Florence Never Disappoints

We stayed for 4 days in Florence, Elizabetta's apt hit all the highlights for our family. Location is fantastic, tram arrives out front, The Acedemia restaurant just below is a wonderful friendly local restaurant to meet all your needs after a long day of sightseeing. Florence never disappoints and our family would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Short stay. Great location! Lovely apartment.

2 night stay. Traveling with husband and teen. Communication with host worked well through VRBO app. Host met us outside apartment as planned and gave us a quick tour of the apartment. Elisabetta was very pleasant to deal/communicate with. The light in one bathroom was not working and we had issues with toilet in the other bathroom where flushing mechanism was sticking. This was communicated to Elisabetta, who was appreciative of notification. These were not issues that required immediate attention during our stay. Location was great!! Right next to the Accademia, short walk to Duomo, easy walk to Uffizi. Thank you Elisabetta!

Fun in Florence

A nice 2 bed, 2 bath apartment with room for our family of four. The location was great! Close to the train station, museums, shops and food. The only drawback was multiple flights of steps. The building does not include an elevator. We enjoyed the walk ability to lots of sites!

A very nice place for me and my family to explore Florence. It’s close to the stuff that a tourist wants to see (about 5 minutes from the museum that has the real David). I give it an 8/10 but with some minor TLC (ie: change some lightbulbs, fix the noisy AC and a fresh coat of paint) this place would be a 10.

Nice comfortable apartment.

All the essential needs were met in this apartment. Comfortable place to stay. Pull out couch was more than adequate for one of my kids to sleep. Twin sized bunk beds were great. Kitchen allowed for basic meal prep.

My family of five had a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Walking distance to all the sights in central Florence and next to the art gallery museum. Great places to eat all around and a Carrefour Express grocery store right around the corner. Great communication with Elisabetta which ensured easy access to the apartment and was responsive with anything we needed. We definitely would stay again at this great location. I highly recommend this apartment.

Great location in Florence!

We enjoyed the walk ability of this property. Short, easy walks to Santa Maria Novella train station and all the main sights in Florence. Buses are also easily accessible outside the building and grocery markets are close by as well as many bars and restaurants.

Great Place - Great Location

Stayed 3 night with my wife and two 30+ year old children. This was a great place for the four of us since it had two bathrooms. Nothing fancy but a great central location to explore Florence from. Communication and check in was a bit of a challenge but had more to do with the language barrier than with the host. Bottom line, I would stay again and would recommend to others.

Beautifully appointed central apartment

This is a beautiful apartment and had everything we needed for a family of five. It was very clean and comfortable with 3 sleeping rooms and 2 bathrooms. Its close proximity to all the sights in Florence meant we could walk everywhere, and we walked with our luggage from the train station. The owner was very friendly and helpful and gave us all the information about shops and restaurants. We'd love to stay here again.

Great location. Very Clean. Very spacious with a small balcony. Only negative was the odor. It is an old building so that is common. But over all I would definitely stay again .
