Great house, awesome location just a couple minutes walk from the academia. Federico’s dad Marco received us and helped with a 5 minute overview of the city, places to visit etc. Most of our family is vegetarian and he suggested really good and hard to find places to eat. The house has a great view of the duomo. It is right outside a busy bus station, which we were worried about but by the time you get to the house located in the 3rd floor there is absolutely no road noise and very quiet inside. We visited with our 2 and 8 yo boys and they loved it too. He had little useful things at the house like the Rick Steves Florence pocket guide which was very useful. Would definitely go back to Federico’s place next time we visit Florence.
