Valentina is such a gracious host. I came earlier than my appointment time and she was at work. She left her job to meet me near the Duomo she can give me the key. The apartment is exactly what is pictured and described in Airbnb. Clean and more than spacious for a family of three. All our needs and expectations were more than met. All amenities are fully functional. The kitchen is well equiped, it makes you feel at home as everything we needed to cook light meals are there. The A/C on both rooms are quiet enough and have timers that made us sleep very well. The apartment is fairly decorated with adequate lighting. The bathroom is very good. Before we left for Italy I read about mosquito issue from tourists' experience in Italy's hotels. I wasn't able to use my mosquito repellant lotion in Valenina's apartment. There was no mosquito at all. The neighborhood is so quiet and the people are so nice. In fact, we befriended one family next door and we are now Facebook friends. They hardly speak English but they tried their best to express to us their warm welcome. They must be the real Florentines that Valentina stated in her Airbnb advertisement. Bus stops for buses going to attraction sites are less than a hundred feet away from the apartment. Three buses ( #s 11, 36, & 37) that go to the tourist attractions all stop at the nearby bus stops. We always took #11 going to Sta Maria Novella from where we took the buses and trains in going to all the attractions within and outside Florence. #11 stops right in front of the apartment and it comes every 20 minutes from 6:30am to 9:30 pm. Buses 36 & 37 operates even later at night. Eateries and bakeries nearby are just next to the bus stops. There's even a fruit and vegetable store nearby where we bought our fruits for our night snacks. Overall, I will rent Valentina's apartment again should I go back to Florence. Valentina è una padrona di casa cordialissima. Sono venuto prima del mio tempo appuntamento e lei era al lavoro. Ha lasciato il suo lavoro per incontrare me vicino al Duomo che mi può dare la chiave. L'appartamento è esattamente ciò che è raffigurato e descritto in Airbnb. Pulite e più che spaziosa per una famiglia di tre persone. Tutti i nostri bisogni e le aspettative sono state più che soddisfatto. Tutti i servizi sono completamente funzionali. La cucina è ben attrezzata, ti fa sentire come a casa tutto il necessario per cucinare pasti leggeri ci sono. L'A / C in entrambe le camere sono abbastanza tranquille e dispongono di timer che ci hanno fatto dormire molto bene. L'appartamento è abbastanza decorato con adeguata illuminazione. Il bagno è molto buona. Prima di partire per l'Italia ho letto sul problema delle zanzare dall'esperienza dei turisti negli alberghi italiani. Non ero in grado di usare la mia zanzara lozione repellente...
