Great location

This apartment is in a perfect location for exploring Florence. Perfect size for a family. We used the left luggage facility at nearby Bounce, as it wasn't possible to store our bags in the apartment.

Amazing stay in Florence. We loved the apartment and the amazing view and location. After 8 days of navigating around France and Italy, to be able to get off the train, get onto one tram directly to our apartment was an absolute dream. Check in was straight forward and easy. Isabella gave us a business card for the restaurant directly downstairs and the food was delicious and the service was friendly. We could walk to everything-the Galleria dell'Accademia was literally around the corner, making an early morning visit to the David relaxing and enjoyable. We highly recommend this place and would love to come back.

Great Stay in Florence

Fantastic apartment! It had everything as advertised—two comfortable bedrooms, two clean bathrooms, and even a washing machine that worked perfectly. The location was ideal. The tram stopped right in front of the building, and we were just around the corner from Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia Gallery. There were tons of great restaurants just steps away, which made dining out easy. We would absolutely stay here again!

Let me begin by saying that I have never in my life left a negative review; If I don't have something nice to say about an experience, I don't say anything at all. However, I need to make an exception here as a matter of principle. We picked this apartment based on its perfect location. It's nothing fancy, but we could definitely deal with that. What was really bothersome is the strong sewage smell that was extremely evident as soon as you entered the space. I mentioned it to the host while we were there, and she must have addressed it, because the smell did get better. That only lasted a day or so and then it returned. We all dealt with it but unfortunately, we were anxious to check out for this reason alone. When we returned home and were unpacking, all of our clothes and belongings smelled like sewage! I called VRBO to explain the situation, and I happened to mention that perhaps the smell was due to construction in the building. It was then that I was told that doing work to a property while a guest is present is against VRBO policy. As directed, I reached out directly to the host. She unfortunately refused to provide any compensation. She also blatantly lied about the work being done and called it "light painting". It was painting, varnishing, loud drilling, and sanding causing lots of dust in the stairwell. There was also an extension cord hanging from the 3rd floor to the 1st floor, an obvious safety hazard. What is most upsetting is that she is not being honest. :(

Location, location, location

Wonderful views and steps away from the old city. The property is on the third floor with no elevator but generally worth the climb. If you are four adults, be aware that the second bedroom has bunk beds that are geared more for children than adults but doable. The place is funky, but dated with eclectic furniture, but the ambiance more than makes up for its imperfections

First time in Florence

Excellent location, very close to main attractions, but very outdated property. Walls are dirty, kitchen cabinets smell. We didn’t feel welcome and home, every wall had instructions with a lot of restrictions. Second bedroom is very small, master bathroom is tiny. Coffee maker didn’t even have filters , I know it’s not part of the rental agreement, but this little things make a difference. I am not going to stay there again.

Elizabetta was great, she does not speak a lot of English so just give her time and she will provide all the information you need. We were in a great location to explore the city, close to places to eat and everything was walkable. Getting the train right in front was super helpful. As advertised, communication was great.

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!

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.

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!
