This was one of the best experiences in Italy so far. Stefano welcomed me wth a big smile and was an amazing host throughout my stay. A simple example that should speak volumes about my experience would be his hospitality and generosity on the very first day. My flight from USA had been cancelled and I landed really late, tired and hungry. I hadn't even been able to convert currency into euros yet but Stefano took me out and paid for my dinner (which I repaid of course!) without even blinking an eyelid. The place was beautiful and located in the true residential part of the city, making for a very real experience. If you're a solo traveler to Florence, look no further!
