We had a wonderful experience at Stefano's place in Florence. The apartment is in a great location on a bustling street, however, the rooms are nice and quiet. There is a BEAUTIFUL terrace with a wonderful rooftop view of some buildings and a church. Luckily there is a small lift to help transport luggage up the few flights of stairs. The place is very unique with frescoes on the ceilings and antique furnishings.

Stefano very kindly recommended a cooking class for my friends and I - Florence Food Studio - which was honestly the highlight of our ten day trip in Italy. While every day and city we went to were wonderful, something about the cooking class and the warm people who taught us added a memorable and unique aspect to our time in Florence. Thank you for that, Stefano! There is also a book of recommendations both at the flat and on airbnb that were helpful in making reservations and planning for a big group.

For any families looking to stay and cook here, please note that the kitchen is sparsely equipped. This was not an issue for us as we did not plan to cook (why would you! so many delicious options nearby). The bathrooms and showers are also a bit older but this is part of the charm.

Overall, we had a wonderful time here and it was easy to walk around anytime of day and feel safe.
