Michele's place is amazing. The studio in itself is super comfortable and spacious. The high ceiling and the mezzanine/bedroom gives it a modern feel while the old building - in very good conditions - still reminds you of the rich history of the city. The place is absolutely perfectly located in the heart of Florence - 5 minutes walking to the Duomo (Santa Maria Del Fiore cathedral) on one side and 5 minutes to Piazza Santa Croce to the other side. From the train station, expect to walk 10 minutes to and from the apartment.
Michele as a host was amazing - perfect in every way. I don't have enough words to tell you how good he was. He even came to my rescue when I left my keys inside the apartment at 11 PM - and better yet, with a smile on his face - and did his absolute best to accommodate my last minute check-in needs due to my train arriving late. I would 100% recommend his apartments for anyone wishing to have a delightful stay in Florence.
