This is the first time my partner and I tried out airbnb and I am glad we did. Our host Giulia was easy going, pleasant and welcoming. She showed us around the apt, the kitchen, bathroom, living room and sleeping area. BTW, the place is clean and has sleeping sheets, blankets, pillows and towels. She also provided us with information of the neighborhood. Check-in was a breeze and non stressful. The apt is cozy and relaxing. We loved the stairs that leads up to the queen size mattress. Our 4yr old loved going up and down the stairs, drawing and using her tablet on the bed while also looking down from above and being silly. There is also a sofa bed if you have several people staying. It does get chilly on cold days, but you can turn on the heater which solves the problem. The location of this apartment is perfect. You have cafes and places to eat just a minute away when you exit the bldg. You also see the famous Dome looming ahead of you inviting you to come and see it as soon as you can. This apt is perfectly located near the Dome. Just walking distance from it. You also have the supermarket nearby as well as the pharmacy. If you are budget conscious, the supermarket is convenient if you prefer to buy and make your own meals for the duration of your stay. If you are in the mood to shop around for clothes, pulses, jewelry or souvenirs, again, its just walking distances away. The neighborhood is safe and busy during the day but not hectic. Our trip to Fiorenze was just perfect and a lot of it had to do with choosing this place. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is planning visiting Florence. You not only get to see the beautiful history of Florence, but you also get to feel like you are one of the locals by staying in this beautiful apt.
