I've been traveling for most of this year and stayed several weeks at the Golden Tree. It was the best experience I've ever had with an Airbnb stay. Every review you've read about this place is true! So don't hesitate to book your stay. Rachele is an amazing, amazing host and she thinks of all the details. She was always available if I needed anything but I never needed anything because the apartment was fully equipped with everything I needed! My walk to the city was a scenic 15-20 min walk. This place is close enough to the city center but tucked away on a quiet residential street. It was perfect. There's also a gelato shop and a bakery/cafe a few steps away that saw my face every other day. :) I'll definitely be back to Florence (beautiful city!) and I'll definitely book this place when I do!
