Filippo is a most welcoming and generous host who did everything within his power to make us feel at home. It was a pleasant surprise to find he'd even taken care of some breakfast supplies to offer us on the day of our arrival.

Being the considerate and outgoing person that he is, Filippo was always there for us to provide handy tips on where to dine or the best way to get to places we wanted to visit. Apart from that, we spent some time having nice friendly chats where he shared some insights into the history of the place and many more things. When we were leaving, our host was so kind as to call a taxi for us.

The impression Filippo's house produces far exceeds your expectations. It is cosy, very clean and well kept, with a fully equipped and functional kitchen where I was free to use all the utensils I needed. If you want to do some home cooking, the facilities are all there.
In the room, there's a comfortable bed, a chest of drawers, a very nice old wardrobe with a mirror, coat hangers and enough room for your stuff, a desk for your computer and books, and a window overlooking a charming garden with climbing plants and a lemon tree. The guests are welcome to use the garden as well as the kitchen and the comfortable lounge on the ground floor to enjoy their meals, tea/coffee, or wine.

Another indisputable advantage is central location. It's a ten-minute walk from the Duomo, and all the other attractions are within walking distance, too. That is very convenient if you want to stay out late to enjoy Florence at night. Just a little walk, and you're in the quiet and comfort of Filippo's welcoming house. And yes, with the house facing the garden, it IS quiet there, so you won't be disturbed by any noise from the streets.

I was very happy with my accommodation of choice, and would most definitely recommend it to anyone seeking to get the feel of living in the heart of Florence.

Many heartfelt thanks to Filippo.
