This apartment is the perfect Airbnb size for 1 or 2 people looking for a cute and clean place to stay that’s close to the train station and easy to navigate to other parts of the city.
The hostess was very nice and quick in responding to several questions we had.
The following are some tips for future visitors: because reaching the apt. requires climbing 35+ steps, be sure you and your suitcase’s weight are up for that.
Allow a few extra minutes in your schedule the morning of departure for stopping by the Mercato to drop off your trash. It’s one block over…not far at all.
And speaking of that, if you’re new to Florence, check out INSIDE of the Mercato —
both levels. It’s soooo close to the apartment and a cool place.
You’ll see Pinocchio souvenirs everywhere in Florence — the birthplace of the author is just a few doors down (#21) from the Airbnb and there’s a sign above the door.
Be sure to close the ground floor door behind you when coming and going. As someone else mentioned, the ground floor hallway is dark but there are light switches by the mailboxes and by the apt door that light the way and auto turn off after a few minutes so you don’t have to walk in the dark or use your phone flashlight.
Our thanks again to our Host :) We hope to return to Florence in a few years and will definitely look to stay here if it’s available.
