We called Clementina from the train station and she waiting for us when we arrived at the apartment by taxi a few minutes later. She was very welcoming. She gave us a good orientation for the apartment (how to use the appliances (including the washing machine, which was awesome to have).
The apartment was absolutely stunning, even better than the pictures. It was incredibly spacious for my wife and I. First level was combination living room and kitchen with a lav. 20 foot ceilings with beautiful exposed wood beams. 10 foot tall double windows that opened over the Pizza Strozzi. Great people watching when we were in the apartment.
Kitchen seemed very well equipped, though I confess that the most we did was heat water for tea and reheat leftover pizza.
Loft had a love seat that opened to a sleeper (which we did not use), with a wall-mounted flat screen TV (which I don't thank used at all during our entire week in Florence). Beyond the loft that was a hall with lots of storage so she could unpack and settle in. Bedroom and a very comfortable bed and a walk-in closet, which I used.
Double doors off the bedroom led to a terrace with searing for four. We also used the terrace to set up the clothes drying rack when we did laundry.
Entire apartment.was spotlessly clean. Fairly recently renovated and beautifully done with rich wood floors and molding. Extra linens and towels and pillows. Could not havebeen nicer.
Clementina gave us a list of her favorite restaurants in the neighborhood, in La Bussola, a great pizzeria right around the corner. Apartment was in the heart of old Florence, high end shopping, and two blocks from Pizza Republican, with beautiful sidewalk cafes, etc. Impossible to beat the location.
Overall, a fantastic location and a great Air BNB experience.
