Location, character, and Fabrizio--3 qualities that made this apartment perfect.

The location is right in the heart of Florence, a mere few minutes walk to the Duomo and the open market is just around the corner. Being down a quiet side street makes the evening's quiet while still being right in the middle of everything.

Fabrizio's apartment is so full of character, you can spend a couple of hours exploring all of the eclectic decorations--there are some true treasures, like a >300 year old book. The sofa bed is likely the most comfortable we have ever slept on. With king, single, and sofa beds, the apartment easily sleeps 5 people. The only thing to keep in mind is the bathroom--it is shockingly efficient use of space, combing the toilet space and shower into one. It is small but more than sufficient to get the job done and no worries of hygiene. I'd argue it is quite convenient. The air condition units work very well and cool the place down quickly (if you've been to Italy in the summer heat, you'll know how wonderful this is).

Lastly, and most importantly, is Fabrizio. A native to Firenze, he is a true gentleman, being incredibly friendly, helpful, and full of character and life. We highly recommend taking a Tuscany/Siena day your with him. He is full of knowledge and is passionate about his homeland. We have stayed with many airbnb bookings and Fabrizio is one of the best.
