Laura's flat is big, beautiful and centrally locacted in the heart of Florence.
Laura was a great host. She was very quick to respond to all our questions. Suzanna, Laura's co-host, was also great. She greated us upom arrival, helped with our luggage, and gave us tips on the transit system.
This is a great place to stay if you have booked any of the walking tours. It is very close to so many attactions. The starting point for most walking tours is just down the street from Laura's house. About a 7 to 10 minute walk. There is a grocery store that is a 3 minute walk from the house and lots a good resturants around the corner.
Her place is very close to the central train station. You can take one of the 9 different buses that pass by her home, at the end of either side of the street. It makes staying out late really easy because so many buses stop near her home.
If you have alot of luggage the taxi ride from the train station was only 10 Euros.
I stayed here with three other adults. My friends and I had planty of room to ourselves. The two bedrooms downstairs had two queen beds with lots of storage to hang up our clothes. There is a air conditioner in every room which was glorious, given the heat waves. Having a washer on site was also very handy.
The loft upstairs had a very comfortable pull out couch with a big skylight that really brightend the space.
The washroom was the largest we had in comparison to any of the airbnb we stayed in Milan, Venice, or Rome. The tub/shower is North American sized, not the smaller shower stall you typically see europe.
The style of the home was very cool. The rustic brick walls were very charming. Between the walls, the loft, the stairs you get a lot of instagram worthy pictures.
All four of us would highly recommend Laura as a host and her lovely home.
