Simone's place was even better than it looked in pictures. It was an amazing corner of Florence to explore. A bit off the beaten track so restaurants etc weren't so touristy- but it was still incredibly close to all of the tourist sites (1 min from Ponte Vecchio; 5 mins from Uffizi Gallery).
Simone himself was an amazing host. He was so friendly and he even helped carry our bags up the many flights of stairs.
I would definitely stay here again!
