The location of this AirBNB makes it a fabulous value, you literally walk 30 steps to see the Uffizi and Neptune’s fountain, fake David. We asked for two sets of keys and Silvia was kind enough to oblige, allowing our late riser to catch up with us and have more autonomy. The elevator made the bags easy, and the building and area felt very safe, a tiny quiet courtyard just steps away from the tourist crowds. Florence has the best leather prices we found after Venice, so go buy all the things!
The washer has a little smell, so run a load with bleach before you do your things, and the kitchen tap squeals, so use the bathroom sink after your friends are asleep. Silvia left us cookies and coffee pods but we couldn’t make the coffee maker do anything but put water all over the top of Smeg (the fridge) so just use the moka pot on the burner. It works great! Bring your earplugs because the great location means you also have street noise, but it’s worth it. The AC works well, and we needed it!
