If you are coming to Florence for cultural reasons it doesn't get better than Benji's place. As you wake to the bells of Santa Croce, you open your eyes to frescos on the ceiling! The house is decorated with great taste. A fine example of the depths of the artist heritage in the psyche of the people of Florence.
There can be some noise as mentioned in the description but this is a feature of the acoustics of the city and boisterousness of the tourists. For me the issues passed quickly, they were fleeting, just people rolling home. After my 1st night I began to laugh about it.
Benjamin is very open, friendly and genuinely interested in his guests. Take some time to chat and you will see why real (home) airbnb is such a great way to experience local cultures.
Great hot shower and big comfortable bed make this a real jem if you are exploring the city. I'll be back here if I can!
