You can't pick a better location than this apartment. It is in a perfect spot to explore Florence. Ekaterina was the most responsive Airbnb host we had while staying in multiple cities around Italy. She was extremely helpful with recommendations, train schedules and any questions we had. She was very responsive when the extra air conditioner for the second bedroom did not work the first night. She had a brand new one delivered the next day. There was a heat wave while we were there so it was quite hot. They have air in the main room but it's not what Americans are probably used to. That said she fixed the bedroom issue immediately and we were much cooler the rest of the stay. There is only one flight of stairs up to the apartment which is great. There is not a view unfortunately but the apartment is nicely furnished with a lot of general living space. There are lota of shops, restaurants nearby. The apartment isnin an extremely quiet neighborhood. We really enjoyed our time in Florence and you just can't beat the location of this place!
