This is a great place to stay if you have an early morning flight out of Florence. The tram running directly to the airport is steps away from the apartment. The apartment is so close to great restaurants and tourist attractions. It's important to note that it is on the 3rd floor, so many stairs. It's a small, simple apartment, but comfortable for 4 people.

The place is exactly as shown in the photos. The bunk bed is doable for adults, and the location is convenient—about a 15 minute walk from the train station, with great places to eat right below. It’s also about 20 minutes from the river. The owner communicates well. The space could use a bit of TLC, and if you plan to cook, note that some basic essentials (oil, coffee, paper towels) are not provided.

Elisabetta was a great host. She met us right when we got there. She also gave us a discount card to use at the restaurant below. I loved this place! It was my favorite place so far! My husband and I had our two teens with us and it was so nice that we had our own bed/bath and they had theirs! The place is big! It has a balcony with a great view and is in an excellent location. It has a lot of stairs to get to it but the balcony view makes it worth it. I highly recommend this place.

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!

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!

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.

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
