Where to begin... Francesca and Andrea were outstanding hosts. They helped us in every aspect of our stay, from navigating the uncertainty of our plans to personally delivering a baby bath for our 5-month-old son.
The home is in a lovely neighborhood, about 30 mins walk from the main center (Ponte Vecchio, etc) There are lots of great restaurants, shops, and supermarket within a couple of minutes from the apartment itself. It is beautifully decorated, extremely clean, and well maintained. All the amenities we could possibly need were provided for us. Despite being in a bustling residential neighborhood, the apartment was very quiet and peaceful.
Our stay was in December but there is a fabulous terrace with an outdoor dining area which must be wonderful in the summer months.
If you plan to drive, parking can be a slight challenge as it is expensive about (€15/day) but this is average for Florence. One option could be parking further out and bussing/walking to the apartment but that wasn't an option for us with a small baby.
I can only say good things about our stay, we've had many AirBnB experiences all over the world and this has to be the best so far!
