Charming and quaint is right on. Claudia's apartment in Florence is the best air BnB apartment that my husband and I have ever stayed at. The apartment itself is located right beside Mercato Centrale (Central Market), about a 5-10 minute walk Northwest of the Duomo. We were able to walk to all the main attractions, and felt right in the thick of it.
The pictures on Air BnB don't do the apartment justice. With rustic,stylish features, the apartment was a picture of Florence living. We felt at ease, almost like we were at home. The bed was pretty comfortable and the room had a fan that kept it cool.
Claudia ensured the apartment was clean. She even gave us a complimentary bottle of chianti, along with pasta and pesto. Yum! The apartment also has a couple of A/C units and a fan in one of the bedrooms, making the stay comfortable on those hot days. There was also good WIFI.
Claudia was sweet and sensible. She checked in on us and responded to our messages promptly. We were greeted with a smile when we checked into the apartment.
Great apartment. Great owner. Great location. Five stars!
