Monica and her son accommodated my early check in request. Her son welcomed us to their airbnb and gave my friend and I helpful instructions and restaurant suggestions around the neighborhood. The airbnb is so close to the main attractions and Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station (which was awesome cause my friends and I took a short trip to Pisa as well). We stayed only for one night in Florence and most of the day we were outside exploring. We wish we could have stayed longer. The apartment was beautiful - antique and vintage vibes. The apartment felt a little big or rather long for 3 people, but a cute place to stay if you are looking to be in close proximity to the cathedral. Best part - this apartment has two bathrooms!
