This was the best experience with a reservation through AirBNB. We were two couples renting this apartment. The place was absolutely perfect. it was within the walking distance of all the points of interest in Florence - all within 5 to 20 minutes of walking. We did not have to rent a car; we did not have to ride a bus or Taxi either. The only time we used a taxi was to get to Hamid's appartment from Airport.
Hamid responded to my email, before the trip, immediately. He answered all my questions and provided all the information, including his phone number, how to text him, how far the city center was, how to get around, etc. We called him from Florence airport, he was waiting for us. when we arrived, he kindly helped us with our luggage. He was a very gracious host. the rooms were very clean. He had provided all the necessary kitchen and bathroom amenities, including clean towels and sheets, toilet papers, etc. He even provided a bottle of wine and clothes washer soap. He showed us the location of the supermarket, a very nice coffee shop with great cappuccino and delicious pastries with very reasonable prices - about 50 meters from the apartment. He had provided the maps of the Florence City Center - showing all the points of interest and he showed them on the map to us and patiently answered all of our questions. The only thing that was a surprise to us was the daily tax that he had to collect for the city in addition to our rent (2.5 Euros per day per individual). (Note: Later on, when we returned to Florence and stayed in a hotel for our last day in Italy the hotel collected 4.5 Euros per day per individual in cash for city tax in addition to the cost of our hotel room!!)
Hamid's apartment had all the utensils for cooking, but we only ate breakfast there and the rest of the meals in restaurants to taste Italy's foods.
In the apartment when we opened the windows, we had a nice breeze through the apartment and especially at nights the apartment was cool. However, the the best thing we liked about this apartment was its closeness to city center and the coffee shop with the home-made pastries. Hamid also told us about a food court with very good prices within 10 minutes of the apartment - we went there often.
