Best airbnb property ever for us.
The host was kind enough to arrange a "meet & greet" service for us upon our request due to luggage & kids in-tow. Host is very responsive and within minutes of messaging. Check-in went smoothly and everything was explained clearly and we were provided a booklet with all the details. The historic Donati nobility place is vast, clean, and full of light. Window shutters are usable if you need to darken the place to wake up late. Advertised amenities and supplies are ample and all there for our use. Everything worked fine: AC, WIFI, kitchen equipments, washer, keys, etc.
Location is supreme, Dante's house is across the courtyad, and his beloved Beatrice's parent's palace is just across the street. The young DaVinci lived at a nearby palace and Galileo's residence (now his museum) is a walking distance by the river. All major sights are within 5-10 minutes walking distance including Basilica of SMN and the train station. Best food nearby, best schiacciata, pizza, tripes, gelato, supermarkts, etc. In fact there is a wonderful trattoria in the Donati courtyard downstairs where we had many memorable meals - their bone marrow ossobuco is scruptious. Noise can be an issue but this is to be expected due to its prime location in the historic center. Use the shutters doubled with window pane for quite mornings.
My family now prefers Florence due to this Donati property. This place is highly recommended. Thank you for everything, we would be back for sure.
