The Via delle Oche apartment is amazing. You could not - no matter how hard you tried - to find a more perfectly located apartment for Florence. Two minutes walk to the Duomo; five minutes walk to the Piazzale degli Uffiz and the Uffiz Gallery in the heart of the city. Located on a charming historic street 10 feet from the top ranked gelatoria in Florence and a lot of great restaurants and shops nearby. Check out the Intini e Cellerini alternative jewelry studio a few doors down at 17 and say hello to Niccolo Cellerini, a master in silver and natural stones. He made my wife a set of beautiful silver earrings overnight.
The apartment is immaculate and beautifully decorated in hip ad agency style. You could do a photo shoot there. It is very large with 20 foot ceilings in an historic building and super comfortable. 30 people could come over for a cocktail party and you would have no problem with the space. It also had - after our many weeks traveling in Italy and about 8 other AirBnbs - the only operating clothes washer with a dryer. Amen. Trust me when I say this is a major deal.
Angela was a superb host and very friendly and responsive. We could have not asked for better service and help.
All in all - exceptional in all respects and better than any hotel at four times the price. We loved staying there and absolutely plan on coming back!
