If you're heading to Florence, then you must stay here!
Right from the moment we booked with Luciano and Tammara, the communication was prompt, super friendly and with very clear English.
I wanted to extend my stay by a day, which was not a problem with Luciano and Tammara, however I was had a little difficulty with the technology from my end and making the payment for the additional night. Luciano was brilliant. He was on to it immediately and contacted support for me - we go it sorted very quickly and this filled me with a great deal of confidence.
The apartment was very close to the main train terminal in Florence, around 10 minutes and 16 euro in a taxi. Upon arrival we were greeted by Luciano's gorgeous sister and she showed us around the apartment. The apartment was perfect! every thing was as it was in the photo's. What it didn't capture were the small things, like the beautiful lighting and the lovely aroma of scented oils.
Location wise, it was perfect! Far enough away from the main tourist sights that you could experience an authentic Florentine experience yet close enough to walk anywhere you needed. The local piazza was an amazing location to sit for a few hours and sip on a Spritz while you watched the world pass you by. The neighborhood was perfect and we always felt safe, even on our own.
Luciano was fantastic with his local recommendations and one of the dinner spots he recommended served us our favorite meal of the trip - Osteria Santo Spirito...you must order the Gnocchi!
If i could rate our experience higher than a 10/10 i would.
Luciano and Tammara went above and beyond from start to finish and ever moment in between. I'm so grateful to have been able to stay in such a wonderful Airbnb, which totally enriched our experience in Florence.
We will be back and when we are, we will stay in the beautiful apartment of Luciano and Tammara!
