Silvia was a wonderful hostess and her apartment in Florence was fantastic! The location was great and we walked to all of our museums, shopping and restaurants, easily and with joy. The area is very safe and fun, yet quiet for assuring a great rest in the very comfortable beds after a long day of exciting explorations in beautiful Florence! Silvia was always available to answer questions, and left an amazing guidebook with excellent recommendations for restaurants and clear instructions for everything one might need, from how to operate the apartment appliances to how to take public transit, and much more, all with photo references. Silvia is an amazing hostess; I have enjoyed many Airbnb stays during different travels, but staying at her Florence apartment is now my top ranked experience ever! I highly recommend Silvia’s lovely ‘home away from home’ for anyone planning a trip to Florence. Thank you Silvia!!!
