It was my first experience in Italy and my first experience with Airbnb. And it was one of my best experiences ever!
Roberta and her husband Paolo are very kind and welcoming. These things maybe seem small to you, but they were very important for me:
- Paolo kindly came and took our suitcases and carry them himself to the flat. It was very gentlemanly of him.
- They had bought a bottle of tasty red wine with a lovely "Welcome to Florence" message for us.
- on arrival my friend asked Roberta where she can buy shoes as hers were not comfortable and before she answers, Roberta asked her what size are you? so she can give her one of her owns. which means A LOT to me. when a stranger says something like this, you feel very close.
- We asked them to book us a taxi to airport and they kindly did. They could easily give us a cab phone number but they didn't.
- During our 3 day visit she was in touch with us and checking on us.

We fell in love with this flat the second we arrived. It used to be a church and the architecture has done a brilliant job modernising it.

The view both from the bedroom and living room is amazing. You are in the heart of the city. we didn't take a taxi even once, you can walk from here to almost all of the sights.

Thank you so very much Roberta and Paolo.
