We stayed at Lorenzo's loft for 5 nights and loved it. I would definitely recommend and stay again if ever in Florence. It is exactly what you see in the pictures. Very clean, nice, and comfortable space.
We did not need to take public transportation during our stay other than the taxi ride to and from the train station (due to our large luggage's). Everything (including the train station) was no more than a 20 minute walk, in Florence 20 minute walks are very much welcomed. If you're not into walking, there was at least one bus stop very close by that I seen, possibly more but since we didn't use the bus system, I couldn't say exactly. There are lots of restaurants and shopping very close by. A 3 minute walk to the beautiful Santa Croce Basilica/Piazza. The Piazza has many places to eat and a great place to grab a quick cup of coffee and pastry. Sitting on the steps of the Basilica with a nice gelato from Finisterrae ( one of the many places recommended by Lorenzo) was a favorite thing for us to do on our way back to the loft in the evening.
Lorenzo was amazing to work with from the moment we reserved his loft through our stay in Florence. He answered my many questions thoroughly and quickly about getting to his place and was very flexible with our early train arrival. He is very personable in person and provided a map and explanation of everything surrounding the loft (restaurants, nightlife, etc). He also provided specific recommendations for restaurants. We were able to make it to a couple and we LOVED both.
Again, I highly recommend!
Thank you Lorenzo for your hospitality!!
