This was my BEST air bnb experience & apartment to date. Firstly, Vieri & Benedetta are so kind and lovely and they went out of their way to help me when I needed it. Making my stay seamless and wonderful. Vieri waited for me to arrive on the street when I came after midnight, and I was running very late. I really appreciated this, as I was traveling alone and I had never been to Florence before. (He also carried my suitcase for me! Which was so kind!thank you!!) Both Vieri and Benedetta were excellent and quick to communicate with me and made so many great recommendations for Florence and for the rest of my time in Italy. This was one of my favorite air bnbs because of how lovely and warm hearted the hosts were! Apartment: I love this apartment! I wish I could live there! I was so sad to leave. The decor is so perfect and fresh, they obviously have great taste and have thoughtfully decorated the apartment. It's extremely clean, bright and minimal. It's a great layout with enough space, to chill out at the apartment comfortably. The bathroom and kitchen are modern, perfect and well equipped for a long stay. (awesome waterfall fancy shower) I loved having a little kitchen to cook with all the beautiful local produce. There are many daily markets and also a local supermarket close by. The bed was super comfortable, all the sheets and towels were brand new and the products in the bathroom smelled divine. Brand new, Super cold air conditioner! Which is so amazing to have and essential in Florence during the summer. One of my favorite things about the apartment is the light, the stunning view of a garden & beautiful church from the window in the lounge area - just mesmerizing at sunset. Such a serene and peaceful apartment, no street noise just beautiful church bells during the day. I highly recommend staying as long as possible! To note, There are stairs. But I honestly didn't care. It's worth it for the view and the light. Neighborhood: Super convenient and central. This is seriously the best neighborhood and best street in Florence. There is no way I would stay in any other part of Florence where it is over run with tourists. There are excellent bars, restaurants and artisan boutique/workshops and vintage stores close by and on the street. Definitely the coolest neighborhood! It's the best feeling being able to walk out of the apartment and be in the midst of a great neighborhood. To get to the other side of the river it's a super easy quick walk over the bridge- maybe 15 mins to the duomo area. Florence is extremely walkable and easy to navigate. I loved going to the #Raw cafe around the corner and there is a cool bar on the street called cafe notte. I also loved Brac restaurant across the bridge. The apartment is super close to Palazzo pitti and...
