I arrived late at night and was very warmly welcomed by Daniele. He showed me the room (which was as warm & inviting in person as it was in the pictures), and happily sat down with me to have a look at my itinerary and tell me a little bit about where to go and what to do.

This place is perhaps the closest you'll feel to being in a hotel, with various maps and guidebooks at your disposal in the room, 2 sets of towels neatly folded on the bed, breakfast beautifully laid out on the table every morning, and a willing "concierge" eager to share his knowledge of the city.

I literally walked from the house to every tourist attraction in the city, with the exception of Piazzale Michelangelo. Everything is near, the house was perfect, the hosts were great, and my overall stay in Florence was just a dream!
