Michele was great! He is also a very good artist. Look for his "mermaid" on the dining room wall. This apartment is in a superior location just minutes from many of Florence's major sights, cafes, shopping and the Mercato Centrale (the upscale food court on the second floor is really good for quick tasty food.) The apartment is huge and has loads of charm. The terrace and Duomo views are icing on the cake. Great host, great place! We had a fantastic visit here!
