We had a very positive Airbnb experience with Alber and the location. Alber does a thourough and friendly job of orienting his guests to the property and the location is close to major sites and shopping. Our room was close to the street, and, as one reviewer has already pointed out, there is street noise because of the set up of the market nearby. However, this did not bother us; it is part of life in Florence. Take time to talk with Alber, he is knowledgeable about the city, helpful, and friendly. The room was big and it was nice to have access to a living space and kitchen. We would definitely stay here again when we return to Florence.
