This was my first AirBnB experience and I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect so I put a lot of faith into the reviews I read about Gianfranco and his place. Now that I am done traveling and back home I can fully attest that all the highly rated reviews are 100% accurate. Everything advertised is accurate but one thing stands out even more and that is the hospitality and attention Gianfranco gives his guests. You truly feel welcomed from the moment you book his place until you leave and you never feel alone in this fantastic city. My main criteria for booking were: (1) Location but not in a high tourist zone, (2) Cleanliness, (3) AC + Washer / Dryer, (4) Good beds to have restful nights, (5) Hospitable and caring host, and (6) Value. Moreover, I came to experience Florence so I was not looking for anything fancy or extravagant but an old building styled not like a hotel but a home. I found everything to be on point with my expectations. I will definitely return not only to Florence but to see Gianfranco and his family again.
