Florence is an amazing city and we had a stupendous time there. Florence hotels can be very expensive so we decided to use airbnb and found a great apartment right in the middle of the city that was very reasonably priced. The owner Monica was so sweet, professional and gave us great tips and insights for enjoying the city. We had a superb location in the heart of Florence that was within walking distance of everything. It was commodious and super clean with a big comfortable bed. There also was solid wifi, a big shower, great sheets, a washing machine and large closet space. It was just the two of us but this place could hold five pretty comfortably with its three beds.

When you open the windows in the dining area you are only a story above the thousands of tourists parading throughout the city. It was fun to just people watch and laugh at some of the funny random conversations from the tourists locals and down below. Even though it is located on a very busy street the bedroom in the back was quiet. There was also a big book on Florence that educated us on the city, famous venues and restaurants. It was a sheer pleasure to stay there and we will definitely come back to stay here again next time we are in Florence.
