Awesome place in the middle of everything. Less than 15 minute walk to south side of the river or Accademia. There are tons of shops, restaurants, and coffee shops just around the corner. Apartment is good size, Elena provides shampoo/soap. Lots of hot water which is sometimes difficult to find at an Airbnb in Italy. She also provided water in the fridge and espresso for the coffee maker. As other reviews stated, the stairs up to the apartment can be challenging but should not deter anyone from staying here. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Florence.
