I feel I can write this review from a place of much experience, after using AirBnb for five years in nine different countries (including two other places in Florence). Claudia's apartment has been my best AirBnb experience thus far in the category of 'entire place'.
The rules are simple, coherent and direct. The apartment is absolutely beautiful, with a cozy and detailed rustic-chic decoration that just fills you with gratitude for being in such a place.
My husband and I were there for two nights, though I wish it had been much longer. During our second day, the temperature outside hit 37oC (99oF) and we decided to stay home until the evening. We crossed the street to the Central Market and picked up some fresh produce to add to the pasta, tomato sauce (and wine) that she had provided for us. Her fully functional kitchen allowed us to cook a wonderful meal (we are huge foodies and I was particularly excited about that!).
I cannot say enough good things about her place. Location wise, the market across the street is wonderful (very diverse and tasty produce on the first floor, trendy restaurants on the second floor). In the house, everything worked beautifully. We had great wi-fi and A/C, which I feel are often hard to come by, plus all other advertised amenities.
Thank you so much, Claudia, for the wonderful stay. I honestly cannot wait to be back!
