This place is one word - AWESOME. Awesome in so many ways that I cannot describe. We are Airbnb hosts ourselves in LA and Gherardo has done such an exceptional job. If you book this place, you will not want to leave, even though one of the most beautiful cities of the world is outside your door! We have been traveling for 2 weeks staying in various Airbnbs throughout Europe and Gherardo was the best one we stayed in. First off is the space. Beautiful, stylishly decorated, new and modern. The apt is more beautiful than the photos show it to be. There is an adorable patio. The unit is connected on the floor to another unit only that they share one hallway as I was a little confused about apt 1 and 2 when booking. They are separate complete units and both occupy an entire floor of the bldg. The apt is also HUGE. In comparison to the photos and what I expected the apt has a separate living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, closet area and washing machine area. Everything is brand new and sparkling clean. It was recently remodeled you can tell and done perfectly in terms of space. The patio overlooks an adorable courtyard to sit and have a glass of wine. The bed. All the beds we have been staying in Europe are too small or not comfy and this bed was the best bed we have stayed in. As my boyfriend said- maybe even better than our king size bed at home. Its was so comfy my boyfriend decided to skip out of Tuscany with our friends just to catch up on sleep as he hadn't been sleeping on all the other beds we have stayed in throughout Europe. Its pure luxury! You will have the best sleep on this bed. Finally Gherardo's hospitality. He met us and helped us with our bags to the walk up to the apt. He also provided us help with booking a car park for our car that we rented. Upon arriving there were nuts, a bowl of fruit, wine, bottled water and pasta for us. These beautiful hospitality touches make this worthy of being an Airbnb Plus home. Out of all the homes we have stayed in none had this. Everything was very well organized in terms of Gherardo showing us around the apt and how to use the air-conditioning, coffee machine, etc. He provided us with tips of how to get to sites and when we left helped us get a cab, as its harder to get a cab in Florence one would think. Even calling the Florence cab number is of no use since no one speaks English well. Overall this place is so wonderful that we hope to come back and book when we are back in Florence. It is about 5-10 min to Duomo and all the sites. Great location. Do not hesitate to book this apt. You will not regret it. We cannot...
