This listing is 5-star all the way! It was the one we were looking forward to the most and it did not disappoint. It is just like the pictures - stylish, luxurious and it feels like home. It has so much character due to Daniele's wonderful style and we were in love with his place.
We stayed there for a week and loved every moment.
It is within walking distance to all the important sights and the supermarket is just across the street. It is really convenient.
Our daughter celebrated her 15th birthday there and Daniele even provided a lighter so that we could light the candles on her cake. This was such a well equipped apartment - from fluffy white towels to some groceries and toiletries (which we didn't use because we had our own), but it is the thought that counts!
There were two problems which wasn't Daniele's fault - once with the wifi and once the electricity. Daniele attended to this so quickly that we were stunned.
He is an extremely kind and friendly man and was the only host on our entire trip which checked us in and out himself. We really liked this personal service and he came across as very proud of his apartment. Which he should be! We felt honoured to stay there.
Seeing one of the most famous artworks by Botticelli in the Uffizi Gallery and then sleeping beneath a huge replica of it, was a wonderful treat! Likewise the kids aged 15 and 9 loved sleeping beneath the Mona Lisa on the very comfortable sleeper couch.
Yes it is noisy outside especially on a Friday and Saturday evening, but this did not put us off at all - even though we are used to complete silence at our real home.
Both the living room and bedroom have airconditioning - yet another plus for this listing.
It is spacious with lots of storage. The unit was also very clean - which is important to us.
We have so many wonderful memories of Daniele and his apartment. When we left - he felt like a friend due to the fact that he communicated with us so well and promptly. He was the host that was the easiest to reach and he even provides his guests with maps of different cities if they consider day trips.
If you are considering to book this listing, do so now before it is too late! Jewels like these are hard to find.
Thank you Daniele for a wonderful stay - it was everything we hoped for and more. We hope we'll see you again in the future.
