IF Antonio and Cristina's place is available, don't hesitate to book it, you will not be disappointed. It was in the best location for us, very near to Il Bisonte where I took a three week printmaking workshop, and also within walking distance to all the wonderful sites in Florence. It was truly the cleanest Airbnb we have stayed at anywhere in the world. Located in what was once a family palace, it is on the third floor and has a small elevator if you need to carry up your luggage or groceries, or just can't do the stairs.
I remembered reading the word attic in the description of this apartment, so I was a bit curious at first, but as it turned out Antonio and Cristina's place is closer to a penthouse. It has high ceilings, is comfortably furnished, has lots of natural light, and plenty of lamps for good lighting at night (which is a plus if you read). It has a floor to ceiling double windows in all the 4 rooms overlooking the Bardini Garden. I looked forward to coming back to the apartment each day after my class, putting my feet up and relaxing, like home, only better! It has two large spacious bedrooms, and one smaller one, two separate sitting areas, one with a TV, and a larger one with a library and dining area. It has 3 bathrooms which is convenient if you have guests, and a smallish kitchen with everything you need to cook, but who needs to cook when there are 6-7 restaurants all within 2-5 minute walk away, and countless places beyond? Even though it right in the heart of everything, because it has the private Bardini Garden behind it, it is a very quiet which is sometime hard to find in Florence. This place is a gem, and so are Antonio and Cristina. If there were a level above Superhost, Antonio and Cristina would be in this category, they couldn't have been nicer, easier to contact, and helpful. We will definitely be back!
