Our stay in Florence was our first AirBNB and it was a wonderful experience. Riccardo was a great host. The entire check in process was very smooth. His recommendations for exploring Florence, as well the local restaurants that he suggested were perfect (Gelateria La Carria was amazing). The apartment is located at the heart of Florence and all key tourist spots are within a walking distance from the apartment. The area is very lively, yet you will be able to have a good night rest without any street noise.
If the apartment is available, we will certainly be staying here for our next visit.
