Ben offers an amazing guest house experience beyond our wildest expectations. The Airbnb on the family’s property in Florence is on a hilltop that is about 25 minute walk from the heart of 15-16th century Florence,and close to a major super market for home cooking. There is parking right next to the guest house, if you bring or rent a car, as we did. The pool is lovely and totally clean and well maintained. A wonderful outdoor dining deck is close to the unit, as is outdoor clothes drying. The washing machine is in the kitchen, along with an excellent dishwasher. We 4 stayed 12 nights, so we found the guest house especially nice for those days we just wanted to relax and do domestic maintenance, or explore the grounds, rather than rushing around. Ben maintains a full selection of guide books and maps to help us find our way around Florence. Bus service is available at the foot of the hill (which is steep, and has typically narrow, scary 1- and 2-way streets). If you rent a car, get full insurance as driving in Florence is a challenge for the uninitiated. We avoided any accidents, but full protection reduced any worry. Have fun here, the cautions are far outweighed by the joys of Florence.
