After spending a month in this apartment, I can say it was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had!
The self-checkin is great. Since my plane was so delayed, I ended up arriving much later than expected. But the fact that I could check in without anyone else there was great!
The space itself was very clean and exactly as shown in the pictures. There’s lots of natural light and a great little balcony for your morning coffee. It was very clean and well maintained.
While it’s not in the centre of town, you can walk there in about 15-20 minutes. It’s actually a really nice walk with lots to see along the way. I actually prefer a location like this since you’re close to the centre, without having to deal with the noise and people. It’s a very quiet neighbourhood.
There’s a fantastic restaurant/pizzeria just down the street (ZeroZero Pizzeria) and there are 2 large supermarkets within a 5 minute walk (Esselunga and COOP) with anything you could need.
I was amazed by how fast the communication is with the host. No matter what time of day I would message, I generally had a response within 30 minutes. Luckily, I didn’t have any issues that needed their immediate attention, but when I asked for recommendations on a taxi service or other questions like that, they were very quick to respond.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this apartment to anybody looking for a long or short term stay in Florence!
