Staying at Guido's apartment was great. There is a ton of room (larger than I expected), air conditioning, and even a washing machine. The location is fantastic, just a short walk down from the Duomo and two blocks from the Bargello Museum. The building next door to Guido's tower was the house Michelangelo grew up in. Though there is no English, picking up keys from Mr. Lombardi downstairs was a breeze. Depending on how much luggage you are carrying, the walk to the train station is easy - we each had a full backpack and a daypack. A great stay in a nice place.
