We had a lovely stay at Michele's place. It was clean, stylish, and had a nice loft feel to it. It was also very close to the train station, which was helpful! Perhaps about a 15-20 minute walk to other sights and attractions. Michele had detailed recommendations for food or things to see upon arrival, and it was nice to use the washing machine to clean a few clothes. Also, he had a hair dryer and a straightener! :) I also appreciated a personal introduction to the apartment from his assistant, Barbara. I would recommend this place for Florence!
