Wonderful!!!!! One of the highlights of our travels in Italy!!! My partner and I stayed in Sandro and Ludovica's place for part of our honeymoon travels. Their apartment is nicely situated in the Oltrano area, across the Arno River from major tourist destinations. You feel as though you are staying in a neighborhood rather than a crowded space overwhelmed by tourists---during our stay, we enjoyed exploring the great restaurants and shops in the Piazza Santo Spirito. Yet, it is within an easy walking distance of everything---especially the Boboli and Bardini Gardens and the Piazza della Michelangelo.
Throughout our stay, Ludovica and Sandro were very thoughtful and hospitable. When we arrived, they left an excellent bottle of Chianti to welcome us. Later, they met us for aperitivos at a local bar (Volume, which had an excellent DJ) and they gave us recommendations for both Florence and Cinque Terre. When they learned that we had recently gotten married and were on our honeymoon, they gave us a small gift from a local artisan. As we later wrote to them privately, Florence could not have better ambassadors. They are, indeed, super hosts:)
