Elisa’s place was in a great location for all the sight seeing you will be doing in the city as stated. It was in walking distance to all museums and not far from central train station. A ton of great restaurants steps away as well. In the heart of Santa Croce Square. If want to be in the hustle and bustle this is where you want to stay. It is definitely a crowded area with a lot going on and would get a bit loud at night. The loft had everything we needed for our stay and Elisa gave great recommendations on what was close by. Elisa was very quick with responses, extremely friendly, and accommodating. I would definitely recommend a stay at the loft for your trip to Florence!
