Hands down one of the best hosts I’ve ever encountered through Airbnb. She went out of her way to drop off some mosquito repellent and even arranged for a taxi for my wife and I on very short notice. Very impressive response time for all questions we asked during our stay.
If you are considering this Airbnb, please note that the host more than adequately described its proximity to Florence center. If you aren’t one for walking then I doubt you’ll enjoy Florence as a whole let alone this Airbnb location. My wife rolled her ankle during our stay (on her own accord in Florence center) and it severely impacted her walking capability. That injury made it difficult for her to complete the walking journey from the Airbnb location to the Florence center. Without the injury though the walk is a nice leisurely stroll that anyone can do with 15 to 20 mins.
I wouldn’t recommend taking the bus during your stay anywhere in Florence. The bus seemed to be always packed full of people (we attempted to catch the bus 3 times from Florence center to the Airbnb... after 3 full buses we just walked....). I estimated the time saved on the bus during traffic hours (which is like always there haha), and you’re barely saving 8 to 10 mins max.
The Airbnb is in a nice location, always noticed the neighborhood people always greeted each other and us. Seemed to be a family neighborhood since there was a lot of kids nearby. Theres a pharmacy, pizza place, kebab place nearby also and a cafe next door.
