We have been to Italy before and always stayed at the best hotels but this time we thought we would try Airbnb to get the flavor of living in the city. We could not have chosen a better place. It located less than 10 minutes walk to the Ponte Vecchio. The Pitti Palace and Bobili Gardens are even closer. Everything you want to see in Florence is practically at your doorstep and you get that extra benefit of a real local experience. We even shopped at the local butcher and fried a rabbit for dinner. You can't do that in a hotel. The space itself is stunning. Antonio is an art restorer and you can see the hand of an artist in the way he and his wife have put together this former restoration studio. It could have been a movie set. The pictures don't do it justice. The beds were comfortable and everything worked. The only mishap was a leak in one of the bathrooms that was very quickly put straight. When we stay in Firenze again, we will stay here!
