Particularly fond of its strategic location to the city’s hotspots, also the size of the place. Hands down, the best Airbnb we stayed in during our 2 weeks ish trip around EU. Would definitely be back someday! Thank you for such being a good host, Nadja and Breditz.
Host fantastico, posto bellissimo, posizione fantastica. Corrispondeva esattamente alla descrizione e alle foto. Nadja è stata così accogliente e accomodante, ha risposto rapidamente ed è stato così facile comunicare con lei. Ho apprezzato il fatto che la casa avesse un ingresso senza chiave, poiché eravamo in 6 ed era facile andare e venire. Sicuramente soggiornerò qui la prossima volta che sarò a Firenze.
L'alloggio era immacolato e proprio come descritto. Bret e Nadja sono stati molto reattivi e disponibili. L'appartamento si trovava in un'ottima posizione e molto percorribile a piedi. Consiglio vivamente questo soggiorno!
