We stayed in the AirBnB as a group of eight; and we had a wonderful stay. One of our favorite AirBnB’s during our stay in Europe.
The unit itself was beautiful – each room had its own unique, antique design. We made it a point to take photos of each room. The space was more than enough for the eight of us. Beds were comfortable, toilets were clean, and we were provided with towels and toilet paper.
The AirBnB was in a very central location to most of the sights in Florence. Everything--not exaggerating--was about a 15-minute walk at a maximum to most of the main areas, stores and restaurants.
We were in contact with Carla before checking in and she was very easy to coordinate with. Even when we had to book one day earlier than we originally planned, that was sorted out quickly. Cecilia met us during check-in and gave us a comprehensive brief on house basics, nearest popular attractions, great restaurant recommendations and how to get there. She also offered to call a cab to the station upon our departure. She was also very organized and provided receipts for the additional city tax required by law when renting places in Italy.
Wi-fi was fast and convenient; but could not reach one of the bedrooms. Connection also dropped at least twice during our stay.
One of the shower areas took quite long for the water to heat and it also flooded when used. Cecilia had warned us about this upon check-in, we just didn't realize that when she said flood, she really meant flood. They provide just for the floor when it floods but the water still takes a while to drain.
Last, not exactly a disadvantage of the AirBnB, but we would like to note that if one would walk to the AirBnB with their luggages – the cobblestone road would make it tricky.
Overall, a great stay at the heart of Florence with the Duomo, Uffizi, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio and other places within easy reach. The house is also quite lovely and very fitting for a charming city like Florence.
