As artists, we chose this airbnb because it looked like an artist lived there. I mean, after all, you're in Florence walking the same steps as Michelangelo, right? Well, we were right. Marco, our host IS AN artist and an excellent host. He demonstrated the nuances of the apartment, immediately making us feel welcome. Next, he took out a map so we would have a better understanding where all the great works of art and "must see" places are located.
Now when it comes to location... it can't be beat. You're less than 10 walking minutes from the train station, 10 minutes from the David at Accademia Gallery Museum, 1 minute from the Medici Chapels and Church of San Lorenzo which house 5 of Michelangelo's marble sculptures, 8 walking minutes from the Duomo di Firenze and about 10 walking minutes from the Uffizi Gallery. The only thing that can slow down your pace to any of these incredible sites to visit is to stop for gelato.
