I loved this place! It's a beautiful apartment full of personality and charm. It was so clean and comfortable that it truly felt like I was in my own home and not an airbnb rental. Duccio has equipped the home with everything you need to make you feel like you are living in a real Italian house. Although it is newly renovated, it still has some of the historic Florentine appeal, with old wood ceilings and beautiful floors. The best part is that it was able to host me and my friends comfortably.

The location is also a plus. It's centrally located so you can easily walk to all of Florence's major attractions (the Duomo and the David are literally just a few blocks away and Ponte Vecchio is a 10 min walk). It's also very close to Piazza San Marco, where you can easily hop on a bus to other areas for a day trip like Fiesole or the country side of Tuscany.

Duccio was an incredible host, extremely nice and warm. He gave us lots of tips on great sites and recommended fantastic local restaurants away from the touristy spots so that we could get the feel of real Italian dining. He just made things easy.

Although my stay was short, it was the perfect getaway and I would definitely stay here again.
