Lucilla was one of the best hosts we've met through Airbnb. She was there when we reached and gave us some very good suggestions on what to do in Florence, including tips on where to get good meals and good deals. She even left us a wonderful unexpected welcome surprise.
The apartment is small if you expect a regular multi-room house but more like a perfect hotel room. Just the one room studio with a bathroom and kitchen appliances and two windows overlooking the street. We loved it . Was very charming and looked much better than the photos of the posting. Everything looked newly renovated, the bathroom was spotless and everything looked in pristine condition.
The real game changer though was the AMAZING LOCATION. It's less than a 5 min walk to the Duomo and Academia, 10-12 mins to Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio and 2 mins away from bus stops that can take you further away like Piazzale Michelangelo. The neighborhood was vibrant in the evenings with lots of great pubs, cafes and restaurants that really added to a wonderful ambience. We loved the 100% organic restaurant Simbiosi just at the end of the street. Overall one of the best Airbnb experiences we've had and we were sorry to leave.
