Federica is a fabulous host. His apartment is the perfect place to take in the view of the Arno river and also a great jumping on and off point for your stay in fabulous Florence. A nice bottle of wine was provided and the kitchen is equipped nicely. An American style coffee maker is provided which is terrific. A grocery store is close and everything is within walking distance. The apartment is a museum all to itself. There is an elevator and is a very secure place. We would definitely come beck. There is some street noise toward evening in the master bedroom, but nothing a white noise app on your phone can't take care of. We stay in AirBnB reserved places all the time and this is by far the best one we have ever stayed in. Federica, went out of his way to help us with any question or need we had. He even ordered a taxi cab for us on the last day and saw us off to our next destination. We treated his place with respect and he in return treated us with respect. Great food, shopping, and all the sites are just a stones throw away. Do your homework, on the train schedule, the bus schedule, and the taxi schedules and you will have a great time getting around. There is a parking garage nearby so if you have a rental car, it will not be too much of a problem to park, but the way we traveled there and toured there was no need for a car. Highly recommend.
