All in all, we had a fantastic stay at Tornabuoni Boutique.
- the location can't be beat -- it's a quick 5 minute walk to the Duomo.
- the room was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped for our needs.
A few issues:
- I would have appreciated better communication regarding our check-in. I've used Airbnb many, many times, and have always had a note from my host that includes detailed instructions prior to check-in. I felt quite frazzled upon arriving in Florence (we had been travelling for upwards of 10 hours, my phone wasn't working, and as a result, I received word that check-in closed at 7pm quite late) though it worked out in the end
- There's a common area space directly outside all of the bedrooms. A couple opted to sit in said common area until midnight one night, talking and laughing quite loudly. This was completely outside of the host's control, but I was quite irritated and couldn't sleep our entire first night.
Otherwise, a wonderful stay + friendly host!
