Is this place open on the dates you'll be in Florence? Good — stop what you're doing right now and book it. I stayed in five different Airbnbs in Italy and Dani's soared above the rest for her hospitality, the amenities in the room, and the BEST VIEW OF YOUR LIFE!
I spent my mornings in this place making coffee in the espresso machine, munching on the snacks she had set out for me, and just soaking in the sounds and sights of the buzzing piazza below. You have a better view of the Duomo than when you're on the ground looking up. Seriously. I spent more time staring at it from my window because it was so much more magical.
Dani is a breath of fresh air as a host. She met me at the ground floor and carried my luggage up multiple flights of stairs, then spent time with me showing me around the room and telling me all her favorite places to go eat. Her recommendations made me feel like a local and led me to my favorite neighborhood in Florence: Osteria! I felt so welcomed by her, something I didn't experience at every Airbnb...even from Superhosts.
The bed — comfy as heck. I did not sleep on a better bed in Italy. You can see the lit up Duomo even from bed. She had a charger plugged in by the nightstand for me so I didn't even have to pull mine out!
The medicine cabinet — that thing is full of treasures. I happened to need an ice pack and she had one. I was getting tired of my travel shampoo and she had luxurious fancy shampoo and body wash. She had actually nice towels. Light sleeper? She's got earplugs. She even has a book to read while you're on the toilet. Girl thought of everything!!
OH and one of my favorite touches was a cold beer in the fridge. It was perfectly refreshing as I got settled after my walk from the train station :)
There is literally no reason for you to not have already booked this Airbnb. Go. Now.
