Me mad was a wonderful host! He sat with me for about 45 minutes when I arrived to provide me transit instructions, tips on what to see and where to eat near his bnb and in the piazza. He was extremely detailed Andy I had no problem getting where I wanted to go because of that. My Italian is not very good so that was important. Also I did not want to eat at tourist spots having just spent 4 days in Rome near the Vatican and making a few mistakes on restaurant choices. You mus Definitely eat at yummy yummy and shop at Coop for food and drink supplies! I am on day 14 of 17 in Italy and Florence was by far my favorite city.
