This apartment is really special and we appreciated the warm welcome that the hosts offered us. We noticed the high quality products they left for us, from the soaps and bath products, the fluffy white towels and bathrobes, stocked fridge to get us through the first days, wine, fresh flowers, and gourmet food products to try. After staying in many other Air BnBs where everything is done on the cheap, we were grateful for their thoughtfulness. We could really feel that their warm welcome was sincere.
If you stay here, note that it is not in the very very center of the historic area, but close enough. We were 100 m from the Arno River and enjoyed our evening walks to see the sunsets which were spectacular. It's a quiet neighborhood so you will not hear party goers or trash trucks in the middle of the night. But that means it's a slightly longer walk to get a quick coffee or groceries (5-10 minutes). If you don't mind walking everywhere and have good shoes, then it's perfect! We also enjoyed walking some of the side streets to get a more authentic view of what it is like for locals who live in Florence. We would definitely chose to stay there again on a future trip.
