We selected this AirBnB over others that we thought might’ve met our needs better because of the reviews about Julia the host. BOY ARE WE GLAD WE DID!!! The building was built in the 1300s and has really interesting historical significance and Julia has taken great care to offer modern amenities while tucking them away to keep the apartment looking as historically charming as possible. She left us a thoughtful bottle of Prosecco that we were able to enjoy on the AMAZING terrace with views of the cupola of the Duomo and the Tower at the town hall. Her pod-based espresso machine was perfect for getting started (and enjoying the terrace again) as were the granola and croissants she left for us! She arranged a day trip for us in Tuscany and when the person had to cancel due to family issues, she stepped in as our guide and showed us around Tuscany! We were kinda tuckered out from too many museums and too much info, so enjoying Julia’s company with some history of the area, but not too much was PERFECT for us. She took us to the GREATEST little lunch spot in Monteriggioni that she’d been years before and it was the best lunch of our trip!! We slept on the pull out couch in the living room and it was one of the most comfortable and large beds we slept on! Did not feel like a pull out couch!! Julia is amazing!! Her apartment is amazing! So close to everything! Super cool neighborhood! We often ate within a 4-7 min walk.
