Overall our stay at Bernardo's was a great experience. I thought the location was perfect, fairly easy to drive to and there was parking a block away which was very convenient although it was $30 a day. Bernardo gave us excellent restaurant recommendations and even made reservations on our behalf which we greatly appreciated. He was excellent at communicating before our trip and during our stay. He met us to orient us with the apartment and give us some pointers about Florence in general. The only negative comment we had was the washing machine was not functioning which was one of the reasons we chose that apartment. We were halfway through our two-week travels in Italy and really wanted to be able to do a load of laundry during our stay. I would definitely recommend this apartment and Bernardo as a host!
