What can one say about Silvia's apartment in Florence other than perfect. Silvia greeted us upon our arrival to the building (which was about a 20 minute direct walk from Firenze S M Novella train station), and made us feel right at home. The apartment is on the top floor of a walk up (nothing we weren't used to, being from NYC) and Silvia even helped us carry a bag up. Once you get to the top your jaw drops at the stunning view of the Duomo staring right back at you. The view aside, the apartment was fantastic. You had two entries into the unit, one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen and the apartment was very clean and tidy and all the pictures were true to what was displayed. The bathroom was immaculate and the kitchen was perfect for us to cook and even do laundry in the washer. Silvia was also very sweet and left us some goodies for breakfast and snacks to make our mornings less hectic in running our for things. As for the location and the neighborhood, you are in the middle of everything. You are a 5 min walk from the Duomo, and you have great shopping and restaurant/bar options within a few minutes of any direction of the the front door. This is a top class Airbnb and it was a fantastic experience.
