Modestino was such an amazing host and became a new friend. He was accommodating from the moment I arrived there to the moment I left. (Even when he went to play a show one night.) He shared some of his father's homemade wine, which was absolutely delicious, and offered to cook dinner in his home. His apartment is clean and quirky. I thoroughly enjoyed opening the large windows for a breeze at night. Mine was a short stay in Florence but I would definitely stay with him again when I return.
If you haven't been to Florence, then I highly recommend his location, because santo spirito is the local hotspot for Florentines. Train station is about a 10-15 minute walk and so much better than staying in a high tourist area. Also the food in the piazza santo spirito are some of the best in Florence. Enjoy your adventure!
