My husband and I just got back from our two week honeymoon in Europe which kicked off in Florence. While we had never used Airbnb in the past, I can't imagine it gets better than the Santa Croce Suite. Alessandro and Nirman have created a lovely junior suite -- beautifully appointed and they thought of every detail to make you feel right at home, including a delicious bottle of Chianti to welcome you (we made sure to drink that right away)!

The bed was super comfortable and the entire space was very clean. The area is ideal - right down the street from Basilica Santa Croce and within walking distance to anything you would want to see in Florence. While it can get busy (but not noisy) during the day outside, it was nice and quiet at night.

Our hosts also provided us with any information we would need about the suite upon arrival and answered all my questions leading up to the trip about where to go, what to eat (we still need to try Perseus) and what to see - wonderful hosts. I would absolutely recommend staying here and if I am ever lucky enough to visit Florence again, I will be booking this suite!

Side note: A hotel we booked in the countryside for the second leg of the trip was not at all what we expected (i.e. - not on a beautiful vineyard property as advertised). We were stuck trying to book a new place on the day we were supposed to check in and reached out to Alessandro, desperate for any recommendations. While we did not end up staying at his recommended location, it was so nice to know we could reach out and he would reply. Thanks again!!
