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 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.

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. :(

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.
