We had an unforgettable stay here. Vins is a FANTASTIC host! He really deserves an honest review, and I am so happy to share our thoughts with people who are looking for somewhere to stay in Florence for the first time.
- CLEAN. This is priority for me when staying at an air B&B property. I am a total bedding + kitchen + shower clean-freak…especially when it comes to other people's places. This apartment is really clean, the bedding is 4 star hotel standard, even the sofa bed was extremely comfortable. I have to tick this box, no doubt.
- BEST LOCATION. If you don't want to see groups of tourist as soon as you walk out of the front door, but still want to be close to everything, then this is the perfect place. There is a really cool cafe and authentic ice-cream just around the corner, a nice square with good restaurants, a really good fruit & veg shop and a bakery just down the street. There is a fantastic supermarket not too far away, as well as a street with come cool shops, all just a few steps away from Piazza Pitti.
- CONVENIENT. We had homemade breakfast everyday and had coffee and ice cream at the cool cafe around the corner. It felt like being at home…even basic cooking ingredients like olive oil, salt, pepper, vinegar etc, and cleaning items are provided, including my favourite brand of washing tablets :) Vins has honestly thought of everything!
- GREAT HOSTING. Vins made us feel really welcome in this city. He is really friendly and thoughtful. From the bottle of fizzy wine from him on the table when we walked in, to the fantastic service at his restaurant, we can't fault him. The food at his restaurant is also great too, and not over-priced like most others. We kept going back and recommended friends to go as well. We have made a very good friend in Vins. It wasn't something we expected, but so sweet! We really hope we can come back to stay one day!!
