What an incredible oasis in Florence! We were so glad we booked this apartment for our quick weekend in the city. We have stayed in several AirBnBs in Florence before, but this one was by far the best! The location in the Oltrarno/San Frediano neighborhood allows you to really feel like a local, away from the major tourist zones, yet surrounded by so many wonderful restaurants, bars, and bakeries. You're still a short walk from the train station and major sites so getting to and from the apartment is easy.
The apartment itself is lovely and serene. The pictures really don't do it justice! The views from the windows are breathtaking in every light. The design and features are high-end making this feel like a little luxury hotel suite. And it's SO quiet. Maybe it's because we're from Brooklyn or maybe it's because we were traveling for the first time without our toddler, but we slept so wonderfully and we couldn't hear any street noise, just the lovely sounds of church bells. We were just two people, but the layout would be really great for two or three couples (or a family with older kids) as the bedrooms are privately spaced and one has an on-suite bathroom.
We didn't end up using the kitchen (except the espresso machine) but it was nicely stocked and would make a great home base if you plan to stay longer and make some meals.
The interaction with the host was easy, and the apartment had fresh flowers, wine and water in the fridge.
Book this place! You won't regret it.
