The location is perfect for getting around Florence. And also just perfect. Even though it’s directly across the street from the train station, you can’t hear any noise at night. It’s super easy to find everything with this spot as a home base.
The hostess communicated regularly ahead of the visit and made certain all arrangements were in order and that I understood check-in procedures completely. I really appreciate knowing the details. One less thing to fret about.
When we had some last minute schedule adjustments, she made it simple and painless. She sent her adult daughter to meet us at the train station when we rolled in 3 hours before our scheduled check-in time.
What to see and where to eat is why we all do this, right? She initiated regular dialogue for a couple weeks with different ideas to consider. While we were there, she checked back daily to see how things were going. My point here is that she communicated and showed interest. I’m sure if I wasn’t into it she would’ve adjusted her approach. I wish I could say the same of other hosts.
The gorgeous, airy space was scrupulously clean when we arrived. The bathrooms were spacious with fluffy towels and full-sized cakes of artisanal lavender soap. The bedrooms were exactly what I was hoping for: high ceilings, tons of natural light, adequate storage, comfortable beds, lots of outlets, and useable pillows.
I went to Florence to eat my way from one end to the other, so we only used the big beautiful kitchen for coffee. Which was provided by the host. So, extra marks for that one. Also, there was a legit supermarket on the same block - so cooking would’ve been a breeze if that was of interest.
Stay here when you’re in Florence. I would again in a heartbeat.
