Do Not Hesitate
Not only is Andrea’s flat the nicest of all of the rentals we have stayed in, but he is absolutely the best host we have ever had. I do not mean this in any way to diminish the fantastic hospitality of some of our other hosts. However, Andrea is just miles ahead. First of all, he was extremely accommodating and understanding of our somewhat uncertain arrival time and even though we were delayed over an hour and then had great difficulty reaching the parking garage, he greeted us with the biggest of smiles as though it was nothing. He had even offered to meet us at the garage and walk us to the flat. Once at the apartment, he did not rush, but took time to make sure we were familiar with the apartment. Andrea not only welcomes you into his beautiful and spotless home, but he leaves you stocked with a bottle of Chianti, milk, juice, yogurt and an assortment of treats for snacking/breakfast.
Now, about the apartment - the pictures do not do it justice. It is gorgeous and absolutely the cleanest apartment we have stayed in. Beyond spotless. Even the electric kettle was scrubbed clean. The A/C is excellent. We stayed during a heatwave and it quickly cooled down the apartment and made it a welcome refuge during daytime breaks. And last but not least - the location. Many/most of the major sites are within a 5 - 15 minute walk from the apartment. Even closer than I had realized. This is truly the center of it all - you walk outside, turn the corner and you are right in Piazza della Signoria. However, it is also very quiet, especially at night when it is time for sleep.
If you are looking for a place in Florence, look no further.
