I highly recommend Barbara's Airbnb home. Her father picked us up from the Florence Airport and drove us to the apartment (about a 20 minutes ride). He then walked us into the 3rd story apartment flat. He showed us how to use the Air Conditioning and Washing Machine (these were 2 of the 4 search criteria we used for looking for a place in Florence). He also showed us the maps and restaurant discounts he had in place with local restaurants. He showed us the map of the city and helped us get oriented. Barbara had a bottle of wine, drinks, bread and snacks waiting for us. Two other search criteria we had, were to use a Super Host and being close to the main train station in Florence. Barbara's place covered all four (4) of our search criteria requirements. We chose Florence to be our "home base" while staying in Italy as we could get to most locations within a couple of hours on the trains: Rome, Milan, Como, Venice and Cinqueterre. I loved how close it was to the Firenze Santa Maria Novella train station (5 minute walk) and the Duomo (about a 15 minute walk) and the Central Marketplace (about a 15 minute walk). Overall Barbara's apartment was clean, well furnished and just as advertised on Airbnb. I was travelling from the USA and Barbara had a power plug converter that worked for charging our phones. The only thing to keep in mind is that it is on the 3rd floor without an elevator/lift. I recommend you consider her place for your next stay in Florence, Italy.
