I spent five weeks at Coral's apartment and I had a wonderful stay. I was looking for a neighborhood that was walking distance to the sites, but far enough away to avoid the big tourist crowds - and also where I would have the chance to practice my Italian. Some friends from Florence recommended this neighborhood and I'm so glad I found Coral's place; it's about a 20 minute walk to the Duomo, well-connected to public bus stops, and about a block away from grocery stores and cafes. This isn't one of those corporate-feeling Airbnbs that are set up like hotel rooms; you're staying in someone's home and you have that cozy feeling of staying at a friend's place while they're out of town. Coral was a great communicator and very willing to answer questions, give local advice, and handle any issues that came up along the way. The AC is a great feature in the summer; it really only reaches the living room (not the bedroom), but Florence cools down so much in the evening that I was really comfortable with a fan at night (with a few exceptions during a horrible heat wave, but all of Europe was sweaty those days). I'll miss this place and I hope to return again one day soon.
