This was the first apartment I've ever rented on airbnb so I was skeptical to say the least. Upon arriving, it was EVERYTHING it looked to be in the pictures. It's airy and homey. If you open the windows, you can hear the bells chime every fifteen minutes. I thought the bed was comfortable and I have a Tempurpedic at home so I wasn't sure how I'd sleep but I slept like a rock every night; of course I was also exhausted after being on my feet all day.
You couldn't ASK for a better location in Florence! I tend to get lost when I travel but I knew that no matter how lost I got, I just had to get back to the Duomo and I'd be home. There is also a great little gelateria on the same street as the apartment. HUGE scoops of deliciousness for about three euros! TOTALLY worth it!
Azadeh and Alessandro were a dream to work with! There were extremely responsive on email. Upon arrival, Azadeh walked through the entire apartment and taught me how to use everything, including how to make Italian espresso! They were also super thoughtful and pointed out all the vegetarian restaurants in the area and showed me all the great places to go on the map. You couldn't ask for better hosts or a better location. Mila grazie!!!
