If you’d like the most magical, local experience for your stay in Firenze – book this flat! I’ve been using airbnb for years and always try to pick locations that (for me) feel like they’d offer the most genuine opportunity to experience the city and its culture. I want the place where I begin and end my day to feel like home, and that’s exactly what Karen & Raffaele’s flat felt like. If I were to live in Firenze, this is what home would feel like.
The flat is beautiful, clean, well-equipped, and full of unique details that will make your heart pitter-patter. And the patio!!! Oh, the patio! … it’s perfection. We had perfect weather while we were there and took advantage of it morning, day, and night. However, even if it had rained more or been on the chilly side I think we would have used it just as much (as it’s covered enough to protect you from the elements). I could go on and on about all the details but part of being there is discovering the character for yourself so I don’t want to spoil all the fun. :) But, I can assure you with 100% confidence, you will not be disappointed.
Karen is a gem! She’s excellent at communicating and goes above and beyond in making sure you have everything you need for your stay. One of the best perks was the personalized map of all her (and Raffaele’s) favorite local restaurants, gelaterias, markets, bars/clubs … all the things!!! We felt like we had a treasure map and never left home without it.
Thank you Karen for being so delightful and for giving us a place to call home for our stay in Firenze. We hope to meet Raffaele next time … and the newest addition to your family. ;)
Grazie Mille!
