Federico and Serena were amazing hosts! Their hospitality was unparalleled, accessibility and responsiveness great, local recommendations were great and their willingness to go above an beyond in helping their guests was outstanding. For example, my daughter left her carry on bag at the tram station closest to their home. We didn't realize it until we were on the train to Milan. Federico graciously immediately went to the station to see if it was by any chance still there. It wasn't but he offered to follow up further with the lost and found of the tram station. That was just really kind and example of the kind of the hosts they were. The neighborhood was very authentic, safe and welcoming - the people very kind and helpful. I do agree with the earlier commenter who said that group seating in the apartment isn't necessarily plentiful if you're planning on spending a lot of time in their home. Also, there has been so much rain lately in Florence that mosquitoes are prevalent throughout the city. Bring bug spray if coming soon. Federico and Selena have a mosquito repellent device in the apartment that works well, let them know if its needed. Overall, I agree with all of the previous reviews. This is a great place to stay, the tram into Florence is timely and quick. Being away from the relentless crowds downtown gives you a chance to catch your breath and relax after the hustle/bustle. This is a family neighborhood where you don't feel the need to constantly be on guard of your belongings. Highly recommend.
