The apartment was gorgeous; a tasteful mix of periods and textures. It was lovelier than the photos. Of all the Airbnb apartments I have stayed in, this one felt most like a hotel. It was like Christine and Lorenzo thought about everything you might need for a short stay: magnifying mirror to apply makeup, blender for a power shake, crisp white sheets, coordinating crockery, you name it. The kids fell absolutely in love with the alcove bedroom and would retreat there at the end of the day (the the help, of course, of the 27 Mbps wifi). You can't get any more central than this location—we were a couple of minutes away from all of Florence's historic sights and restaurants. Because of this, it did get noisy at night, but it didn't bother us at all. The next-door artisanal gelateria, Perché No, which serves the creamiest gelatos, more than made up for it. Oh and the Global Blue VAT refund office, which is five steps away.
