Raffaele is gracious, caring host. He communicated well, on how to get to his house. The area in which his flat is located is perfect for visitors. Florence itself is very walkable, and everything is within reach. When I arrived raffaele gave me the keys, and a helpful map of the area. He then took me on a very nice walk around the neighborhood and pointed out various landmarks that I should use if ever get lost. Most mornings he offered me coffee and we would have a nice little chat. The room is small but it perfect for a solo traveler. Having your own private bathroom really is a nice perk. I would definitely recommend raffaele's place to spend your holiday be it a week or a couple of days
