The host is responsive and gave me wonderful suggestions for what to do around the city and neighborhood. I had a last minute change to my itinerary and they were able to accommodate me with ease, which I really appreciated.
As a solo female traveler I have never felt so safe. I felt safer walking home alone after dinner/bar in Florence than I do where I live! The street is quiet and residential, which is nice to unwind. And just down the street there is a lovely bar, restaurants, and the BEST gelato in Florence.
The apartment is a beautiful 15 minute walk over the river to the train station. And there is also a bus line a few blocks away that can take you directly there as well.
The place is clean, has a well equipped kitchen, and nice decor. I will note the apartment is 3 floors up so those who have mobility issues this one might not be for you. However, if you can manage to lug your bags up the stairs, it’s worth it!!
When I go to Florence in the future, I’ll be looking to stay in Yarden’s apartment again or in the same area.
