I really enjoyed my stay at Filippo's house, and his home was as charming as the photos show. His home is a calm oasis in the centre of Florence from where you can easily walk to Museums etc. and there is a bus stop nearby. My plane was delayed so I arrived later than expected in the evening, I let Filippo know and he was fine about it and waited at home for me. He was welcoming and showed me around the house and explained about keys and lights etc. to get to the house you walk from the street door through a pretty courtyard a little like a secret garden. the house is tidy and clean and full of character. He had kindly laid out breakfast for me for the first morning and had bought some milk for me too. There was also a shelf left empty for me in the fridge. I as able to cook some simple meals and feel quite at home. My room was comfortable and looked out onto the courtyard/garden. Next to my room was a good sized bathroom with a shower.
Filippo is a very friendly and polite fellow and his home is very special and I would stay there again if I could.
