My wife and I were on our honeymoon and selected Lorenzo and Paola's place and we are so happy that we did. This apartment was easily one of the nicest places we have stayed in through Airbnb and found it comfortable, clean, very cozy, quiet, and in a great location.
The apartment is a charming split level design with entry and living space on first level and bedroom/kitchen/bath on second level. Plenty of natural light provided by windows on the second level and plenty of lights available when the sun sets. Kitchen was as described and had all of the necessary kit to cook meals and enjoy a real private home stay. Induction cook top was easy to use as well. Bed was delightfully comfortable although it would have been nice to have a couple of additional pillows, but not a problem. Bathroom is split between the sink area and the toilet and shower, which was actually quite nice. For American standards, the shower is a little tight as it is a rounded corner stall so moving about can be tricky if you are not used to the shower type but certainly not an issue. We also had some trouble with the hot water as it ran out a little quicker than anticipated (perhaps after 5 minutes), but it wasn't a major problem. Apartment has three separate heater/AC units that keep the apartment quite cozy, plus the towel warmer in the bathroom is always nice to have. The couch/TV area was very cozy and having access to Netflix and Amazon Prime was great when you need to take a break from the city for a few hours and just relax. Extra blankets in the armoire were great for adding another lazy of coziness to the apartment. The apartment being a third floor walk up isn't ideal, but considering you'll only carry your luggage up and down once, it really isn't that problematic.
Location of the apartment is fantastic. It is about a 10-15 minute walk from the main attractions of the city including Palazzo Vecchio, Il Duomo, Santa Croce, and main shopping areas. There isn't much in the way of food in the immediate area save for a restaurant on the ground level but again you aren't more than 5-10 minutes away from other eateries, like some of the recommendations provided by the hosts. The area is also rather quiet at night being away from city center so you won't be kept up by any rowdy crowds. If you are arriving to Florence by train, the apartment is a bit far to walk especially in the winter with the narrow Florence sidewalks. I certainly recommend a taxi which for the two of us with two suitcases cost approx 13 euros.
Check-in was easy. Lorenzo and Paola provide detailed step-by-step instructions that include specific pictures to get you smoothly into the apartment. I can hardly say more positive things about this apartment, it was practically perfect and really felt like a home away from home. This place is absolutely worthy of the status that it has earned and I can't imagine you would be even slightly disappointed if you stayed here. A big thanks to Lorenzo and Paola for creating such a welcoming space in Florence.
