I spent two wonderful days in Florence, staying at Silvina's apartment with my teenage family. Silvina is an exceptional host and we very much appreciated her warm, friendly and informative welcome. She took great care to make sure we knew how everything worked in the apartment and that we had everything we needed. Silvina's guidance on how to make the most of our short time in Florence was also really helpful. Throughout the booking process, Silvina's communications were prompt and appropriate.

The apartment itself is great, with real character a practical layout and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Whilst it is not the height of urban chic, it is a perfectly pleasant space. And what a location! Everything we wanted to see was a short walk away and its surrounded by great restaurants and bars (and some lovely off-the-beaten track surprises too). Be warned though, there are lots of steep, narrow stairs (but we managed ok with 10 days worth of luggage). And my only minor criticism; one of the twin beds was much too hard for my aging back (but fine for my yoga practicing daughter!)

Overall, a great airbnb with a wonderful host. Recommended.
