I’m not really sure where to start, the apartment was everything you would want when traveling to Florence. It was beautiful and you could get lost looking at all the details and old world charm but was also very modern at the same time.
There were 4 adults and 3 children in our party and we had more than enough space for everyone to feel right at home. Our flight was delayed but Elisabetta was informed and we were greeted by her son, Cosimo, upon our late arrival (sorry for the delay). Cosimo showed us where everything was around the apartment and helped us with our luggage.
The 1st floor bedroom filled with tons of books to read, very comfortable bed with nice clean bedding, full bathroom on suite and ample space for our luggage. The 2nd floor had 2 more huge bedrooms along with the 2nd bathroom which also had more than enough space for 2 adults and 3 kids. The loft/3rd floor, the kids absolutely adored. There were 2 twin sized beds and looked down into one of the 2nd for bedrooms. The apartment came with WiFi which worked excellent. We did not cook in the apartment but got a lot of use out of the refrigerator and washer/dryer. The living room is where the whole family would congregate every night after a long day of sightseeing and exploring. The couches were very comfortable and there were multiple seating areas. Taking the garbage out was an experience but was a short walk around the block.
The location of the apartment was great! Just around the corner was Santa Croce Basilica. It was a short walk to the Duomo, Uffizi and other piazzas that are beautiful.
There were lots of close restaurants and eateries all within 5 minutes walk. There was also a supermarket around the block which had everything you could need (water, laundry detergent, toilet paper, wine, etc.) The taxi stand was also around the block across from Caffe Mario (where we got our morning lattes). The pizza and food at Cucina Torcicoda was amazing and highly recommended.
All in all we had a wonderful time and great first air bnb experience with this apartment. Thank elisabetta to you and your entire family from my family.
Sincerely,
Theamaris H.
