I loved staying at Michele’s place! It is in a perfect location, minutes away by foot from all the sites as well as being in a very cool part of Florence in Oltrarno, on the other side of the river. There are many restaurants, shops and markets virtually on his doorstep! I recommend exploring the San Frediano neighborhood in addition to the more popular attractions that Florence has to offer. The apartment is adorable and has the feel of a very authentic Italian home. It’s equipped with all the essentials if you want to cook as well. I selected my favorite Moka coffee pot and made espresso every morning and enjoyed it on the lovely little terrace. The apartment is quite roomy, with two bedrooms and nice size living/kitchen area. Michele is a wonderful host. He showed us around the neighborhood when we arrived and also checked in via message a few times during my stay, just to see how I was getting along after my travel partner departed and I was on my own. So nice!! My one small area of improvement would be for better, newer pillows (but I travel with my own small pillow so it was not really a problem for me, although it might be for others). I will miss my time at Michele’s place and would definitely return on my next trip to Florence. A true Airbnb experience with a very personal touch. Highly recommended for the traveler who wants to experience the real Italy. Grazie mille Michele!!
