The experience of my stay with Antonella far exceeded anything I could've asked for or expected from an Airbnb host. This was my first time in Florence, and using Airbnb, and she has set the standard very high for all others! I'm not sure if everyone will be as lucky as I was to have also met her son, Lapo, who gave me great advice on where to visit and the best gelato to eat, but they were incredibley accommodating and made me feel right at home. Traveling by yourself can be a scary or daunting task, but they made me feel so welcome and very safe. Between sunbathing on the terrace, waking to the smell of her delicious cooking (which I so wish I could've tried), and the convenient location to shops and restaurants, I would recommend Antonella's to anyone traveling to Florence and hopefully I will be able to return very very soon. I walked from her home to all of the major points in the city with ease and found it very central to all that one could need while traveling (a supermarket and laundry mat were just across the street). This is absolutely a highlight of my trip and I will share great stories from my stay here :) a very kind family indeed.
Also, if you love cats like I do, nothing will make you happier than staying here. You must!!!!
