Donatella's apartment is better than a 4/5* hotel! It's stylish, modern, super clean and well-equipped. I have seen many airbnbs in Florence, but this apartment is just the best:
- it is bright and spacious
- the bathroom is extremely new and of high-quality (try the amazing rain shower!)
- washing machine
- the kitchen is open and also very new, I really enjoyed cooking there
- the balcony is rather small but still big enough for 1-4 people enjoying a red wine in the afternoon/evening sun
- big and nice dinner table
- huge TV
- very comfortable and high-quality bed
- comfortable sofa
- as a woman traveling alone, I also felt super safe in this apartment.
Overall, this apartment just makes you feel like at home (or better ;-))
It is situated about 2 mins by foot from the main train station (which is great if you have to take a train or bus from time to time) and 5-10 mins from the main sights in Florence, so the location is just perfect. About 10 meters from the apartment, there is a supermarket where you can get everything that you need; also there are many restaurants and other shops. Even though the apartment complex is on a busy street, the apartment itself faces the other direction and is very quiet. I stayed in this apartment for work reasons and even when working from home, it was quiet and there is plenty of space to work. I especially loved the small desk in the big bedroom which is very comfortable for doing some work! More importantly for work, there is a really fast WiFi.
And of course, Donatella is such a friendly host and always replied within minutes, I really appreciated that!
Donatella, I thank you a lot for hosting me & I would definitely come back!!
