I can’t recommend highly enough Julia as a host and this unique space as an Airbnb. You can expect Julia to go above and beyond in every way to ensure that your stay is as good as it can be- both in the apartment and in the city of Firenze. She gave us a warm welcome and a thorough in-person orientation to the apartment. We felt very comfortable here as a result! Julia is a passionate Florentine and also an expert in the history and culture of this area. She shared with us the history of the space and gave us suggestions throughout our 5-night stay depending on our itinerary each day. From specific exhibits that could be easily missed at places like the Ufitzi Gallery for example, to specific dish recommendations when dining in both the neighborhood and further into the city where are explorations brought us. I was very interested in her guidance and followed much of it. My daughter and I had an extraordinary experience as a result. The apartment is incredibly charming with attention to every detail. The terrace is a magical retreat. The location is conveniently close to the train and only a 10 minute walk to the Duomo. If I am lucky enough to return to Firenze, this is where I will stay!
