If you get to stay with Cristina and Michael you will be very lucky. You really feel as though you are enjoying the heart and soul of Florence. The apartment is large and very comfortable with the most fabulous views. You are right next to a working market. I walked everywhere .... to the station, all the galleries and museums and all the sights. I would never want to be stuck in the suburbs or in an anonymous international hotel like my next stay.... the Rome Airport Hilton.... a horrible depressing soulless modern box.
Cristina’s apartment is perfect for the solo traveller.... I always felt safe in the area and that coming back to my room was returning to my authentically Italian charming home.
The apartment is noisy, but ear plugs and closing the shutters help with this problem.
Florence was incredibly hot when I visited this June but I managed with the fan and cold showers in my private bathroom. The stairs didn’t bother me and the lack of a TV was a blessing. Wifi is very good.
Cristina has placed heaps of tourist information in the room and local guide books. When I wanted to find a button shop she and Michael helped me locate one. Cristina was incredibly loving to me when I was upset over a family problem .... thank you Cristina.
This is a great Airbnb .... don’t miss out!
