I cannot overstate how fabulous our experience was staying in Ezio's thoughtfully designed home. Firstly, Ezio communicated in a very clear manner and sent videos that were extremely helpful for checking in. He also shared some of his local favorite spots for food, drinks and gelato. Ezio went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful time in Florence and anytime I had questions, about say, where to get the best cheese & meats, he called his chef friend for the best market recommendations. He is truly a gem of a host!
And the apartment itself was STOCKED, I mean it had everything we could've possibly needed and more! My husband is a chef and had we had any desire to cook during our stay, we would have had absolutely everything we needed. It truly felt like home when we came back to his place after long days walking and biking thru Florence and Tuscany. And the location cannot be beat! If you want to be away from the tourist crowds (they are everywhere) then you want to be on the Oltrarno, near Santo Spirito where you still see normal folks getting coffee, eating, doing errands, etc.
