Wonderful!

Wonderful home away from home
This apartment, located in San Marco Piazza, is a wonderful place. The apartment is very roomy and laid out nicely. The kitchen is well stocked with all the necessities to cook your own meals. There is also a washing machine and a drying rack.
Elizabetta, the owner, is a lovely lady. Her English is limited but is still able to communicate the necessary details about the apartment.
The piazza is very busy as it is a major bus stop. It does quiet down late in the evening. We enjoy watching all the activity in the piazza.
The location of the apartment makes it very easy to travel around Florence by foot.
I highly recommend this apartment.
Lovely apartment...
The apartment itself is great. The space is large and comfortable, well equipped kitchen, excellent bed. As many people have mentioned it is in a rather noisy location on a square that is used by many city buses. Also, when we visited the temperature was 103. Each day when we left the apartment to be able to take the keys with us (they were padlocked together) the power had to be turned off to the entire apartment. By the time we got back at the end of the day the apartment was extremely hot and even with air conditioning it was not able to cool us off before it was time to sleep. It would have been great at a time that did not have blazing hot weather.
Great host and location
If you are looking to have close access to all the historic places in Florence, look no further than this apartment. It is situated Within a few minutes walk to all the places. Elisabetta received us with a warm welcome and gave us a few valuable tips. Apartment had all the amenities promised and missing things were delivered promptly as soon as I messaged Elisabetta. One caution, the apartment is located in a busy square. If you are a sensitive sleeper, you might be up way early due to the sounds of motor vehicles.
Perfect!!!!!
Elisabetta's apartment on San Marco's square was perfect! She had everything ready for us, including a drip coffee maker (those of you from the US will appreciate that). The apartment was welcoming and perfectly located. Drop down to the cafe for breakfast, Pugi's for lunch and visit Gianni for dinner. All within 20 steps of your front door. The David is literally around the corner to the right and the Doumo is just a few blocks away. The location is perfect, the busses are close and it's a short walk to the train station (cab ride with luggage). We will be back.
Thank you again Elisabetta!
Great base for exploring Florence
Just had a lovely stay in Florence. We stayed with our one year old and the apartment was well equipped with a cot and high chair. It was very spacious and clean. There is also a washing machine, very handy if you've packed light. The only downside as other reviewers have mentioned is that it can be noisy, even at night since it is right on San Marco square. Earplugs and a white noise app we have for the baby worked great for us though, so it wasn't really an issue. The location was great and it was so easy to walk everywhere. There are also some fantastic restaurants in the area that Elisabetta recommended. Overall we had a lovely stay and would love ento come back.
Great location in the heart of Florence!
Great location, this lovely apartment is just steps away from the Accademia. The apartment is large & very well kept. It is very clean & has all the amenities of home. If you like to relax & watch TV at night, & don't speak fluent Italian, take some DVDs with you. The only English-speaking channels are news channels (I.e.; BBC, CCTV). Lots of restaurants close by. Because it is at Piazza San Marco, it can get noisy due to buses, etc but ear plugs will take care of that. This rental is excellent quality & value for a great price. Thank you Elisabetta & Lorenzo!
Map
The apartment overlooks a dynamic square full of bars, restaurants and pastry shops, exactly in the centre of the city. Moreover, it is at walking distance from the Gallery of the Academy of Florence, which is the home of the Michelangelo's sculpture David, and from the National Museum of San Marco, which exhibits all works by Beato Angelico. Our apartment is located in a strategic location, ideal to reach in few minutes on foot all the main tourist points of interest of the city. Thanks to the main Florence bus lines, which stop next to our apartment, you can reach every part of the town and suburbs (Fiesole or Michelangelo Square). Few metres from the apartment you can find a high-quality restaurant called "L'Accademia", where you can try some of the best Italian dishes.
