# Booking Airbnb in Siena: What to Know

Siena has strict rental rules and a smaller Airbnb market than Florence. Here is how to book well.

Key facts

Tourist tax: 2.50-5 euro per person per night, usually paid in cash on arrival.
ZTL: check if the apartment is inside the limited traffic zone. Driving in by mistake = fine.
Self check-in: increasingly common; verify with the host before arrival.
Quietness: top floors of medieval buildings have great views but no insulation. Ask.
Cleaning fees: standard 30-60 euro. Factor into total cost.

What I tell visitors

For stays under 3 nights, a small hotel often costs the same and includes breakfast + reception. Airbnb wins for longer stays or groups.
