Guido was the most wonderful and helpful host- his apartment was extremely clean and very comfortable- air conditioning was a definite bonus- when you walk out the door from the courtyard it's hard to appreciate just how close you to all the action eg. Galleries, fabulous restaurants ( we went to 4leone- make reservation- amazing service and delicious food) guide also had a lovely recommendation for dinner at his favorite restaurant- it was fabulous too. - it's half a block from the famous ponto vecchia bridge and 2 blocks from the uffizi Gallery - perfect for getting their early ahead of the line ups -
