This is was our 2nd ever Air B&B. We were coming from Milan to at first the house was overwhelming as you walk through a hallway into a door leading up to the house which falls in the backside of the compound but, give yourself a day and you’ll love your stay.
1. Location:
- Close to the duomo and further up to the Uffizi and Pont Vecchio to the left and a stone’s throw from Gallery Academia.
- Carrefour and local supper market just around the corner for all essentials. Apart from the ones very thoughtfully kept for us by Andrea and her daughter, Frencesca.
- Walkable distance from bike hire shops
- Walkable distance from the train station ( google says bus c1 goes to and fro so don’t rely on that or you’ll end up dragging your luggage both times)
This is perfect on location. You are where you’re meant to be in Florence for your trip.
2.Amenities:
- Adequately stocked kitchen with basic cooking ingredients and equipment.and
- Old but effective dishwasher.
- Pest repellent in case required.
- Towels and soap in bathroom.
- Good clean linen in rooms.
- Ac in rooms and living room. All effective ( make sure you don’t use all 3 heavy equipment together)
- WiFi is not too great. Doesn’t work well at times and network strength in the main room is weak.
3. Safety
With a lock to the main compound door, a secondary lock before the house entrance and then one more before you enter the house, I would say it’s very safe and in a safe part of the area around the duomo.
Hope you have a wonderful stay at Andrea’s house like we did.
