Our stay in Florence was wonderful, thanks in part to our fantastic AirB&B hosts, Claudio and Denis.
The apartment was perfect, newly refurbished, immaculate, everything we could possibly need and lots of space. It was also very quiet, as it's set back from the main street, which meant we slept soundly.
But ultimately as with all accommodation, it's about location, location and the apartment is around the corner from the wonderful Piazza Di San Spirito, a must if you want to experience the authentic Florence and eat some of the cities best food without paying tourist prices! And to get to the Duomo is about a 10-min walk.
Upon our arrival Claudio was out of town, but Denis greeted us and took time to write out recommendations on a map using his valuable local knowledge, he made us feel very welcome.
We did get to meet Claudio's mamma, who was very lovely and we had a good chat about Italy and England! :-)
We'll definitely be coming back to stay again!
