BOOK THIS PLACE NOW! I have been using air bnb for many years and book places at least 3-4x/year and this is the very best one I have ever stayed in. Believe the pictures, yes it is that nice. Waking up in the morning hearing the bells of the cathedral ring while looking across your 270 degree view is the city roof tops and the Duomo was one of my favorite memories of all the time I spent in Italy. There are cheaper places to book in Florence, but this is worth so much more than you are paying. It's an experience in and of itself.
PROS:
- OMG that view!
- So well decorated
- Brand New renovation
- comfortable bed, soft sheets, fluffy towels, it feels like a luxury hotel
- Host was so great, helped us carry bags upstairs, meet us at the apartment, and gave us some great local tips and places to eat
- Host left us a chilled bottle of champagne which was a very appreciated and thoughtful touch
- Just enough emenities for convienience, without any clutter
- Remote controlled black out shades
- THOOSE VIEWS!!!!
CONS:
- It's a mountain climb of a walk up, but it just made me feel less guilty eatting those Florentine steaks. If you have a ton of luggage and are only staying a night or two, you might want to think twice. Better yet, just pack lighter. It's worth the views to have one less outfit.
