Fabrizio was in prompt communication from the time we made our request. He is a generous and genial host. He offered to collect us at the train station, he took us for morning caffe, and he told us about his day trip through Tuscany that we couldn't avail ourselves of because of our short timeline; oh well, next time. The flat is wonderful, warm, comfortable and convenient to just about everything. There is lots of light and the street is quiet - no noise to wake us in the middle of the night. We are always pleasantly surprised at how quiet Italian destination cities are in the evening and Florence is no exception. All the essential cooking and dining utensils are in the kitchen and dining room; and a large coop is in the square about 100m from the front door, not to forget the Eatily and a high end grocery both nearby Santa Maria Del Fiore. The nearby dining options are boundless; and don't deprive yourself of the opportunity to breakfast or lunch in the Central Market. Enjoyl We did.
