This has to be one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had. Lacopo was a brilliant host, nothing was too much trouble. We arrived early from the airport and he was able to accommodate us by letting us come straight there. He was helpful showing us round and when we got soaked in the rain, he came and put the heating on as my friend was ill with a cold. The apartment has everything there, there is a comfortable bed, and even the sofa bed was really comfortable too. It has a great shower and we took advantage of the garden and had breakfast there every morning and a drink in the evening before we went out.
It’s a ten minute walk to the bridge and then you are in the city. We walked every where as Florence is easy to get around.
What a neighbourhood! It’s quiet and believe me when you have been in the city all day you will want to come back to a peaceful environment. There is a supermarket just across the road and two pasticciera’s at the end of each road which sells amazing bread. There are places to eat which are away from tourist traps, they have amazing ambience, friendly staff, realistic prices and gorgeous food and it’s where the locals go. Places to eat - Trattoria San Antagostino and Trattoria dell Orta are just round the corner and there are so many to choose from.
I will definitely come back here to Florence and stay at Lacopo’s apartment.
