Our trip to Italy was highlighted by our stay at Lisa's apartment in Florence, which was also our first Airbnb experience. Our taxi brought us right to the door where Lisa was waiting, where she helped us upstairs and gave us a brief rundown of the apartment, which included a very helpful binder of tips, recommendations, and a couple of maps. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable, and we LOVED the location overlooking Piazza Signoria -- we enjoyed looking out over the square while we were in the apartment and the weather was perfect to where we didn't need to use the heating or AC. The bed was comfortable -- very welcome after our most uncomfortable bed at a hotel in Rome. The kitchen was stocked well enough for us to cook breakfast with a few groceries we had purchased. And the WiFi worked great while we were there.

The stairs were quite a climb, so we tried to plan our days with as few returns home as possible. And also being right above the piazza, you will have some noise. We like to fall asleep with the TV on anyway, so the sound helped to drown most of it out, and it would quiet down shortly after midnight. The only issue was the first night, the streetsweepers were making a lot of noise and one parked *right under* the window for several minutes while it was running at around 4-5am. It was much quieter the second night.

Would certainly consider staying here again and recommend it to anyone!
