The home and area is absolutely stunning. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was just outside of the city center (as described in the title). Carla (Stefano's mother) was our main point of contact and was very helpful and kind. The room is very large and the bed is comfortable.

We had some language barrier confusion with our arrival, but we ended up working that out.

Also, we were asked to pay an additional €2.50/person/night for a Florence tourist tax, which was not explained in the listing prior to booking the room. I contacted Airbnb who ended up saying this is a legitimate charge and that we should pay it to Stefano in cash (despite their help article here: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/251/what-if-a-host-asks-for-more-money).

We would recommend staying here for sure, but I would be remiss to not mention the issues above.
