Raffaele is an amazing host. He is very nice and friendly, welcomes you with a warm smile, and makes you feel like you have a home in Firenze. His place was just lovely! Everything was within walking distance. For instance, il Duomo is probably like less than 10 minutes on foot. The neighborhood is very safe as well and I had no problem walking alone at night.
On my first day, Raffaele showed me a map and gave me tons of great advice on where to go. He was always kind enough to offer me some tea and snacks. The carrot cake he made was delicious!
There are also two of the loveliest cats in his place. They are so adorable and love cuddles! One of them always came to my bed and slept with me :)
I recommend staying at Raffaele's for anyone who is looking for a nice, cozy place in a small, lovely neighborhood in Firenze! I'm already planning on coming back :)
