This apartment was our favorite Air bnb place during our trip to Italy. It was the perfect balance of charming and unique as well as comfortable and accomodating. The host has great taste and the furniture and feel of the apartment felt very much like Tuscan Italy to us. There were lovely touches like chocolates on our pillows and classical music playing when we came in because as our host explained, "It is relaxing." There was a nice stack of classical and jazz CDs next to a good CD player. The apartment is up several flights of stairs which could be a work out to some. I am a healthy 62 and it was okay for me even carrying a big bag. The air conditioning worked well and there were ceiling fans. The beds were the best of all our rentals. One was a pull out couch which was very comfortable and it was pulled out and beautifully made up when we got there. Both the bathroom and kitchen are small but both were clean and perfectly functional. We unfortunately only stayed a quick overnight in Florence so we did not use the kitchen much at all. There is a good washing machine just outside the apartment which we also did not use. The neighborhood was really charming!! A small plaza is just downstairs with 3 little restaurants right there. I wish we had eaten at one of them as the food looked great and the plaza was full of happy people when we came home that night. There is a FABULOUS gelatto shop right there also. The views from the apartment windows are charming--all tile roofs and small gardens and blue sky. The woman who met us was really nice. She did not speak much English but both she and my daughter speak Spanish so they were able to communicate well about how everything in the apartment worked. I would love to come back here and stay for a bit.
