If you are looking for a great place to stay in Florence, look no further than Fiora's place. We stayed in five Airbnbs in Italy, and while most were excellent places with gracious and responsive hosts, Fiora stands out as the absolute best of the best. She is a wonderful person and you feel like you are a family member in her home. Greeted with a home made baked good, Fiora then proceeds to provide us with a list of restaurants, markets, important local numbers and services, and virtually everything you might need to know for your stay in Florence. And if she forgot anything, don't worry. Just contact her and she will give you a timely response. Beyond being a wonderful host, she is a truly special person. She lives in the same complex and is there right away if you need anything. With all of the fun design touches and decorator items you forget that this is an older building typical of a city like Florence. The place is so big you can get lost in it and the two full bathrooms are a plus when travelling. Fiora truly helped to make our stay in Florence memorable and she will always be viewed as one of the highlights of our two weeks in Italy. She took the time to say goodbye to us as we left (with another home made baked good in hand) and even made sure that our transportation (which she arranged) arrived on time since there was a marathon in Florence that day. In fact she was prepared to ride the bus with us to the train station if the taxi did not arrive. What else could you want? If you get the opportunity to stay with Fiora, we think you will agree with our assessment. She deserves ten stars although only five are available. Thank you Fiora.
