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.
The place is exactly as shown in the photos. The bunk bed is doable for adults, and the location is convenientâabout a 15 minute walk from the train station, with great places to eat right below. Itâs 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.
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.
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. :(
Our stay in Florence was fantastic! Excellent location, in proximity to everything, and a lovely neighborhood! Easy to get into the VRBO, and easy check out. The facility was well-maintained, and it had a very homey feel.
The apartment is a true two bedroom the second bedroom is bunk beds but ok the location was perfect the tram and bus service is right out the door down stairs the apartment is on the third floor with no elevator
Excellent host and very accommodating. Directions were perfect from the train station! As well as a great restaurant recommendation right below 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.
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.
Excellent location, very close to main attractions, but very outdated property. Walls are dirty, kitchen cabinets smell. We didnât feel welcome and home, every wall had instructions with a lot of restrictions. Second bedroom is very small, master bathroom is tiny. Coffee maker didnât even have filters , I know itâs not part of the rental agreement, but this little things make a difference. I am not going to stay there again.
Fantastic apartment! It had everything as advertisedâtwo 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 Michelangeloâs 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!
