We liked our stay at Fabiola’s place. The place looks much better than the pictures, is very spacious and comfortable (both the bed and the sofa bed are comfortable). The apartment has a walk in closet, which was very spacious so we could store all our luggage in it. The bathroom has both shower and a bath tub (not all apartments in Italy have both). Its less than 5 mins from the Medici Chapel, about 5-10 mins from Accademia (where the famous David is housed), and about 10 minutes from the beautiful Duomo. The Uffizi (20 mins) and the Michelangelo Plaza (about 30 mins) are a little further away. The central market is right across the street. Given the location and the spacious apartment this place is “great value for money” with no frills. Fabiola only provides hand soap and toilet paper, so we purchased paper towels and soaps from the shop nearby, which was fine with us. The kitchen is very well equipped. The only tip we would give guests is that Fabiola works so it’s good to coordinate a reasonably accurate time with her before arriving. We had trouble getting our sim card changed before our travel, which made coordinating difficult if there were last minute changes. We were initially planning to travel in the morning and reach Florence early but since the room could only be ready at 1pm we changed our plans and booked tickets for a later train. Unfortunately the later train was cancelled and a second one delayed. We used a public phone to reach Fabiola but couldn’t, and due to a lack of cell phone couldn’t call her during our journey. She waited for us from 1-2pm. We reached at 3:30pm, waited at the train station till closer to 6pm as that is when Fabiola could get off work again. We were traveling with young kids (our younger one is less than 1) and realized that a cell phone can be very valuable for a good airbnb experience. Also, visitors should get directions from the train station to the apartment, or check with Fabiola for directions (Fabiola sent us directions the day before but we didn’t get to check emails after she sent it). The place is central and is easy to reach, but in Florence there are “red” and “black” apartment numbers, which intersperse each other and are not in order, so it’s better to know exactly where you are going. In spite of all the confusion in the beginning Fabiola welcomed us very warmly and provide us with a lot of useful information about the city and eating. After the arrival everything else was comfortable. Nevertheless, we highly recommend this place to all, and are only providing our experience so others can plan ahead.
