We arrived a little late to Karen's after missing a street and trying to take a short cut, not a good idea, but were able to get directions from a person on the street.,Karen also texted us to see if we were okay.
We were thrilled with the apartment and the value. We had just travelled from Venice where we were in a small dark hotel room, and Karen's place was so bright, spotlessly clean, and well appointed, and comfy!
Karen provided us with a map of good places to get wine, groceries, lunch etc. we loved all of her suggestions. She even made reservations for us to meet friends who were in Florence at the time. (VRBO users whose apartment was last minute unavailable). Karen was so easy to contact, we used What's up as well as the Airbnb app. She provided many extras such as coffee, milk, olive oil, jams , butter etc, so we only needed to shop for actual food ideas. The area was more affordable than most, and we were able to buy delicious Italian breads etc, and wine at all price ranges.
Karen provided wonderful linens and towels, the apartment is perfect! There were many travel books etc, but too little time to read them as much as I would have liked. The terrace was perfect to relax on, it was hot, and the wifi worked great!
We felt so lucky in finding this place in this neighbourhood, and wouldn't change a thing! It enhanced our time in Florence so much, and I would definitely tell any friend to try to reserve it!
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and accepting us in your apartment!
