This place is great for the value. Self check-in was pretty straightforward and the location was unbeatable. We never got to meet our host since she does not live there, but the communication through AirBnB was pretty good. The bed was comfortable, the room had a lot of light, and the bathroom was clean. We were worried about the noise because the room was facing the Accademia, but it was pretty quiet after 6:30 pm. I think what made this place outstanding is that the host allowed us to keep our bags in the apartment after check out. That made all the difference since we had the flexibility to walk around Florence all day, pick up our stuff at 7:00 pm, and head to the train station later in the day. Heads up, if you are planning on having breakfast at the AirBnB, ask the host for a detailed list of food items she's providing. We were a little lost in the kitchen because we had no idea what was provided by the host and what was other guest's food.
