Staying at Gabriele's place was one of the most enjoyable Airbnb experiences I have had. If you are looking for a comfortable place in Florence with a great host, this is it.
Location: The apartment is located about 15 minutes (walking) away from the main part of Florence and about 20 minutes (walking) from the train station. It's in a very peaceful neighborhood on a hill that gives you a great view of the city below.
Host: Gabriele is the kindest Airbnb host I have had. He made me feel very welcome in his place and was a pleasure to talk with. He also got out a map and gave me several local recommendations so that I could make the most of my time there.
Apartment: The apartment was very clean and the pictures are all accurate. It felt very authentic and had a lot of personal touches. Gabriele also kept a garden on his back patio which was great.
I would fully recommend staying at Gabriele's place if you are coming to Florence. I know I'll be staying here if I make it back to Florence.
