Our stay at Silver Novella Luxury Apartment was absolutely incredible! Our stay in Florence began with Luca meeting us at the train station to bring us to the apartment. We were so grateful that he was available to show us the way and even helped with our bags. The apartment was less than a 10-minute walk away and Luca pointed out the local attractions along the way. Upon making it to the apartment, we were blown away!!! The pictures truly do not do it justice. The apartment is spacious, light, clean, and smelled like a dream! I’ve stayed in many AirBnbs in my day and I’ve never stayed in a space that had such impeccable attention to detail. The bathroom is stocked with toiletries labeled with ‘Silver Novella Luxury Apartment’ and the apartment was stocked with anything you’d need during your stay. It was as if you had the amenities of a hotel but with the comfort of an Airbnb. Luca was able to provide us with several restaurant suggestions in the area to ensure we had the best experience. As I mentioned earlier, the location was unbeatable! It’s close to the train station, right by the Oltrarno, and a short walk to the Duomo. Every restaurant/attraction on our itinerary was less than a 10 min walk away.
The icing on the cake for me was Luca’s excellent hosting. Unfortunately, during the latter part of our trip, I came down with a stomach bug and sprained my ankle. Instead of being scared and helpless, Luca equipped us to deal with the situation like locals. He had a trusty book of information/FAQs including English speaking doctors and information for local taxi companies. This was a lifesaver, we were able to get to a doctor with ease! Luca was an excellent communicator and checked in with us every day to ensure we were having the best stay possible. If we’re ever back in Florence I would be honored to stay at Silver Novella Luxury Apartment again!
