This was my first AirBnB experience and it exceeded my expectations. The flat was very well stocked and the Paderis were very good in anticipating what travelers needed. It was so nice to come to a place after traveling for over 20 hours to find bread, milk, jam, butter, snacks and other supplies. Sergio was very helpful in doing things like booking taxis for us. Also, Agnese was super responsive in responding to queries.
In terms of location, although it's not directly in the city centre, it is close enough to walk. In a way, this is a good thing as it's far away from all the crowds and the tourists and has a more 'local' feel, but is still near enough to the Duomo etc.
I would recommend the Florens pizza restaurant because their pizza is good. However, they also had really good pasta and I found the service to be friendly and prompt, and the atmosphere casual and chilled.
