ARIS is THE best host, and his flat is the most stylish and comfortable Airbnb I’ve ever experienced. The apartment is flawless, updated, in a safe neighborhood with lovely, welcoming people, and it’s within walking distance to the center. He provided plenty of towels, soaps, and even goodies (i.e., coffee, pastries, tea) in the kitchen. I didn’t cook, but there’s everything you need to do so. The WiFi is good, and there’s an elevator so that you don’t have to carry your luggage up or down the steps. If you’re visiting Florence, it behooves you to stay at Aris’ place.
Note: If you’re traveling from America, it’s best to not flush toilet paper because the building is old, BUT there’s a special trash can for that purpose. If you’re concerned about the awkwardness or smell, it’s actually not bad and the bathroom stays smelling fresh. Do not let this one factor deter you from staying here! Trust me (though I’m a stranger), STAYING HERE IS WORTH EVERY CENT!
