Federico was a great host! He was very helpful with recommendations and directions. He provided a map upon arrival and went through it with me and my friend to mark all the best sights/restaurants. His apartment is beautiful! Be ready to walk up the stairs, but once you get to the top loft with a porch on each side overlooking Florence, it's more than worth it! His apartment was well equipped and clean. The view from the top makes the view from the top of the duomo a little less exciting, honestly, because you've already seen over the top of Florence. He also left citronella candles and incense for the bugs if you plan on doing any evening or night time porch sitting. Highly recommend.
