Anna was so nice to us. Her communication was wonderful throughout. Since we had never done Airbnb before, it made us feel so much more comfortable.

The rooms in this flat are wonderfully spacious and my daughter loved the blue refrigerator! It was so nice to have the biscotti that I could eat with my coffee each morning and my kids needed them for a snack when we arrived the first night.

The place is IMMACULATE--I mean clean, clean, clean. The bathrooms are modern and we used the washing machine the first day. Clothes dried easily on the drying rack Anna provided.

It is in such a cool building and we felt like we were living in a medieval manor. The stairs didn't bother us at all. As other reviewers have said, the flat is decorated so nicely! There isn't a balcony or outdoor area, but the kitchen is sunny and the living room gives you a place to just "hang out" and relax. She even has a small office with a desk and a table if you want to get away from others.

My daughter and I love the street merchants and the apartment is only a 5 minute walk. It's an easy walk to the Ponte Vecchio (we had dinner at some random place on a side street/alley we found on Yelp while walking near the bridge and it was great!)

The only problem for us was that it was 96-103 degrees and humid while we were there in August. We so appreciated having an air-conditioned place to shower 2-3 times a day. Anna's place has an air conditioning unit in the bedroom and one in the main area below the loft master bedroom. The ceiling fans in the living room kept the air circulating.

We loved our stay at Home From Home and would recommend to anyone. Lots of space and tastefully done...and Anna is a charm!

Of the 3 places we stayed in Italy on this trip, Rafaella's was family-voted as our top choice. I would highly recommend it.
