Ilaria’s apartment in florence is just perfect. It’s like home after home. On our arrival Ilaria was waiting for us and she is an extremely sweet and helpful lady. She explained us about all the facilities available in the apartment and everything looked perfect. Ilaria is very cooperative and responded to all our queries immediately.
The apartment has got all the basic amenities including sufficient kitchenware , washing machine ,ironing box etc. Every nook and corner of the apartment is thoughtfully done up and maintained well. The upholstery was very clean and hygienic . The attic space is a very cosy and lovely space and children simply loved it.
Though it’s our first booking on Airbnb we never felt anything strange about the whole experience. It was very comforting and we were absolutely at home. In fact when we came back from Rome after a day trip we were pleasantly surprised to find lots of fresh fruits on the dining table provided by Ilaria as a compliment...... so thoughtful of her.
The location of the apartment is absolutely perfect. You hv the train , bus and tram stations within walking distance and many of the historical monuments are around this place.
A small suggestion to Ilaria and Airbnb... the direction to the apartment can be little more precise and simple on Airbnb site. It can be like this
“ As you come out of Santa Maria novella Railway station you have to take right and u find a few steps going down. On climbing down the steps you find a tram station to your right. You have to take the street straight in front of you keeping the tram station on to your right. As you enter the street you find the traffic signal a few yards away. At the signal take left into della scala street and walk for another 50 yards or so . On the left you have Ilaria s apartment...12 della scala . The whole distance you can cover in less than 7 minutes time.”
I strongly recommend Ilaria ‘s apartment to anyone who is visiting Florence.
Please note that as the apartment is on the 3rd floor and there is no lift. It may not be advisable for elders and people with orthopaedic / cardiac issues etc.
