Stop scrolling and book this wonderful apartment. It has everything you need: superb location, excellent hosts, very good A/C and an elevator takes you to the 5th floor which gives you quiet in a very busy neighborhood.

Elisabetta and her husband met us at the property and even helped us carry bags. They were friendly and communication was great. The apartment is in the city center and you can walk to almost every museum. The Uffizi is literally around the corner. There is a grocery store within easy walking distance and restaurants everywhere. The air conditioning was quite effective and very appreciated in August/early September. We would definitely recommend this apartment!

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.

Location was perfect, however there is mold in the bathroom, toilet brush was disgusting. City water was out and we received poor response from owner letting us know what was happening. Told her we were running out of toilet paper and was told to go buy some. Overall impression was owner had not been there in awhile and cleaning was subpar. Almost forgot refrigerator was also dirty and moldy.

Gentile Angela, sono davvero dispiaciuta della tua recensione, smentita dai giudizi assolutamente positivi di tutti gli altri ospiti che hanno soggiornato da me, che hanno sempre apprezzato la pulizia della casa, la mia grande attenzione nell’accoglienza e l’ottima comunicazione prima e durante il soggiorno. Quando in tutta Firenze è venuta a mancare l’acqua per problemi all’acquedotto, ti ho subito inviato la comunicazione ufficiale emessa dal Comune, quindi hai ricevuto tempestivamente tutte le informazioni disponibili relative al disservizio. Riguardo al tuo soggiorno non dovresti dimenticare che mi hai fornito per tre volte informazioni sbagliate circa il tuo arrivo e che comunque il check-in è stato alle 11.30 di sera, sicuramente un orario molto tardivo, ma che ho comunque soddisfatto. Infine, nell’appartamento sono sempre presenti in abbondanza tutte le dotazioni necessarie, che gli ospiti ovviamente integrano se le finiscono. Comunque ti ringrazio per aver soggiornato nella mia casa Elisabetta

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.

A Month in Florence

We had a wonderful visit with our daughter who was studying in Florence. Our family visited over the month transitioning in and out of the flat and it was a smooth and easy process. Great location and Elisabetta was responsive, kind and easy to work with at all times. I would stay there again!
