What can I say - super cosy apartment, excellent location, nice host!
Upon arrival Rosy briefed us on the neighborhood, places to visit, where to shop and where to eat. After the briefing she gave us a map of Florence with her notes and a welcome bottle of Tuscan wine :)
We've been using Airbnb many times but never had such a warm welcome!
The apartment:
It is actually much nicer than on the pictures: nicely renovated and very cosy, bathroom hardware is new and of a high quality, the kitchen had all the necessary supplies and even a dishwasher (that we didn't use). We felt at home indeed at Rosy's apartment!
Location:
The apartment is located in a less touristy area near San Ambroglio market but still in the historical center of Florence. We took a taxi from S.M.Novella train station - it cost us 15 euros. On the way back we took a bus (the bus stop is 2 min walk from the apartment) however the buses are less convenient if you have luggage - so take a cab instead.
Shopping for groceris:
We did grocery shopping at San Ambroglio market - fresh mozzarella di buffalo from Salerno, ripe tomatoes, prosciutto and bread fresh from the oven for our breakfast - I still remember the taste ! :)
I would highly recommend it and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when I am in Florence!
