This was, by far, one of the most outstandingly good Airbnb experiences I have ever had. I've stayed in quite a few earlier, but what makes this one extra special is the host- Marina. She's absolutely lovely- her attention to detail is incredible and she's amazingly helpful. She gave us so many useful local.tips- ranging from places to eat to convenient public facilities! She's very responsive- instant replies to queries. We had gone for the Giostra del Saracino, and she was so nice that while it was going on, she kept explaining it to us and translating the Italian! Her English is also very good , so even though my husband learnt some Italian, there was no need for that at all to communicate with her.
As for the listing, it's absolutely perfect. Gorgeous perfect location- lovely street that's very safe and very quiet, but also a very convenient walking distance to the station and all the regular tourist attractions. Supermarket very nearby and as for eating places, apart from several very good ones, Mercato Centrale is literally a 5 minute walk away, and has everything one would ever want to eat. The shower is great, excellent water pressure and hot water all the time. The kitchen is very well equipped. And as for the bedroom, suffice it to say, that was the best sleep I've had in more than a year!! It's also great that there's aircon. More than enough towels and bedsheets were provided , all very clean and nice. It was a great stay, and really added to my enjoyment of Florence as a city!
As you can see, my review is filled with superlatives because it was such a great experience. You should book this listing without a second thought, I guarantee you'll love it!!
