A good AirBnB host makes a great travel experience possible. A great AirBnB host becomes part of that experience. Michela was great and then some. She was always there to lend a helping hand, give advice, or help with laundry. On my first night in Florence, she dropped what she was doing to take me on an initial bike ride of the city to show me the lay of the land. Traveling alone, this was immensely valuable, and she then cooked me a delicious summer meal in her wonderful garden to finish out the day. Her flat is in a PERFECT location. It's a two minute walk to Piazza Dei Santo Spirito. 8 minutes of walking or less puts you over the Ponte Vevchio and in the heart of the tourist area. If I was going to live in Florence, I'd live in Michela's area. I would also be her friend, which is the best compliment I can give her.
