This was our first time using AirBnB and it was wonderful. We used another vacation rental site for an apartment in Positano and the experience was vastly different. Barbara was a great host from the very start. First, her communication and responses could not have been faster. She answered all questions quickly, provided recommendations/advice for places during our stay and was great to work with. Her father met us at the train station and helped us back to the apartment, walking us through all of the info we needed. There was a great welcome kit for us, with many treats that we enjoyed during our stay. I will also note that we had a last minute emergency and had to make a change to our trip and Barbara was great and so flexible with us that it saved us a lot of stress.

The apartment was just as the pictures showed (perfect) and the location could not have been better. We were traveling through Italy by train, so we were easily able to get to and from the apt with our big suitcases without any trouble. We were also within walking distance to all of the major attractions within Florence. I'm not a big walker and we walked everywhere, without ever jumping on a bus or in a taxi. This was our first trip to Florence and it won't be our last. When we come back, I sure hope this apartment is available again!
