WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! When I walked into Vasily's place for the first time, I was blown away. Vasily has not just created a work of art that can be appreciated for its beauty, he has created an inspiring experience that captures the spirit of an era that takes you back to what it might have been like to live when the Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore was being built. It's an incredible living museum that is also comfortable and inviting. My daughter was right at home writing a letter with her feather dip pen and ink, while it took me 20 minutes to brush my teeth in the master bathroom as I couldn't stop admiring the details on the walls and ceiling.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Even though it was just one night, it was so worth it. The apt was well-equipped and the beds extremely comfortable. From the initial contact to the final goodbye, communication was fantastic. Irina was so kind to meet us when we first arrived. She gave us a comprehensive orientation of the place including some background history. The extra treats were so thoughtful. My daughter and I felt very fortunate to discover Vasily's place. The apt is so unique and Vasily and Irina are truly gracious hosts. Highly recommended!!
