Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
it was like coming home, and more. it was a last minute booking and at about 8pm. yet rita was there within minutes to welcome us. it was all clean and comfy and stylish yet, homey and huge windows to bring in the morning light yet enough lights to keep it bright and cosy at night.
the location is fantastic, everything is walking distance and i mean literally, just walking. trust me when i say that cause i totally hate walking especially in the heat. but although it was so well located, yet it was so quiet.
they have thought of everything in this apartment and the best part is Rita...she really is the best host i have ever met. so nice and hospitable and concerned and caring.
I'm not a hugging person, especially not with my Airbnb hosts. But with Rita, we were genuinely sad to leave her home and her and had to hug her when she came to see us off, even though it was quite early in the morning.
She responds super fast. she even gives you a quick overview of Florence and what to do, a map and guide on how to get around, has a list of restaurants to try. Besides all the other basic things you'd expect in your own home, including a washing machine, it has 2 huge ACs, and some basic cooking stuff.
i could go on and on, but in a nutshell, Florence was a joy made much better by this home and Rita. i so wanna go back to Florence and stay with her again.
fyi, this home can fit 4 comfortably, if you don't mind sleeping on the couch which is a sofa bed.
