Fabulous experience. The apartment was exactly as described, in the middle of the center with the train in front, which made it easy to travel. The only thing is that there is no elevator so you will have to haul the luggage to the 4th floor.

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!

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!

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!

everything is advertised for this property you will get, we had an amazing stay at the apartment it had everything we needed for family of 5 and the best part is that you can walk to pretty much all the touristic places in Florence.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So enjoyed staying in Forence for 4 nights while travelling through Italy. It was clean, spacious, nicely decorated, comfy beds and had everything we needed. Elisabetta and her son were very kind making us feel at home. This apartment was directly above the bus stop in San Marcos square. It was so charming, a bustling little area very close to all amenities. We LOVED the organic pizzeria called Simbios. Best pizza we had anywhere with the most charming decor.

The apartment was as advertised--two comfortable bedrooms, two very nice bathrooms, a fully functional kitchen, a nice living/dining area, and a small balcony with a view of the Duomo and Campanile. The location was perfect--just around the corner from the Gallerie dell'Accademia and a little less than a 10-minute walk to the Duomo. Elisabetta was a charming and gracious host. Thank you!
