Rolando was the perfect host. He met us as arranged and showed us his lovely flat just steps from the Ponte Vecchio. Beautiful cold bottled water was waiting for us when we arrived which was very appreciated. The flat is lovely with everything you need to enjoy your stay in Firenze. We were able to have breakfasts and one meal a day in the flat as Rolando's kitchen was well stocked with what was required to cook in. We truly appreciated the air conditioning and fan during our stay as the weather was very hot and humid but the apartment stayed beautifully cool. The flat is situated perfectly for foot travel around the city. We walked to all the main sites never requiring a bus or any other mode of travel. I would highly recommend staying at Rolando's flat - he is a true gentleman and very kind indeed.
