Laura’s apartment was clean, comfortable and in a location that is hard to beat. A short walk brings one to all the major sights, and the neighborhood has everything one would want, even a full on American breakfast right downstairs at the Rooster!
The roof deck terrace was lovely, especially in the evening. It was very special to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the nightly show put on by the swallows of Florence. Some bug spray is advised, though. The birds are not there for the tennis.
The hot water is excellent, the kitchen is well equipped enough for basic meals, and the clothes washing machine was a godsend.
As is clearly stated in Laura’s description, the apartment is a walk up. Pack accordingly.
The best part of all was Laura. She took the time to show us how everything in the apartment worked, made notes on a map of great places to eat and things to see, and was amazingly responsive and helpful when we reached out during our stay. We have used Airbnb many times, and Laura is a star. Hard to imagine a better host.
