The best airbnb I've ever stayed in - I wish we could rate it more than 5 stars.
Monica was an amazingly friendly and accommodating host. She was always quick to reply to messages, giving us information and tips before we even arrived. Upon meeting Monica we were blown away by her generous hospitality and incredible enthusiasm for the city of Florence. She was genuinely interested in hearing about our plans for our stay in Florence and offered invaluable local tips and recommendations - even taking the time to detail these on a map for us which we took with us all around the city.
The apartment itself is beautiful. From the pictures we were slightly worried about the small size of the apartment, however the size was not an issue at all - the apartment is very comfortable for a couple. The apartment appeared brand new and was full modern appliances and beautifully decorated. The bathroom felt like that of a 5 star hotel. The whole apartment was perfectly cleaned.
It is located in a nice and secure apartment building just seconds from the Duomo and a couple of minutes walk from other fantastic places that Monica recommended, such as Mercato Centrale. We did not use public transport or a taxi once during our stay in Florence and were able to walk to all the major attractions and Santa Maria Novella station in less than 10 minutes.
Staying in this apartment and having the opportunity to meet Monica truly enriched our holiday experience and I would highly, highly recommend this to anyone planning to visit Florence.
