Pros:
-incredibly well located in the calm, stylish and fun area of Florence. Only a 15 min walk to the city centre/station and a 20-30 mins walk from all the main attractions.
-Very clean and organised.
- Plenty of little thoughtful touches, Tiziana‘ s home made olive oil is amazing.
-Great hospitality from Alessandra, her co-host, who answered every question when we arrived. Plus she provided us with maps and leaflets of key attractions/food in Florence with a great explanation of what to do, when and how!
- ‘Conad’ super market only 6 mins walk from the place.
- Beds were all consistently soft and bouncy, no odd hard bed.
- Kitchen was fully equipped with a lovely skylight.
- Double locking doors, felt very safe.
- Aircon in every room.
- Shampoo and shower gel was provided.
-Plenty of space for 5 people, including storage and desks etc.
Cons (trying hard to find some):
-Might not be the best place for anyone with mobility issues, as it required going up around 3/4 floors of stairs, although the apartment is very much worth the hike, and as Alessandra mentioned “it gets easier with time!”.
-Careful with the wooden beam in the twin bedroom, as a large, big headed giant, I managed to smack my head on that a couple times, more my doing than an actual con.
-Lastly, there is a bar/restaurant downstairs, so expect some loud chatter and bustling till around 11:30 PM/00:00 AM. My mum is a very light sleeper and she wasn’t affected by it!
Summary: I have stayed at many many Airbnb’s all around the world over the last few years and this place ticks all the boxes for me, definitely the best I’ve ever stayed in. It was an amazing facilitator for great memories with my family and I will definitely book here again one day.
Thanks!
