Having visited Florence before, and with previous Airbnb experiences, we find Govambattista as an outstanding host. Communication and response time were on the high end, fluent, anticipatory, practical and facilitating us enjoying our visit. Nice bottle of wine at checkin, and a practical checkout.
His place is well located apart from the heavy crowds, but still at a walking distance from the rest of the city Center. Although we mostly walked everywhere, bus stops are a few steps away and proved practical. A small supermarket, restaurants, and other convenience services are really nearby. G provides suggestions for most of the services around his place. If you bring a car and do enter the ZTL restricted traffic zone, make sure to have the parking lot register your car plates to avoid fines.
You can expect high veracity from the pictures and comments. First floor (above ground level), good building, high ceilings. The second room window frames a worthwhile view including a cupola. Bedroom has the same window orientation and view. All linens, towels, pillows, soap, toilet paper provided adequately. Kitchen and cleaning tools are sufficient and adequate. All rooms were reasonably clean, specially considering the high amount of art around you.
This is an artist studio concept. Expect creative proposals all around you, lots of books, stocked canvases, and a very relaxed concept overall. The smaller bathroom worked fine for our two teenagers, while we used the larger one. The wash machine and iron were helpful. Surprisingly, the bed implemented in the second room was quite comfortable and provided good rest for two adults.
We recommend G’s place and him as a host, which had a lot to do in us enjoying our stay in Florence.
