This was my first Airbnb experience and I can only hope all my others are half as good. Laura responded immediately to my request to stay for 3 nights and gave me clear directions to her home. She even prepared me a welcome soup, which was perfect after a long day of carrying a 22kg backpack. Her home is decorated very lovingly, making the stay a very refreshing change after weeks of hostels and hotels. There is a bus stop just 2 minutes walk from her door takes you directly to Palazzo Saint Marco, a scenic 15 minute ride taking you to the city centre. Also, there is a supermarket near her place allowing you save a lot of money on whatever you may need (1/3 the price of things in the city). The last night of my stay was especially memorable. The three of us, Laura, Josefin (a friend I met in Florence), and I stayed up until 3am drinking wine and exchanging stories. I have been backpacking for a month and this was my warmest experience yet.
I hope your stay with Laura will be just as enjoyable!
