If you are looking for a central place to stay in Florence then look no further. First our host was great. We were late getting in and we stayed in contact all day and they were able to meet our time frame. The unit was amazing. Great for a family of four. Very private, quiet and had great air conditioning in each room for those hot days. The kids slept downstairs and had their own beds. We slept in a loft. The unit was across the street from the Accademia building and with in a 6-7 min walk to the Florence Cathedral. Also a grocery store a couple doors down. Our first nite we ate dinner at the ristorante accademia which was recommended by our host and it was amazing. A real local establishment. We can’t say enough about this home. One thing to be mindful of is there is only one bathroom and it is upstairs in the loft. This was not a problem for us.
