Wonderful location, can easily walk to many restaurants and shops and most importantly all the main sights of Florence. The apartment is charming and comfortable and Michele had provided useful information and any necessary items. His mom was there when we arrived early and she was so sweet! With the windows open you can hear the sounds of the neighborhood but at night with the windows closed all was quiet and we slept very well. Thank you Michele (and for helping to carry my horribly huge suitcase down the stairs) !!
