Our stay at Walter's place was fantastic! He is an excellent host - friendly and welcoming to chat with, gave great recommendations of places to go, quick to communicate. He also went above and beyond to help us out with our luggage snafu: our bags didn't make our layover as quick as we did and navigating lost bags and delivery couriers with little to no Italian was difficult. When the bags finally arrived with no warning we were out at a museum, and he insisted we enjoy our time there and not cut the visit short just to get the bags. We could have wasted a lot of time out of our few precious days in Florence on baggage problems had he not helped out! The apartment is old and quirky, just like the description says, but it is totally part of the charm. We thought the location was absolutely perfect. Easy to walk anywhere, enough neighborhood vibe to feel hip, but not too noisy at night. Pizza place downstairs was pretty good too! Can't forget about the delicious home made wine he left in the fridge for us. I would definitely stay again if I ever make it back to Firenze!
