This place and time was the best Airbnb experience I have had to date. Like someone else said, I wish I lived there. It was wonderful to do so for one whole week. The husband and wife hosts were amazing- sincere, helpful, kind and gracious. A friend that came with me had to suddenly leave which made me want to cook at home more and it was wonderful to find so many comforts of home in their place. The bed and futon were very comfortable, esp the main bed. I slept like a baby every night and loved awaking to the scene on the patio every morning. It was close to everything important for me to see- and even more than I ended up exploring, like the hour long walk along the pathway up to the Michaelangleo park and the Bardini Gardens that is less than a 5 min walk away. They lead right into the Boboli Gardens. The Goldenview cafe, restaurant and wine bar, right by the Ponte Vecchio bridge was the best! There's even a vegan cafe a 10 min walk away and the great and inexpensive supermarket right by the Ponte Vecchio bridge. I took the bus back to the train station which was very easy (about a 20 min ride since it has to go a roundabout way). A place to mail postcards and small flat packages was right across the street. The Uffizi and the Dulmo were only maybe a 15 min walk away.
When I return to Firenze, which will hopefully be very soon, I will definitely stay here again if it's available.
Bellisimo....
