most hotels and other apartments in the area. + Place also had free WiFi - Make sure you figure out when and how you are going to meet landlord. Payphones are hard to find.

We had an amazing stay through A Casa Cinque Terre. Our apartment was clean, well located, and…read moreaffordable. I took some of my best pictures of my Italian trip from the deck and the stunning view of Monorola. I posted one on the A Casa Cinque Terre Facebook wall. Also it is really nice renting from a local company, and folks who have lived in the Cinque Terre for generations... Both in that it supports locals and they are a wealth of information and advice about what to do in the region. They are thoughtful, prompt and easy to communicate with, I would choose this option over hotels or airbnb again and again, and plan to in the near future.

A warm and cosy place to call home during your stay in Florence. This apartment sleeps up to four…read morepeople. It is a one bedroom apartment with a queen sized bed and a pull-out couch that is very comfortable for kids or another couple. All of the furniture is new and tasteful (mostly from IKEA). There is a spacious kitchen, complete with all the essential gear for cooking or baking. There is also a toaster, Italian Moka Pot (Espresso), Teapot, dishwasher, refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, oven and of course many (new) plates , bowls, utensils, wine glasses etc. The bathroom is clean and bright which includes sink, toilet and shower. One of the nicest features of the apartment is the small intimate terrace that seats two people and is fantastic for a romantic morning coffee or having a glass of wine at sunset . The apartment gets its' name "tra i tetti" or "among the rooftops" from the beautiful view of the Italian terra-cotta rooftops. The apartment is on the top floor so the view is quite nice. That being said, those with knee problems or who are not able to do stairs, this apartment may be problematic because the apartment is on the top floor of a building with no elevator. If you are here for the first time, the location of the apartment couldn't be more perfect. It's only 5 minutes from the central train station and easy to walk to. Plus you are right in the center of Florence! Being on the top floor there is very little noise once the windows are closed. There are no trash bins on this street so you won't be bothered by the noisy garbage collectors that come early in the morning. The apartment has all your basic needs ready upon check-in. All linen and towels are provided, as well as your basic condiments for cooking like oil, salt, sugar, coffee, tea and soap for dishes and laundry. Check in/out times are often flexible as well. Great place to call home for first time visitors or seasoned travelers of this beautiful city.

We rented a one-bedroom apartment from Apartments Florence for 10 months in the centre of Oltrarno…read morein Florence. We are both professionals working remotely, and we looked for a place we could live peacefully and enjoy everything Florence has to offer. It's fair to say, the apartment we have rented was nicely done and had a terrace with a great view. Sadly, for month's we experienced a flurry of incidents involving various malfunctions, breakages, unpleasant correspondences, lack of respect for our privacy, culminating in (completely unjustified) legal threats from AF. Firstly, the apartment was advertised as being 'on third floor'. However, it was in the attic, 77 steps up - so more like 5th floor. Which is clear misinformation. Secondly, the apartment was not properly cleaned when we arrived, it was very dusty, as if nobody had checked it before our arrival, and there was broken glass on the terrace, which we cleaned ourselves. Thirdly, the washing machine was out of order for 2 weeks since the beginning of our arrival. AF took a fair amount of time to fix it and never apologised for the inconvenience. The internet was not working properly for our last month (June) and it stopped completely for the last week all together when we were organising our return back to the UK. AP failed to fix it or reimburse us for the inconvenience. The roof window in the bathroom, not only didn't open from day one, but also was leaking when it rained. We reported it immediately (when we noticed back in September), but it was not fixed until the end of November, forcing us to endure cold water leaking on our heads while using the bathroom. Electrics in the flat were failing through the whole autumn and winter, lights were flickering, the gas alarm beeping, and safety electric fuses going off leaving us without electricity through the night on one occasion. Upon inspection by electricians, melted wires connected to one of the light fittings were discovered inside the wall. AP ignored our enquiry to provide valid EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) or Italian equivalent that assesses the safety and condition of a property's existing electrical wiring. On top of that, throughout September, May and June, when temperatures in Florence reached 40 degrees, AC in the flat was barely sufficient. In addition to the above, the manner with which AF dealt with the correspondence and our day to day enquires, was to say at least, unprofessional on many occasions. Despite of us always paying the rent and utility bills on time, replying to all their requests and doing our best to allow all technicians attending the flat, AF did not always show a similar level of curtesy. They did not inform us about the owner putting the flat on a market - we found out by accident when they brought people round in the middle of our working day! Imagine, complete strangers entering your place when you are in the middle of the online meeting! Despite our concerns, viewings continued, the subject of any discount or reimbursement for our inconvenience, was never even considered by AF. Finally, when we firmly said no to someone attending the flat when it was inconvenient for us, they pushed without any scruples threatening us with a legal action. At the end of our tenancy, when we left the flat before the end of the term, we cleaned it spotlessly, paid all final bills before time and asked them kindly to return our deposit asap but were told the contract allows them to be withheld it for another 30 days. When they did finally return it they had inexplicably deducted €160! Regretfully, we would not recommend renting a property through Apartments of Florence.

My daughter had a very disappointing semester stay in the Buontalenti Exclusive apartment. While…read morethe apartment was nice and as pictured in the online photos, there was a MAJOR mechanical disruption in the apartment for over 6 weeks of her stay! A very loud, high pitched drilling noise that CONSTANTLY came from the HVAC unit. My daughter and I contacted the agency over and over, and the noise was NEVER repaired. It truly was torturous. My daughter was given the run around for weeks and weeks and kept being told parts were ordered and mechanics were going to repair the noise. I called and emailed from the US dozens of times and never communicated with the same person. I asked to speak with the owner and this was never allowed. Their attitude was "this is beyond our control" and all we can do is"strongly urge" the owner to repair the noise. At exam time when it became obvious the agency had no intention of helping my daughter, I asked for her to use another nearby empty apartment to study and sleep. At first this request was completely denied despite all she had suffered for weeks. After a few days, they said she would have to completely move out of her present apartment into the new apartment during finals. Mind you, this was with only a week left of the lease. After all of the inconvenience and complete failure to help in any way or offer any solution for my daughter,, I asked for a fair credit on the rent (which was over $3500 a month). All they offered was a $150 credit on the already sky high utility bills. I stated this was not acceptable for the months long unlivable condition, and they seriously did not care and offered nothing else. Please take my advice and do NOT rent from this poorly managed agency. Don't let the nice photos online fool you- if anything major goes wrong in the apartment, they will not follow through with repairs. Several of my daughter's friends also rented from Apartments Florence and also had serious maintenance issues. One friend went without hot water for over 2 weeks. My security deposit also wasn't returned within the 30 days specified in the lease, and I had to contact the agency several times inquiring about the refund. I'm sad to say that this agency seems to take advantage of American students.

The hotel is off a busy road about 4km from the leaning tower. Cheap and good for one night. P.S.
