Where does one begin when there is so much positive to say? From the beginning my review of this Airbnb started spinning in my head. What would I mention first? How Francesca came out into the street to greet me late at night when I couldn’t find my way? (Note to all gps marks the location as the wrong end of the street, go all the way down into what feels like an ally) Or do I mention that she had a sampling of her own biscuits and jam waiting on the table? The service was a top ten and I’m quite a seasoned Airbnber (At least five times a year on my partner’s account) The amenities were just what one could ever need, from a soap dispenser in the shower, extra towels, (with a caramel on top ;-) Nutella, chilled water (rare for a European to understand this American taste) and espresso (which Francesca was very helpful in teaching me how to work the machine. An added surprise was the switch on the wall which I discovered worked the skylight! I slept with it open each night as I enjoy the cool fresh air and I swear to you this place is as quiet as out in the country. The bed was comfortable and I loved the rustic/modern headboard and side table, how do I get one of my own? I can see how the open plan would be odd for some but honestly as small as the space is it really is laid out to feel spacious. The antique hand painted 17th century vaulted ceilings help with that too. My that was such a treat to enjoy. The bathroom was fantastic! I have stayed at numerous European small places and the bathroom situations I have had to endure have literally been painfully, blood drawing even. Rest assured this bathroom is perfection. The Murano glass tiles added a touch of class, taste and luxury to the small place and the towel “hooks” cubes really, had me dying to find out where they bought them. The kicker for me was the shower! As a 6ft tall 260lb man I rarely fit in European chairs let alone showers, this one was a dream. The shower was obviously brand new and well kept, clean clean clean! There was plenty of room for me to bathe and to look up and enjoy that 17th century ceiling again, I mean come on!! A ceiling from the 16OOs while your naked and showering!?! Loved it. I had a lot of work and play to fit into my short trip and I loved the convenience of the location. I highly recommend visiting the Palazzo Pitti across the river. With all my picture taking of the breathtaking beauty there my phone was nearly dead when I left, thankfully the apartment was literally on my way from the Palace to the shopping district so I jumped in for a quick charge and a bite. All in all this...
