Davide was by far the best and most gracious Airbnb host we've ever had!
1. His home is in the perfect location. It is not in the busiest/touristy city center of Florence, but it is minutes away and you get to cross over one of Florence's beautiful bridges with a view. There was singing and accordions in the afternoon, and the beautiful sounds of the bell tolls throughout the day. In the evening, you could hear the lively diners below and clinking of dishes and wine, but it was not too noisy or disruptive, quite enchanting if I do say so myself.
2. The apartment is small but absolutely everything you need. It was the only place we stayed in Italy with an ESPRESSO MACHINE! Waking up every morning and having espresso in bed while the bell chimed...Oh, it's the little things!
3. Davide is the most gracious host we've ever had. He helped us with our luggage up the stairs, and had prepared multiple guides and maps on where to eat in the city, what to eat in the city, where to see the most romantic view at sunset, etc. We followed his tips and had the most memorable meals (both cheap and more expensive) of our entire trip according to his suggestions. Make sure you try the Lampredotto!
4. Davide was incredibly responsive and flexible. He checked in to make sure we were having a lovely stay and see if we needed anything. He speaks perfect English and was amazing to speak with before and during our trip.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Florence! It was a magical trip.
