Staying here really made our stay special. My friend and I felt taken care of from the start. Anna’s mother Doreen took us to the grocery store. We stayed for 40 days so we needed to know where to shop. She had great suggestions and was available whenever we needed something. We became bus experts - taking the bus into town and learning a few other bus routes. It was perfect for us because we weren’t trying to do all the tourist things in one week. We had friends stay with us and they all loved being there. Their dog Xara is so sweet. It really was my favorite Airbnb experience so far because of the hosts. If you don’t want to be in the middle of the bustling city, it’s a great option. It gave us a little taste of living in Florence! We wanted to experience life here more as locals instead of tourists - this place gave us that opportunity!
