Cristina and Marco were the perfect hosts for my nearly week long stay in Florence. The apartment itself is a short distance from the train station and because the city is so walkable, even in the heat of July/August, it was close to every place I wanted to explore. Cristina, a native of Florence, knows the city like the back of her hand. First day I arrived I received a map from her, we sat at her coffee table and talked about the city and all the places I had to check-out from restaurants to museums to piazzas where locals go to mingle at night. Invaluable information that I have been sharing with everyone I know as everyplace I visited made me fall in love with the city more and more. As this was my first AirBnB stay I was surprised by the generosity of my hosts and how welcome they made me feel in their home. It's not just a B&B, but a place where you almost feel like you're staying with family. I cannot recommend this place more! Looking forward to the day I return to Florence and when I do, I hope Cristina and Marco will still have a room for me.
