HOST: non-intrusive, approachable and friendly.

LOCATION: Great. You can actually get a sense of how locals live and that's one of the main reasons why we travel for. The place is walking distance everywhere unless you're 189 years old.

ROOM: Great shape. Fully equipped with a lot of attention to details. You'll even find books about the city. It's the only place we've stayed that provided an american-european plug adapter. Lovely bathroom with enough towels and amenities. There's also a coffee-maker and mini-fridge. Good internet connection. The place is set up that you don't have to walk through Fabio's living room to get to your accommodation so that makes it very private.

GIVE IT A TRY:

*La Carraia Gelateria. Right on Fabio's street (Serragli) before you cross the bridge. Everyone has a favorite ice-cream shop so this one happen to be ours.

*Gusta Pizza. Just stop by and you'll see. Be ready to fight for your food but it's definitely worth it. Located on Via de Michelozza. Just a couple of blocks away.

*Trattoria Da Ginone. Nice dinner that won't break your budget and best of all, it's on Via Serragli veeeery close to La Carraia.

*Self service Wash & Dry next to Da Ginone for the not so glamorous part of your trip.

The list could go on forever so just do as they do, go where they go and have a blast.
