This Airbnb was the most homelike of all of my stays so far. It has been completely renovated yet still retains the feeling of old Italy with exposed wood beams and new trompe-loeil that gave us the feel of looking out the window and seeing the Florence skyline. It was very fun.
There were TWO bathrooms, one for each bedroom.
There was a kitchen tucked into the corner with a nice gas stainless steel cook top,a sink, and a table and chairs. It was such a nice set up we had to cook in one of the nights just to try it out.
When you step out of the apartment and turn left a half block is the Academia with the David. If you turn right you are 2 small blocks from the Duomo which you can see from the front door.
There are pizzaria's, restaurants of all types, more gelato places than you can count,a grocery market, and all types of shopping so close we never needed to take a taxi or train. We walked across the Ponte Vecchio to Piazzale Michelangelo, about 1.5 miles to the top and so worth the view. We came back the next day to Boboli gardens about the same distance.
Giacomo left a map with instructions on the best place for gelato, shopping and how to get to Major spots from the Airbnb.
Every night we returned to our comfortable home that really felt like our own home.
Giacomo was always responsive anytime we needed to contact him. He left an adapter in case we needed one.
We washed clothes in the clothes washer and hung them out the window to dry.
It was a dream location with comfortable beds.
Very clean.
Have I said yet? Yes, it is nearly perfect. This will not disappoint.
