Wow Cristina is the most AMAZING host. Firstly we had to change our arrival time a few times due to trains and being delayed and she was so understanding and tried to accommodate our needs. She met us out the front of a nice cafe and walked us to the apartment which was very close. Cristina gave us directions on what bus to catch from the main train station but we caught a five minute taxi because we were running late.
The apartment is Exactly as the photos depict huge, spacious, bright and clean. Big kitchen where we made a few meals in with everything you need. The bed was comfortable and we even washed some clothes in the washing machine as we had been traveling for a while before we got there.
The apartment was in a great neighbourhood, perfect location to get to the main square in Florence that you can either take a 5 min 5 euro taxi ride or catch the bus. It was also close to cafes, restaurants and a supermarket.
Cristina was such a great host she had prepared a list of typical Florence dishes, good restaurants and places to shop as well as a map showing how to get to the main square, bus stops and supermarket. With many recommendations on what to do and not to do in Florence. Whenever we had problems with wifi and a fault with the shower she was prompt to reply to our messages and kept us up to date and even had her husband come in the next day to fix our issues. The best host we have had so far on our trip.
Defiantly recommended to anyone going to Florence to stay at the Ipippini house! Thanks again Cristina :)
