This Airbnb is truly a home. It lives very privately even when outside on the lovely terrace or in the garden (about which much has already been written). It is so comfortable, well-appointed, and clean that I sometimes didn't leave the flat! I can not stress enough how perfect the home is. The hosts we extraordinary throughout, beginning with before I departed the U.S. when they kindly agreed to accept some luggage shipped from the US. Not only that, but they were frequently contacted by customs and the shipping company (due to the fact in sent the pieces "in care of" them). They surely spent their valuable time dealing with my shipping debacle and I will be forever grateful as the pieces were essential for my daughter's start at university in Florence. As noted on the site, it is a bit of a walk to the city centre (25ish minutes), though there is a convenient bus stop and easy taxi dispatch if you don't care to walk. There is a well-stocked "super" market about 6blocks away and there is also a charming "bar" and store up the hill (but beware that the sidewalk is about 15" wide in a few places and.this is a very busy street. That said, the charm of the little bar/market is worth the careful walk for a glass of prosecco, bread, procuitto, baked goods or liquor to enjoy on-site or to bring back "home". A wonderful Florentine experience: I hope to return soon.
