This apartment Airbnb was wonderful!! Loved it! Fabulous! Would book it again. It’s just so lovely and modern with some old charm too and in my opinion in the best area. Much more authentic Florence than by the tourist attractions.
We loved the location being in oltrarno neighborhood and away from tourists but only 15 mins walk to most attractions like Uffizi and Accademie and the Mercato etc. Plus, up the hill is a gorgeous view of the city from Piazzale Michelangelo. Great little hike on paved road and beautiful walk back.
The place itself was perfect for my husband and I, my mother in law and our 12 year old daughter. Daughter took the small little room in back and mother in law the second bigger room in back and my husband and I the front room. Very comfortable! Great to have the elevator too!! We had to have it as my mother in law is 82! Plus we had luggage and would not have been fun going up all those stairs with suitcases. You could easily have two couples in here or a family of five. It sleeps more out in the living room as the sofas open up too.
The hosts were very responsive and wonderful. The only downside about this place is the noise downstairs— there is a restaurant below and open til 2:30 am but that didn’t bother us so much… it was nice to have the ambiance from below. So lively. The worst thing were the trash receptacles that are so loud with glass bottles being dumped late at night and the trash trucks early in the morning. I had AirPods with meditation music and so I was ok.
But… We loved this place soooo much!!! It had everything we needed!! Kitchen is modern and easy for breakfast, cooking a meal, plus microwave and fridge etc. The dishwasher had an issue and the host responded with someone right away. Really impressed!
We would definitely stay here again!!! Lots of adorable, authentic and delicious restaurants very very close by… steps away! Plus the best Gelato around the corner AND Conrad grocery store around the corner. Book it! You will love the experience. Just bring ear plugs if noise bothers you.
Thank you / Grazie Mille to our host Mamo!!!! :)
