Piero communicated very well with us, even though we were running a bit late! Staying at Piero's was truly local experience - it was what it would be like to live in Florence in a true Italian family home! His flat had everything you needed - in addition to all the great artwork and lovely book collection he owned. It was clean, well equipped, true local experience. Truly a gem for this price!

Few things to note: the apartment is about 15 mins walk from the station in the opposite direction of all the touristic sights - so I wouldn't count on coming back to the flat in between sight visits (it's about 25 mins walk to Duomo). The walls are thin, so we sometimes heard the neighbor upstairs at night/morning, but nothing too noticeable. One night the hot water ran out while taking a shower, but came back soon after.
