We were especially excited about our visit to Florence, as living in Sydney means coming to Italy is not something we are likely to do again soon, so we couldn't have been more happy to have chosen to stay with Riccardo as he made the trip for us.
There are many reasons he made our stay so awesome; constant communication prior to arriving to answer questions, a comprehensive check in on arrival with personal recommendations on where to eat (all of which were awesome and you should take advantage of!), and just being available to answer questions during our stay made everything so relaxing and enjoyable.
The apartment itself too was beautiful and in the most perfect spot for visiting all the sights; we will stay there again if we come back to Florence.
If we could give Riccardo six stars we would!
