I just returned home after completing a seven night stay in Luigi’s Air BnB. It was a wonderful week-long stay and I could not have asked for better accommodations or a more gracious host. The apartment is located an approximately 25-30 minute walk from the Duomo. While I was there, the temperatures ranged from 34 to 36°, making some of the walks to the center unbearably hot, so I purchased a 10 pack metro pass from a tobacco shop for 14e and used it on quite a few occasions. Bus stops are located very conveniently to the apartment. One is directly across from the cafe which Luigi will give you vouchers, one for each day, to get your morning pastries (2) and either coffee/tea or bottled water. The bus stop across from the café is called Cinema Universale. This is less than a three minute walk from the apartment. The number 6 bus, or often 6B, will take you directly to the main sites or to the Santa Maria Novella train station in less than 10 min. To get to the café, turn right when exiting the apartment, then take your very first left, and the café is about a block and a half up on the left side of the street. The bus stop is directly across the street from the cafe and up a few feet. There is also a tram station (at the stop Paolo Uccello) which is to the left when exiting the apartment. It is about a seven or eight minute walk. The same bus pass can be used for both the tram and the regular buses. I cannot say enough about the quality of the pastries at the café as well as the service. It was a lovely way to start the day and you can either eat in or take your items to go. I always appreciated getting a fresh bottle of water to start my morning travels, not being a coffee drinker. I had an older, short haired lady with a lovely smile who served me every day and even with my lack of Italian and her lack of English, we communicated well. She knew my regular order after a couple of days :) Luigi will give you all of your coupons on your first day. I assume they can be used later in the day as well if one wishes. I had the small room with the twin bed as I was traveling alone. The room was very clean, with excellent linens and towels provided. There is a large wardrobe with many hangers and the two small tables and the bed side stand provide ample space. A small desk lamp and a larger floor lamp gave ample light. The air conditioning was especially appreciated and worked great. Do not forget to turn it off when you leave the apartment for the day as electricity is quite costly in this part of Europe. My bathroom was partway down the hall. While it would have been more convenient to have the bathroom inside the room, it worked out quite well. I believe there are four or five other apartments on my floor, but I only ever saw someone in the hallway one or two times during my week. I know others came and went, but never really heard or saw them. so having to walk multiple times a day down the hall to the bathroom was not an issue as I never ran into anyone else. The bathroom was a good size (for a European bathroom which are much smaller than American ones) with excellent shower water pressure. It was the only place during my three weeks in Italy that I was able to enjoy a super hot shower! Some small hotel-sized shampoo mini bottles were provided as well as a large hand soap pump dispenser, but no other toiletries. This was not a concern for me as I like to use my own toiletries. There was a hairdryer as well. The bathroom can get quite steamed up when showering, but there was a window that I always opened it a crack (just a small crack so as to preserve my privacy) to alleviate that issue. For your safety, remember to lock the window again before you leave the bathroom as it is completely open to the outside (I don’t think there’s any danger of anyone climbing up and in, but best to be safe :) During the middle of my stay, I came back in the evening to find that a thorough cleaning of the bathroom and the bedroom had been done, with fresh towels being left. This was greatly appreciated and I assume happens if one is staying for a few days. Another great feature was the large family size fridge with freezer that was at the end of the hallway. Any guest could store their items in there and I never had a fear that others would take my things. In that same area appears to be where Luigi has his office and I believe he is there every morning for a bit of time. This is a good chance for guests to touch base with Luigi if they have any questions or need any supplies replenished. Luigi is also very easily reached through the Airbnb app as well. On your first day, Luigi will give you a map where he will highlight some restaurants for you. It is true that the apartment is not right at the center of the main sites, but it is a leisurely walk (and remember you are sightseeing the entire journey) or a very quick bus ride and the price certainly cannot be beat. My apartment faced the street and when the windows were open, there was a great deal of noise coming through from vehicles. However, once the windows were closed, there was absolutely no street noise. The room is very well insulated from the street as well as from the neighbouring rooms....
