This was an absolutely amazing AirBnB. Unbeatable location, minutes or less walking to all the major sights of Florence and a great balcony to sit and sip wine and watch the sunset over the Arno or enjoy the view half a block from the Ponte Vecchio.
This apartment is huge. Large living and family area with multiple couches, dining area, full kitchen, two large bedrooms - one with a master suite bathroom and the other it’s own bathroom. We stayed here with our one year old and cooked breakfast for her in the kitchen everyday.
The hosts were very quick to respond to inquiries and helped set up a really great private cooking class that was one of the more enjoyable days of our entire trip.
Other reviews complained about it being outdated - I disagree. This is not brand new and sterile like a hotel in the suberbs but if you expected that when you booked an Airbnb in the heart of historic Florence then that’s on you. Everything works just fine, is comfortable, clean, nothing is falling apart or needs to be replaced, but yes it’s an older building and it has been lived in. Not sure what the complaints about the electricity were - we ran the AC in all the common spaces and bedrooms at the same time without issue for our entire stay except when we did laundry - we turned off one or two of them as we were asked to and never had a problem. Another complaint was about the TV not working, maybe it doesn’t I don’t know I didn’t try because there was a balcony I could sit on and enjoy Florence - much better than whatever is on TV. There is a small elevator big enough for a couple large suitcases or yourself and your 1 year old in their stroller, otherwise you’re only walking up two flights of stairs.
I would not hesitate to book this place again, a truly wonderful place to stay in an unbeatable location.
