We took a cab (25 Euros) from Florence Airport to Monica's place. Sweet Monica met us at the door. First impression - super, super nice and friendly. She answered all our questions and concerns prior and during our stay promptly. The apartment is on the ground floor and she and her husband live upstairs. Her family has lived here for 5 generations and the building is 1200 years old. The courtyard in front of the apartment is beautiful and the apartment is updated, lovely, clean, and very comfortable. There is also an enchanting private garden in the back with turtles. Monica welcomed us with fruits, a bottle of wine, candies, milk and yogurt in the refrigerator. We felt like family and honored guests. The apartment is located south of the Arno River and near the Ponte Alle (Bridge) of Grazie. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to Ufizzi and Piazza della Signoria. The only thing I would like to mention is that there are a couple steps up to the walk in shower, so you need to pay attention while in the bathroom. On the morning of our departure, Monica arranged for a taxi to pick up us and to take us to the train station (16 Euro). We HIGHLY recommend Monica's place and Monica is the one of the best hosts we have ever had with Airbnb!
