Michele's Pretty and Quiet in Santo Spirito is just that. It is perfectly located for enjoying the major tourist sites and then escaping the crowds for some quiet relaxation. There were really nice shops very close that supplied all of our needs, delicious food and some interesting shopping. The neighborhood was perfect and being close to Piazza San Spirito is wonderful, it's lovely during the day and at night.
Michele was a great host helping us out in many ways. He even took us to the airport for a very early departure the day we left to fly home. He is an excellent guide, as well. We enjoyed the time he spent with us at the museums. His knowledge and insights were interesting and definitely enhanced the experience. He even surprised us at L'Academia to spend time with us there at no charge. We could not ask for a more kind and accomodating host!
The apartment is very comfortable, spacious, and the little balcony is perfect and peaceful for morning coffee and the afternoon cocktail or glass of wine. The bath is modern and we had plenty of hot water. The living area is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen is also spacious and adequate. We had plenty of room and everything we needed for our stay of 5 nights in Florence.
I would recommend this apartment. It accomodated my sister and I nicely, would be great for a couple of a family with children.
