We were thirsty when we arrived. But we didn’t have to go immediately to the nearby grocery store because there were water bottles in the ref. And bread too😊 thank you too for the generous extra blankets and towels and ground coffee to brew.
The rooms were very spacious. It is nicer than in the pictures. The A/C was a welcome respite from the summer heat. Florence was the last leg of our trip and the apartment gave us the right space to recharge.
If you don’t want to walk, the bus stops are a minute walk from the apartment. We took bus n 11 to reach historical sites. It’s a very short bus ride. We tried walking to the uffizi gallery and it took us 20mins. Along the way however you pass by the pitti palace and the ponte vecchio. There’s a nearby pharmacy, 3 min walk in porta romana. And a grocery, around 2min walk.
But what i loved most was the host’s promptness in answering my phone-in questions and her recommendations such as the best place to dine and nearest place to rent a car. We truly appreciated the warm welcome after our horrible hotel management encounters in Rome. One thing i learned, best to book in airbnb because it’s more responsive to travel complications than agoda or booking.com.
Thank you Ulrika for hosting us😀
