Our stay at Barbara's apartment was one of our best Airbnb experiences. We communicated numerous time beginning months before to the day of check-in. She was more than accommodating to include having her husband meet us to ensure we avoided the Florence car exclusion zone so we would avoid a very expensive fine.
The apartment was exactly as described. It is an a very clean efficiency unit with every accommodation we needed. This included a comfortable bed, an updated bathroom, full kitchen, and a very secure entry.
Located in one of the best areas for visiting Florence, it is only a 10-15 walk all to the major attractions. It is an urban area with apartment living and surrounded by numerous shops, Italian and ethnics restaurants, markets, and other businesses you'd find in any urban area. We walked throughout the area over three days and always felt totally safe. The area is lively during the day, but very quiet late at night.
You can't go wrong choosing this place as a base for your Florence visit. Batbara will be a great host.
