We had a great time in Florence and Floria ‘s place was a great location for exploring the city. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go including to sights across the river. (We are in our mid 60’s.). Floria kept in touch and was there to meet us when we arrived. The apartment is in an apartment building, literally a few steps from the Duomo. The downside of that is that it was very noisy even into the night. Lots of traffic just below the window and especially on Saturday night, lots of partying as well. The building entrance felt very secure. This was our first Airbnb and we found the pictures to be fairly accurate. Not surprisingly, things seemed smaller and a little less bright than in the pictures, but the room was very comfortable and certainly met our needs.
