Host, Piero, met us at the apartment and, before handing over the keys, quickly ran over all we needed to know about the flat and the neighbourhood.
We had a wonderful stay, travelling around Firenze and the area quite a lot, and we really enjoyed being based here.
The apartment is further from the Old Town than we had expected but public transport was easy. We also found a couple of local restaurants that we very much enjoyed. The noise of traffic on the main road at the front of the apartment detracted from the superb view from the main terrace, but we did sit there quite a lot. The bedrooms were thankfully at the back.
We also had fantastic weather and were very grateful for the efficient aircon!
All in all, a great experience (our first with Airbnb) and a welcome opportunity to live briefly as a local (who were all extremely friendly).
