Location, location, location. Anna’s house is a realtor’s dream location. It is literally less than 5 minutes walk from SMN station and close to restaurants, market, museums and attractions. The loft is located in a secure building that is almost like Fort Knox, very safe.
While some of the furniture and fixtures are dated, the house is clean and the kitchen equipped well enough for you to cook your meals if you plan not to eat in restaurants nearby.
The rooms and living room have air-conditioning if it gets too warm but the house have huge windows you can open to let fresh air in. The house is located on the 4th floor so you will always get a cool breeze if you open the windows.
Anna also has tons of information on what to do and where to go in Florence and helped us a lot in deciding where to go. Anna also had her husband meet us at the train station so it took away the stress of looking where the house is. Plus there was wine and bread waiting for us when we checked-in. Favoloso! Anna, indeed, is a superhost!
One last note. McDonald’s is a few steps from the loft. Now, McDonald’s in Italy is way, way cooler than McDonalds in North America. So if you’re craving for a cappuccino and tiramisu at 2am, don’t fret. McDonalds is open 24 hours and only a few feet away.
