Words cannot express what a "super host" Benjamin is. We were looking for the authentic Florence experience and we sure got it!
Centrally located, next to the pleasant plaza Santa Croce, the apartment was incredibly spacious and inviting. It felt like a true home. Our bedroom had a closet, desk, and extremely comfortable bed. The rest of the apartment also had high ceilings and 15th century paintings. Absolutely incredible! For being the only apartment we shared a space with the owner, the experience was beyond easy and natural. Benjamin welcomed us into his home like family.
Friendly, charismatic, generous and easy going are some are just some ways to describe Benji. He immediately offered us personal insight into his hometown. He was the perfect balance between allowing us our space and being involved in our Florence experience. We feel like we were able to see the true Florence with Benjis guidance. If he tells you to go to a sandwich shop, go! The apartment is literally walking distance for all major sites. With the combination of personality and accommodation, I cannot recommend this listing highly enough.
