It was a pleasure staying at Antonio’s place. It’s super close to all the main attractions, but on the other side of the bridge so you can easily get away from the touristy areas. We had dinner at La Casalinga near Antonio’s and it was the most authentic Florentine experience of the trip. His place is in a perfect location which makes it easy to relax in between adventures. We would stay again in a heartbeat! Also, Antonio is an excellent host, friendly and helpful. He has little maps for you that recommend different places to go and show how to walk there. There is a grocery store not far, too, which is super convenient.
