Laura's place is perfect for so many reasons. We have stayed in many, many AirBnB's all over the world. It's very rare that everything about a stay is just right, but that is exactly the case for Laura's wonderful apartment. There is not a more personable, thoughtful, informed, and caring host than Laura. Communication is fast and effective. If we had a question or concern, Laura managed it within minutes and often went well beyond what we needed. She and her fabulous family were a huge comfort to us during our stay of almost 3 months. The apartment is also a treat. It's large with divided rooms that gave my husband and me our own space when we needed it. The light shines in large windows and brightens the place all day. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for cooking meals, and cleaning supplies are plentiful. There are plenty of toiletries for use and lots of towels and linens. The location of the apartment was ideal for us. It is in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to 3 grocery stores, shops, restaurants, and cafes. Public transportation is just steps from the front door. There is a large park just a few minutes up the hill from the apartment with great views across the rooftops of Florence. The main tourist attractions are an easy 20-minute walk from the apartment side of the river (or you can take the bus), so you can enjoy all that Florence has to offer and then escape the crowds to a quiet, peaceful setting. It is the best way to really experience Florence. There is not a better setting, value, or host for your stay in Florence. We felt like we were home visiting family. You will be so happy with your stay in this authentic Florentine home.
