Fantastic! Don’t even look at any other Airbnb listing, just book this one right away! If you want to feel like you’ve experience Florence, you don’t even need to leave this apartment to experience it. We opened our windows and enjoyed concerts on two separate evenings! The apartment is on the shaded side of the Piazza, and we had the windows open even in 85° weather. It was so breezy and comfortable. Only used air conditioning in the evenings when we actually wanted to close the windows so we could get some sleep. Florence doesn’t sleep until about 4 AM.
Lisa also made reservations at a fabulous restaurant outside of Florence, in the Fiesole. Perfect view! Treated like King and Queen! Thank you Lisa!
There are three pizzerias below Lisa’s beautiful apartment. The owner of the pizzeria directly below us helped us get in our door one evening when it was a little stuck. He said he’s been there for 20 years helping people get in through that door. It was so lovely!
Lisa has everything: plates, dishes, washer, ironing board, iron, dry rack, lovely bathroom lovely bedroom/living room, nice size wine glasses, what more could you ask for.
The use of electricity, and having to pop the circuit breaker multiple times, was the only issue we had, but nothing that would keep us from renting the apartment again. Just know that if you use the iron, the circuits going to pop and you run downstairs and flip a switch. We silly Americans iron everything. Also the washer has a little gray piece on the back of the handle that you need to move up and down a little bit if the washer door won’t open. If you get it back in place it’ll pop right open. Lisa sent over her daughter Matilda, at midnight because she received our SOS that we were leaving the next day with clothes in the washer at 11:15 PM. We figured out the washer door issue just before Matilda showed up at midnight. That’s fabulous service! Thank you Lisa! Please thank Matilda as well!
P.S. Eat at Ciro’s and Sons.
Fabulous food-best we had in Florence-whether you are celiac (gluten free) or not. They know how to make food-we were so spoiled.
P.S.S. Starbene Pastry shop down street.
Gluten free as well-the eauClaire’s, chocolate ones especially, and the chocolate filled croissants, and the apple turnovers helped me forget that I have celiac disease for a few days. What a treat!!
