Ludovica, Giorgio’s daughter/cohost took care of our stay. The self check-in was very smooth. Our hosts were incredibly communicative, responsive, and precise. Ludovica maintained communication with me days leading up to our arrival and until the last moment of check-out. Ludovica even personally called a taxi for us when we needed to transport our baggage to the station. We felt well cared for and looked after.
The accommodation was charming and cozy. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed with a sweet note from Giorgio and a bottle of wine (that we are SO SAD we didn’t have a chance to try and unfortunately left behind while leaving in a hurry). The place is well-stocked with a fridge, microwave, stove, dishware, extra towels, extra toilet paper, little 10mL single-use shampoo packages, extra blankets, TV, wifi, and more amenities we might have missed. We instantly felt at home. It’s always a good sign when communication with the host is rather SPARSE upon arrival because they’re so good at anticipating all your needs and providing us with detailed instructions. Ludovica even checked in on us to make sure our first night went smoothly.
It was a bit warm when we visited Florence in early September and so it was pretty warm in the accommodation— but following Ludovica’s instructions, we got a nice fresh flow of air by opening all the windows (while avoiding mosquitos by turning on the handy mosquito machines).
Location wise, it is wonderful. It is located in a quieter, residential area. There are delightful, tasty local restaurants and lively cafes just a couple steps from the place. Additionally, it is far enough away to be away from all the hustle and bustle of the tourist-centric main areas of Florence but close enough to walk comfortably to get to everywhere you need.
Hope to be back one day :)
