Great location but no elevator

Great location right next to the David, including many restaurants, cafes and bars. The apartment is on the third floor and no elevator. The apartment had adequate space but needed some TLC. Our host was a delight to deal with.

Trip to Florence

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.

Nice Apartment and Location - lots of stairs...

Nice apartment and location. Tram and buses right in front. Some misunderstandings with host due to language but eventually resolved. Description did not say three flights of stairs to climb - we have personal mobility issues so this was a bit of a problem. Otherwise very nice.

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!

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.

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.
