This apartment is the best one I have ever found on Airbnb. It is everything they say and much more. The bedlinen are fabulous and the bed comfortable. You have a full bedroom with door and there is a pull out couch which is a double or queen. My family was surprised that it has a regular sized mattress and is really comfy. There is a full garden courtyard with pretty plants, singing birds and a table for outdoor eating & it’s nice leaving the doors open. The complex is very impressive and safe with big gates at the street, then walkways that have nice plantings and the apartment is on the first floor right after the second door. A very nice guy called Luciano takes you in and shows you how everything works--an expresser coffee machine, dishwasher, etc. He is available to answer questions and was very helpful to me. It has one long big living room with kitchen at one end, good internet, and a big TV, cabinets for storage, everything to cook at home, and a half refrigerator that holds enough.The internet is fine. The laundry downstairs is easy to use (bring coins). The bathroom has an incredible shower and bidet and everything is modern and new. A housecleaner named Melodie comes every week and cleans extremely well which is so nice. The apartment is immaculate. She is extremely sweet and fast and she even took care of my dog. She is a big asset as you have someone who can help you if needed. You have neighbors on either side but no noise and there are many shrubs and trees so it pretty much feels secluded. It has a resort feel in the back. You can't believe you are in the heart of Florence just outside the gates. The location is close to the train station and short walks to Duomo, etc. The street Via Faenza has amazing restaurants, markets, etc. so you are right in the middle of the central market and the street markets one block around the corner. It seems to be a high end neighborhood so close to the Duomo.
I enjoyed the apartment more than I can explain! I stayed over a month and will come back.
