Wow, what a wonderful host Michele is!!
The communication, his presence at both check-in and check-out (and absolute insistence on helping with our bags!), book of local recommendations and kind and welcoming spirit really set this Airbnb stay apart from the others we've experienced thus far on our family trip to Europe this summer.
The little touches are important when you are only traveling with a carry-on and a small back pack for 25 days; Mason Charlotte was stocked with more than the essentials: soap/shampoo in every bathroom, laundry detergent and stain remover, drying racks, cream in the fridge for espresso or coffee in the morning (also fully stocked) and not one, but two percolators (which we totally had to YouTube "how-to" before using! Michele even had a bottle of very nice Chianti waiting for us upon arrival.
If you are looking for a place to stay in Florence close to nearly each major sight you are visiting the city for, hassle-free, charming and quaint - stop looking now ... this place is it!
We also highly recommend Za Za for the Florentine steak and just about everything else ~ Thanks so much, Michele!!
As a friendly tip, book everything you want to do a good two+ weeks in advance ticket-wise.
