Book Michela’s place with total confidence. Prepare to be charmed, enchanted and feel so well taken care of. Staying here will end up being way more than you could ever have wanted! Just, wow! :) This apartment is an absolute dream, and Michela is an incredible professional, warm—and simply, beyond a 5 star host. Everything is laid out for you the moment you enter and she or her colleague Isabella were in constant communication with me as needed. A small electrical issue arose and was sorted *immediately* with cheer, grace and impeccable professionalism. The home is has a beautiful historic Florentine vibe—inspiring, incredible and an absolute architectural masterpiece. Every touristic question I had was either already answered upon arrival or tended to through instantly my visit. Selecting an Air b&b can be challenging and feel risky. I showed up to this apartment and was blown away at every corner. The host’s warmth set the tone and everything was impeccable from there.. The location looking out upon Palazzo Vecchio is unparalleled for enjoying the apartment and navigating Florence. You are a 15 minute walk or less of all the major sites. Yet, this location felt calm and quiet to me as I used my space to meditate or write during the day, and relax after being in the heat. I loved cooking in my apartment—the dining area and kitchen are amazing and a Coop grocery store is within a 5 minute walk and has all you need. The host provided this information to me upon arrival. There are charming bars and restaurants just downstairs, shopping, gelato, live opera and classical music in the square—all just at your doorstep. I absolutely loved enjoying my coffee at the window watching the fountain and activities down below. The apartment is ice cold, the AC works so well—which is important for many, given the recent summer heat. This apartment is more like a home, it is huge—yet cozy and feels like a welcoming home away from home. You are getting way more than a place to stay. Noise was of absolutely no concern, the apartment is high up which makes for incredible city views. The decor, layout, furniture, art selections, original tiling work, beautiful carved mouldings and chandeliers are just a few of the enchanting decor and architectural details you will experience. I felt like I was living in a movie, Michela’s hosting service, amenities, comfort and overall vibe just constantly exceeded my expectations at every turn — THIS is how an Air b&b should be. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Thank you Michela and Isabella!
