This is an exceptional place to stay if you're looking for the perfect blend of style, comfort, and access to the city. Its location really makes you feel as though you're a resident of Florence, too. Truly special!
Lots of small touches - not the least of which is a vacuum, which really comes in handy when you're doing your cooking in the loft. Speaking of the kitchen, it is well equipped and simply wonderful. I shopped at the San Ambrogio market every morning for fresh produce. Fior di Capra to die for ... and that's just one of the items that we enjoyed. There's a flea market as well as shoes & clothes stalls in the immediate vicinity - which made for an interesting experience, as well.
Elena keeps a folder full of personal recommendations - so be sure to check that out if you stay at her place. And in case you missed it in the description, there's a hydromassage in the shower; it's bliss at the end of a long day of walking around.
Lots of restaurants and several convenience stores along Via Ghibellina AND a stationers where you can get paperwork printed off a memory stick (in case you need to print passenger locator forms on your way out of Florence, like we did).
I hope you get the opportunity to experience Elena's hospitality - she is the best Airbnb host I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with!
