My partner and I had never been to Florence before, so we weren’t sure where was a good area to stay. This apartment is located just off the River Arno which is just perfect and you’re literally 8-12 mins walk away from most tourist attractions and recommended restaurants.
Ascanio, Conte’s sub host greeted us on arrival and was very helpful and provided lots of restaurant recommendations. Conte was always very quick to respond on Air bnb and if there were any questions with the apartment, they were resolved immediately.
The apartment was a good size, very modern and had plenty of storage room in the bedroom. Majority of the apartment was clean, however the floors and kitchen table were quite dusty when we arrived, so was a little disappointed that the apartment was not freshly cleaned for our arrival.
The view from the shower is stunning, however I would advise for the ladies to let the shower steam up the window before getting in or you’ll feel quite exposed ;)
As you’re near the river, you will come across 1 or 2 mosquitos in the apartment especially if you have the window open, I would suggest bringing some bug spray with you to avoid being bitten.
There is a lovely shared roof terrace which you have access to a 270 degree view of Florence. If you’re up early, I’d recommend seeing the sunrise over the city, the colours are just wonderful. In the week that we stayed we didn’t have anyone else use it, so it was like our own private terrace.
Overall good hosts, great location and value for money.
