Silvia's apartment is just stunning. It is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated which we loved as we actively seek authentic AirBnB experiences for sustainable tourism. Silvia was always quick to respond to any questions or to provide suggestions for the city. Both check-in and check-out were easy and straight-forward. All amenities were clean and working perfectly. The shower was just divine and the bed was super comfortable. Don't be put off by there being no air-conditioning as the two fans were more than sufficient and much better for the environment. The location, Santo Spirito, is brilliant as it is much more authentic and local. The tourist attractions are located on the other side of the river (approx. 10-15 min walk). There is a great selection of places for coffee and amazing food on the square and there was often live music. She recommended excellent places for food, drink and activities. Il Cantino was a great shout for a wine bar and the Grape Tours for a Tuscan Wine Tour was one of our favourite experiences. We also appreciated the clear system for recycling properly. We will definitely be returning when we visit Florence again.
