My husband and I stayed at Federico's apartment during our 4 days in Florence and it was amazing. The view from the terrace was lovely. There are a LOT of stairs to climb to get to his apartment, but the view makes it worth it. If you have a lot of luggage be prepared to climb many stairs. Federico and his brother gave us many suggestions for sightseeing and for restaurants which we thought was really helpful. The one thing I wasn't aware of is that a neighbor has a cat (very friendly) that likes to come hang out with you if you are out on the terrace. We are both really allergic, but luckily we had allergy pills and a lint roller. The cat loves to lay on the chairs and his hair was everywhere. Not Federico's fault, but if you are allergic come prepared. We loved our stay in Florence and we are dreaming of the day we can come back again!
