The palazzo is truly a one of a kind Airbnb experience. A unique property that I would compare to one other truly unique and magical Airbnb experience I’ve had.
Our Florence Airbnb accommodation was cancelled on the morning of our trip and we were lucky enough to find the palazzo on the same day.
We arrived by car and met the host in the nearby square. They arranged a valet service who parked our car and delivered it back when we departed. The host also helped us arrange a taxi service to the airport on the morning of our departure. All communication was prompt, professional, and courteous. Remember we booked this apartment less than 12 hours before our arrival.
Arriving at the palazzo is like traveling back in time. The living room with the original frescos and the large terrace overlooking Santa Croce are the stars of this listing. But four bedrooms and three bathrooms make this an enormous listing in the heart of Florence! The bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms are all well appointed. We loved the tall ceilings too.
Unfortunately we had an issue with the hot water in two of he bathrooms. The host responded to our complaint within 30 minutes and their prompt response was appreciated. Since it was Saturday they couldn’t get the repairs done until Monday which was a pretty bad inconvenience with four of us sharing one shower. The repairs were made first thing Monday morning though. Things happen i understand and I appreciate the hosts commitment to fixing the problem.
Also the street outside is very lively and there are several late night bars very close by. One room is on the court yard side of the house but three rooms are street side. Our guests staying street side found it to be loud until 2-3 am and slept with ear plugs. There were no noise issues courtside.
On the flip side you couldn’t ask for a more centrally located apartment for exploring Florence.
Thanks Stefano for sharing your wonderful place and taking such good care of us while we were visiting. Florence
