HOST:
Chiara, our host was very quick to accept our booking request and from that moment onwards the communication was very good, very fluid and welcoming. Planning the time to meet on the day was trouble free, flexible and well coordinated. Chiara was waiting for us outside the property at the specified meeting time. She was very friendly and spoke in both Italian and English, which suited us fine. She gave us the tour of the room and explained where to find various facilities etc. Perfect Host!
DESCRIPTION:
The property is located on the top floor, so there are a few flights of stairs to climb. With large luggage this might be a challenge for some. I would describe the property as a "Room" more than a "Flat", because it is one room with bathroom facilities (tight shower, toilet behind bathroom door, sink and bidet). The kitchen could be described as a galley kitchen in the entrance area (see photos). The room itself I would say is OK for a 1 or 2 night stay but any longer I think I would struggle. Cooking can be a challenge because the kitchen area is small, with very little space to rest things while cooking but it is manageable. The property would benefit from a few more kitchen utensils / facilities. Internet access via Wi-Fi was listed as a facility available to use, but the signal strength was not strong enough for us to be able to maintain a stable connection for any given period of time, some of our devices didn't see the signal(s) at all. After numerous attempts at searching for Wi-Fi we gave up on Internet. The property would benefit from a Wi-Fi extender / Booster on site. I would suggest this as something for Chiara to look into / investigate.
In the photos, the bedside tables are not present OR smaller than the ones actually in the property which gives the appearance of a bigger space around the bed. These images need to be updated to more accurately show the current décor.
NEIGHBOURHOOD:
We felt the neighbourhood was a safe place to walk around. We had no issues finding the property or the area in general. It is a short walk to the river and on to Ponte Vecchio. An ideal choice for a short break away. Would I book Chiara's place again - ABSOLUTELY!

The one thing I would take away from staying at Chiara's place, would have to be the peace and quiet we enjoyed. With the back window open, we could hear the sound of birds, not traffic, it was just what we needed. Chiara, thank you!
