Federico's place was great. You truly get to experience what living like a local in Florence feels like. Really felt like you were staying at a friend's place. The decor was authentic with lots of small touches to indicate that you're living in a home instead of a business establishment. The multi-floor unit and balcony was great. We enjoyed some nice Tuscan wine on the balcony overlooking all of Florence during sunset.... which was the whole purpose of booking this place. The kitchen is also fully stocked so we were able to cook some authentic Italian with groceries from the local supermarket and gourmet touches from Eataly. The location was fantastic where it's a short walk to the main tourist area but stay on the "cool" side of the city with lots of bars, restaurants and an active night life.
Federico was a great host. He was attentive to our needs and went out of his way to make sure we could check in on time after a long train ride.
As many other reviews have mentioned, there are many stairs to the apartment and within the apartment so be aware. Wasn't a big deal. Just meant after the climb, you can enjoy the cool A/C of the apartment.
