Never having been to Florence before, we were happy to have found Elisabetta’s loft! Its location is a 5-20 minute walk from a vast majority of the wonderful sites around town. We hit L’Accademia, the Uffizi, the Duomo, Piazzale Michelangelo, Officina Profumo Farmaceutica, Santa Croce and the famous Leather School, Mercato Centrale, and so much more I can’t even list them! The loft is not in the city center which is always loud, no matter the time of day/night. It was always nice to be able to go back “home” and relax in relative quiet, though there are some late night eateries and the city picks up trash and sweep streets often (which keeps the whole city nice and clean despite the vast crowds) and that can be a little noisy.
The loft, in addition to being conveniently located, was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The best part, however, was Elisabetta herself who went above and beyond in making sure our stay was great. She and I communicated often before our arrival. She answered all my noob questions and gave us lots of recommendations for visiting different places, restaurants, and websites and tour companies for day trips. When she met us at the front door, it felt like we already knew each other! She gave us a tour of the loft and walked us through a map she provided so we could get our bearings of the city. She is a truly wonderful person who looked out for us the entire week! I highly, highly recommend this spot!
