We have stayed in many AirBNB’s in the past and we always read as many reviews as possible to form an objective opinion. We arrived a little early but Cristian arranged for us to drop our bags while the ladies finished cleaning the apartment. This is the most perfectly located spot in Florence which allowed us to walk through town, return to the best air conditioning anywhere in Europe to cool off and relax before venturing out again. Bar Gusto (downstairs) is a great spot to grab a coffee and start the day. Pitti Palace is about 150 yards from the apartment and a superb museum without crowds. 300 yards from the Ponte Vechio etc. Here’s a hint if you are driving and need to park your car: Porto Romano Parking is 30 Euros a day and opens at 7:00am. Well, 7:15am really (Italian time) and is a 5 minute drive from the apartment. It’s a 20 minute walk. Suggest you pull up to the apartment, park the car on the sidewalk (mirrors in so a bus does not remove them), grab the keys from the bar and have someone run the bags upstairs while you remain with the car. Then head to the parking garage. Suggest that you bring a bunch of waters upstairs on the first trip to save you from having to go downstairs to quench your thirst after the hike to the 3rd floor. Quite a few stairs to climb but all travel has some trade-offs. The location, two king beds, internet, and icy cold A/C made this a fantastic central point to explore Florence. If you choose to cook be advised that you will need to bring what you need as the pots and pans are limited, but no reason to cook in Florence. Cristian checked in on us to make sure things went smoothly and next time we are in Florence we will definitely stay again. Enjoy!
