I’ve been fortunate to have visited Florence many times. It’s like visiting a cherished old friend. And now, discovering this Airbnb is like finding the perfect place to call home. Not only is it in the perfect location if you want to be close to the Ponte Vecchio and the shortest walk to all of the most meaningful Florentine sites of the Renaissance, but the host has created a most inviting and thoroughly comfortable place to stay.
We arrived after almost two weeks of staying in excellent 4-star hotels while visiting other Italian cities. And while our hotels were extremely lovely with first-rate amenities and services, the best conditions were in this Airbnb. We discovered spacious bedrooms with excellent lighting and large wardrobes, flat screen TVs, desks, and plentiful electrical outlets; very comfortable beds with good quality linens; well designed bathrooms; and a surprisingly well-stocked kitchen with a generous supply of daily needs including bottled water, coffee, juice, and some essential staples. Perhaps the best feature was how responsive, helpful and reliable Eugenio and Daniela were with all questions and requests. This included everything from restaurant recommendations to securing a 4AM taxi for our departure to the airport.
If you are new to Airbnb, this one may convince you to never bother with hotels again. And if you are an Airbnb veteran, you will recognize this as belonging to the best category
