All we can say is “WOW!”. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay! This was by far the best AirBnB we have stayed at – everything about it was near perfect. The apartment is situated in a very central part of town, and the hosts are very open about their recommendations about where the best places to visit are. This was so crucial during our stay because there are pizzerias and cafes everywhere and it’s overwhelming to understand what the “locals eat at and would recommend”.
This was one of the key things that made our stay so good – the detailed suggestions from the hosts as we arrived so we knew we weren’t going to be wasting time and money on the unnecessary tourist traps during our stay. The city’s main supermarket is right around the corner, along with one of the recommended pizzerias (open 24 hours!) so you won’t go hungry no matter what time you are arriving. The apartment is very well laid out, has all the essentials, and has been partly renovated….partly only because there are still hints of the older structure of the building that was originally there with the beautiful brick arches in doorways, parts of the floor, and so on. It was very authentic, but done in a very modern way – a lot of care and thought has obviously gone into creating this space. It’s always nice to stay in a space that reflects the city you are in, rather than just a plain room with a bed, so we enjoyed the actual feel of the place itself too.
Really appreciated the coffee and small snacks available in the kitchen too. Basically, the hosts truly understand the point of view of a guest that is visiting them, and totally provide everything to ensure the stay is comfortable. If you are visiting Florence, we wholeheartedly recommend Raffaella’s place – it’s warm, central, comes with amazing hosts. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay!
