The apartment in Florence is perfect. The location is close to everything. The downstairs is large and easy to move around in. The sleeping area upstairs is clean and the bathroom is small but nice. Lots of hot water. You will keep your clothes and luggage downstairs, where there is a nice open closet, mirror, racks, and hair dryer. The kitchen is wonderful if you want to use it. The bed was comfortable, and the towels were the fluffiest and softest of any Airbnb we've ever stayed in.
The building has a great elevator, and we were very grateful for it with out luggage. The three flights of stairs are fine, even with bad knees, because the steps are shallow. The building originally had horse keeping quarters on the first floor, which adds more charm to the building. And the layout of the suite makes it very safe and cozy.
The best restaurant we found in Florence, Acqua al 2, is 20 feet away on the corner. Even a little breakfast (Sunday only) right downstairs. The night life is alive and well right on the street, so bring earplugs if you are like me.
You can walk to everything in Florence from here. The city has Motobike, a bicycle sharing company, that you use your smart phone app with. But, with the cobblestone streets, the bikes are hard to ride. Too bad, because they are so convenient. But if you don't mind the bumpy ride, you will get places fast with them, once you can navigate and ride at the same time. personally, I would rent a scooter for the entire stay next time. In any case, we really enjoyed Michele's place and would stay again.
