We booked this place solely on the view! I wanted a space where we had a direct view of the Duomo, but also centrally located. This hit all the boxes for us.
Lorenzo was ALWAYS communicative. He even went a step above and bought me an iron when I asked if there was one available. He made sure to wish me a Happy Birthday on my birthday, which was so sweet, grazie Lorenzo!
He met us with two other friends who help run the AirBnB and all were so friendly and happy to show us amazing local bars and restaurants in Florence. The apartment actually was walking distance to pretty much everything you need/want to see. We only took a taxi to the train when we arrived and left due to large luggage.
Some highlights:
The view every morning is spectacular. If you want to take a mid day nap like we did, listening to the people outside talking in Italian while the bells ring was actually an amazing experience. You really feel in the heart of Florence.
The bed was comfortable! A nice plus always.
We did not use the kitchen while there, but you can and certainly have everything you need.
Closet was appropriately sized for 1-2 people to hang items.
Close to ALL!!!! You have a great view and can walk anywhere easily. Lorenzo is an excellent host and will make sure you know everything you need to know with his guide that he leaves in the room. It literally is a how to do Florence booklet he made with great care, so take advantage of it!
Some tips:
The bathroom is not in the room, it is across the hall, but it is yours privately and not shared. We didn’t mind this, but if you want something in your room then consider this. Also, the shower was a great pressure and warm, but you need to sit down to bathe. I’m 5’ so it was fine, but my boyfriend is around 6’ and had a hard time. That was the only annoying thing to be honest. And finally, you are given 3 keys and the one to the room was a bit tricky. Practice with Lorenzo while he is checking in with you to ensure you’re feeling comfortable with it.
