Federico is a first-class host who is helpful, generous with his time and ensured our trip to Florence was perfect. LoveTheLoft is a brilliant apartment right in the heart of Florence but in a quiet side street, five minutes’ walk from Ponte Vecchio and the same distance to the Duomo. The apartment is spacious and very well appointed; a funky cool place. There is also a washing machine and excellent facilities for cooking - although in seven nights we really only used the hob for brewing coffee, making the most of the myriad of fine restaurants in the locale. Federico recommended some great places to eat; I would highly commend Osteria Spirito Santo (in Piazza Spirito Santo) and Ristorante Del Fagioli in Corso dei Tintori. I can’t praise LoveTheLoft or Federico enough. The perfect host and a great apartment from which to explore the delights of Florence.
