This place is so tastefully done, with seemingly new everything! However, it maintains the feel of ancient architecture, and could not be any better situated in the heart of Firenze within easy (12min walking distance max) of EVERYTHING you care to see, or eat, or shop. It allowed us to avoid carrying a tourist backpack as we could easily pop back to the place for water, snacks, naps, change of clothing, etc.
Suzy is also the most gracious and thoughtful host I’ve ever had. She provided all the little touches that made us feel like we were in a 5 star hotel but with a private feel, including a bottle of Chianti, lots of bakery snacks, and cold bottles of water in the fridge for our use. As well as body wash and of course nice soft towels (which seem to be rare in Italy). Not to mention she checked in with us during our stay and made sure to be there for our departure to wish us well and make sure we enjoyed our stay. She also lives next door so if you had a pressing question or issue it would be super easy to get her assistance, however with how well she prepares everything for you I don’t see why you would need to.
We also thoroughly enjoyed the smart TV with Netflix so I could sign into my personal account to use, and BLAZING fast WiFi speeds…literally the fastest internet speeds I have ever seen anywhere. For the geeks out there…260 mbps download and 105 mbps upload!! Which is more than 20 times faster than any of my other Italy WiFi speeds, and was a flawlessly reliable connection.
The multiple A/C units (3 I think?) functioned very well and there are many windows to circulate air if desired. Not much natural light comes through them and not any views, but we expected that from the descriptions and reviews and the classy and thorough lighting fixtures throughout the apt make it a non-issue.
Overall this was probably my best stay ever at an Airbnb and I could not more highly recommend Suzy’s (Sau Chuck’s) place!! I hope we can come back to Firenze and stay here again!! Thanks Suzy!
