I don't think any Airbnb will match the views of Antonella's home! Excellent communication throughout. Good facilities and a warm welcome. The location is great for those wanting a more authentic trip. Set in a quiet area that, as a solo traveller, I felt completely safe in. The bus (No. 6a/b) is a 4 minute walk away and goes from right outside the Santa Maria Novella station (get on outside of Burger King) and serves most of Florence. Antonella had some great local tips so be sure to ask her. As an animal lover the pets were an added bonus... although, now I want a tortoise! :)
