From the terrace of Guido's apartment, we watched rowers on the Arno, listened to a saxophone playing from the bridge and drank local wine as the sun went down over beautiful Florence. That is pretty much the best experience you can have in the city - certainly not possible in an overpriced hotel!
The apartment exceeded our expectations in terms of location and comfort (including wifi and guide books); it's place on the river meant we were walking distance from the main sites but also the cool bars and shops of Oltarno.
Guido is a terrific host: charming, punctual, thoughtful and accommodating. We had a marvellous time and can't recommend the apartment enough. Grazie Guido.
