You can expect everything that they wrote on the description plus a lot of treats!. I can say they exceeded my expectations and it really is a luxury experience. I lived in Florence previously and worked there, so I knew the city pretty well when I booked the property. It is for me the best location. The street is a very central one but at the same time a small street that you can come in and out like a local in a discreet way, and in a minute you are in the most beautiful and expensive road to shop for luxury clothing. Also if you love wines opposite Tommy Hilfiger you have the enoteca Antinori in the Antinori Palace (main Tuscany wine producers).
About the host, I was received by Filippo, a very charming friendly man, right on time, and dedicated to explain everything in detail, didn’t make me feel like he was in a rush to do another activity but was there a 100 percent.
Every detail has been thought of, they had several different beverages on the fridge, a nice bottle of red wine to share, essentials for maintaining the kitchen like liquid soap, sponge for washing dishes, kitchen towel rolls, cleaning products, waste bags.....they have a cool coffeemaker, free coffee sachets and teabags, selection of sweets and chocolates in the living room, flyers to plan tourism (restaurants-taxis-museums-maps-etc), in the entrance a book with info of Florence and to contact them for anything), in the bedroom nice bathroom products (powerful hairdryer, soap, several towels with different sizes, a lot of toilet paper, tissues, etc).
The place is impeccable, cleaned to a very high standard, no dust at all, clean sheets and towels, all dishes and kitchen shiny.
The lightning can be switched on and off everywhere and switches are even grouped to turn on different lights together.
For someone who likes the right room temperature, they have a powerful heating system that besides having very tall ceilings you can warm the rooms fast, and they have air conditioning or opening the large windows will get you there too at this time of the year. Oh and also extra pillows and a warm blanket for the bed are available.
When you are getting ready in the morning you have another blind that lets light in through the windows but gives you privacy to move around freely.
The WiFi password is written next to the tv and the WiFi works very well (in Italy, buildings that are historic like this one, normally you cannot get proper WiFi connection).
Have in mind that this is an antique building and that the center of Florence is busy, so the car noises etc through the small streets is normal, but the hosts have provided earplugs on each bedside table just in case and because Florence has the river, you can have mosquitos, but they provided me with different kind of mosquito repelling protection like a plugged “vape”, wipes, spray....and I have encountered cero “Zanzare” in the flat.
All communications through the app or WhatsApp, very good!.
I wanted to stay longer and I will definitely return.
Thank you for this experience! Traveling alone is a pleasure to find help and to take if worries of my mind.
