This place could not have been more perfect. Clean, spacious, close to everything. Our host, Elisabetta, was super helpful and very knowledgeable about Florence and things to do there. 10/10 A would be our first choice of places to stay whenever we come back!

Basta: Stop scrolling. If you are visiting Firenze this is the best place to stay. The host was very gracious and the location cannot be beat. Guests walk right out the door to the Ponte Vecchio and all other must see locations like the Duomo,Effizzi Gallery, Academia are a few walking minutes away.Every feature of this beautiful apartment worked perfectly. This place was spacious and spotless.

A good apartment in a fantastic location.Here are a few thoughts which might be helpful to future visitors:1. Location - amazing. Walk out the door into the middle of everything. To the right for 2 minutes gets you to Ponte Vecchio; to the left, the Uffizi. There could not be a better location! 2. Hosts - good, responsive to questions and accommodating for early check in, but not particularly helpful (eg refused to assist in calling a taxi for a very early morning departure - which turned out to be easy to do).3. Noise - some prior reviews commented on noise. We were there the week before Easter and the area was bustling but the apartment was generally quiet. You can hear the Church bells commencing at 6am, and, at 6:30am, there is a very loud series of bangs and crashes as bottles from the night before are taken out by the restaurant below. Apart from that, apartment is quiet. I can't imagine that anywhere else could be so quiet with such a great location.4. Shower - the shower is truly tiny. I am 5 foot 7 inches and 160 pounds and barely fit. Definitely could not turn around comfortably. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of. 5. Other - WiFi works great; apartment is consistent with the photos (although the photos do make the place seem larger than it is); apartment has no view. Overall, a good place with a fantastic location.

Our stay in this apartment was clearly one of the best experiences we have had with a VRBO apartment. We were delayed arriving in Florence, but Elisabetta and her husband stayed late into the evening to welcome us, give us a thorough orientation and tips for tackling the Florence sights and streets. The apartment was lovely - neat, tidy, with everything we needed. The location was PERFECT! We are active walkers and some days did 5-7 miles over rough Florence streets. The opportunity to get back to the apartment conveniently during the day for a rest stop was very helpful. I would highly recommend this apartment to travelers young and old.

Outstanding Stay in Florence!

My daughter and I could not have been more pleased with our apartment stay in Florence. Elisabetta was incredibly helpful and kind, and we truly appreciated that she met with us personally for check in. She did so in spite of an unexpected train strike on our arrival day, which made travel from Rome to Florence initially very stressful and challenging for us. Elisabetta did all she could do to assist us and we truly appreciated it. The apartment is charming, cozy, incredibly clean and is in an excellent location. It was very well appointed with many amenities, and a few thoughtful and tasty surprises waiting for us! The apartment layout is excellent, and the pictures and description we saw when booking were 100% accurate. The location can’t be beat, with easy walking access to all major sites, and an incredible grocery store (Conrad) that we went to multiple times. We were very glad that Elisabetta told us about it. We appreciated having a full wkitchen, clothes washer and easy to use air conditioner/heating unit. The location of the apartment is fairly quiet, but it is surrounded by restaurants and retail stores, leading to some early morning noise as the businesses prepare for the day. Not a big deal, as it should be expected when staying in the heart of the city. Overall, we feel blessed to have found this apartment, and a wonderful host. We have much more to explore in Florence and the surrounding areas, and hope to return for another stay in the near future!

A quick trip to a beautiful city we had never visited before. Elisabetta’s place is in the very heart of it all. Lots of shopping and dining right outside the door. But also very quiet and private inside the apartment. It was a perfect place for myself and adult son. Throughly enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable stay, flexible host

Elisabetta was a wonderful host. She was kind enough to allow an early check in and later check out, which really helped our travel plans especially since we were traveling with a small child. The apartment was exactly what we needed: safe, centrally located and enough space to avoid feeling encumbered by bags like we would in a hotel. Grazie, Elisabetta!

Location location location

Elisabetta was a wonderful host. She had a binder with local info and suggestions, a map of the area. Very thoughtful 😃. The location is absolutely perfect for a stay in Florence. If there was one thing I could change, it is the size of the shower. A little difficult to maneuver without bumping the on/off hold/cold handle. I’m not tiny so some fault of mine as well but a teeny bit more room would have been nice. Beyond that, this stay was absolutely perfect.

Perfect apartment in Florence

This apartment is perfect Florence. Location, size, amenities, host, cleanliness, it was the place to be. Located in the heart of the city yet a quiet oasis. Comfortable and convenient to everything. An easy walk to all the sights and the transportation system. Cabs abound. Words cannot express not photos really portray how well situated and appointed the apartment is. Host is wonderful and made our stay better with the wine and city suggestions. Very responsive and lovely. Would definitely rent again.
