Everything we hoped for in our time in Florence, affirming all the reasons we prefer Airbnb to a hotel. Warm greeting by Silvia, great location around the corner from Piazza San Marco with cafe for morning coffees, convenience of a taxi stand, and walkable to everything. The home is in a secure courtyard, with cute outdoor sitting area. The apartment itself is so lovely - very spacious, very clean, nicely furnished, and plenty of kitchen amenities & supplies to make it easy to feel at home. There are few things more annoying than to rent an Airbnb and find no dish detergent, salt and pepper, wine opener, kitchen towels, etc. You don't expect to have to buy these things, and at this apartment, all basic needs and more were provided. It was so convenient to have a washing machine & drying rack to keep up with laundry - it set us up well for the remainder of our vacation in Italy.
Bedrooms on two floors offered privacy, plus loft area was perfect extra space for morning yoga.
Above and beyond - left a laptop in the apartment on departure day; was contacted shortly thereafter by Viola - she secured it for me, and coordinated an easy pick up. Communication from beginning to end was exceptional, as was the apartment. Highly recommend!
