Camilla is a wonderful host and we had an amazing time at her place.
PROS
Location - a quick walk to all of the sites, but far enough away that it was quiet enough for us to sleep at night. The apartment is on the ground floor but has a private locked entrance with only 1 other air bnb in the hallway. Very safe!
Kitchen - fully stocked, including some spices/cooking ingredients. We made breakfast most mornings.
Laundry - we were grateful to be able to wash our clothes, since we packed lightly. We are used to having a clothes dryer in the US but used the drying rack and had no issues.
Bathroom - a hair dryer with attachments was provided, as was the BEST shower I've ever used! I would have stayed in there the entire stay if I could! She also provided shampoo/body wash combo, but I had brought my own.
Communication - any time I messaged Camilla, she responded within 30 minutes. We never had any issues that needed immediate attention, but she still made sure to communicate with me anyway.
CONS
None! But see my notes below
Notes:
The bed isn't giant, so if you are looking for a traditional queen size American bed, this will be cozier for you. Hope you and your significant other are getting along :)
October has mosquitoes in Florence (who knew?); Camilla has a citronella candle outside and a bug atomizer inside, but bug spray is a good thing to pack. Because of the bugs, we didn't spend as much time on the patio as we had hoped to, but we still enjoyed having the option. They DO sell bug spray at the pharmacies, but I didn't figure that out until the end of our trip. Oh well!
