This Florence apartment was incredible! I'll admit, I was both excited and a little worried about the location, being located so closed to the Santa Maria Novella cathedral and train station, but it couldn't have been more perfect. I was excited for its proximity to those things, but was worried about the potential street noise. I needn't have worried--you can't hear any street noise from the piazza while still getting the benefit of a great location within walking distance to all the great sights of Florence.
Chiara's father, Sergio, met us at the apartment for check-in and was a delight. He walked us through everything in the apartment including a very thoughtful and informative binder full of up-to-date information about nearby restaurants, groceries, all the key Florence attractions, and Covid testing sites (important for getting back into the U.S. at the end of our stay). Sergio was kind, helpful, and excited to share the apartment and Florence with us. Everything was so well explained and provided that we didn't need to ask for anything else during our stay, though I have no doubt Chiara and Sergio would've been more than helpful. The apartment was very clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed for the few meals we didn't eat out.

This is the third Airbnb I've stayed at in the Florence area and I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Can't wait to come back!
