I was supposed to stay with friends in Florence only an allergy to a cat forced me to look for alternate lodging at the last minute. I found Michele's listing and knowing the area, it seemed like a perfect fit. The apartment was exactly as outlined. While the space is tiny, it is very well thought out - the sofa bed is comfortable and the bathroom is sparkling clean and brand new. While I did not use the kitchen, it was well equipped. There are plenty of towels for guests and the wifi worked perfectly. In Florence, you really only use your place to sleep and take a shower so this is perfect. There is also air conditioning which is a must in the warm weather. There is even a hairdryer! I did not hear any noise from the street and slept well. The best part of this apartment is its host. Michele pays attentions to details, is responsive in his communication and flexible ( like meeting me to check in when I took an earlier train) . While I had lived in Florence, he did share some new restaurants with me and even sent me the information. I would highly recommend this place to a single traveler or even a couple.
