If you’re looking for a rental in Florence and this fits your price range, I implore you to stop searching and book Egla’s place now. My wife and I have stayed in many an Airbnb in many a city and all pale in comparison to our 4 nights here. The views are incomparable, with a sweeping panoramic angle on the entire city center from the balcony as well as window views to the east, west, and south. The Duomo will feel so close you can touch it, the sunset will light up the living room, and the evening’s breeze and birds will dance around the apartment. Every window is a photo opportunity and there are many, many windows; so get ready to overdo it.
The neighborhood is wonderful as well. As soon as you are downstairs you’ll find everything you need from local bars to high-end shopping, and you are no more than a 5 minute walk from the famed Ponte Vecchio bridge. At any rate, I would highly recommend staying on the south side of the river as it offers all of the access with much less of the crowd.
The apartment had everything we needed for our stay including a small but functional kitchen, a comfortable living room with smart TV, and even a washing machine/clothes hanger for those sweaty summer t-shirts. Plus, the building has a cramped but well-maintained elevator for simplifying travel to/from the top floor.
Last but not least, check-in and check-out were both a breeze as Egla is a friendly, helpful, and communicative host. I promise that you’ll want for nothing and love every moment of your stay should you book this place. My wife and I are already planning our return.
