This was our 2nd visit to Florence. We had a wonderful stay in Raffaella's flat.
It's large, on the 4th floor (US) with an elevator (Great!). The location is fantastic! You can see Santa Croce Square from the bedroom windows. The Ponte Vecchio is just a ten minute walk away, Uffizi 10-15 min, the Duomo 15 min. You can see Bardini Gardens from the living room windows and the terrace. It is centrally located. Cab fare from the train station will run about 20 euros.
Since it was spring time there was no need to use the AC.
The restaurant across the street is noisy at night but the double pane windows did shut out the noise. I had no problems sleeping.
There is a grocery store and a cafe across the street. There's also an ATM on the same block.
Most important, it's in a safe location an was in immaculate condition.
I thought that the apt was larger than the photos showed. The bathroom is large, modern and fantastic!
I've used AirBnB 9-10 times and her place is in the top 2.
Thanks Raffaella for providing such a great place to stay!
Check in and check out went very smoothly.
