Riccardo’s place was beyond expectations. The pictures do not do it justice. The apartment is in a very nice and secure building with elevators. It sits on a lovely pedestrian street close to many shops and restaurants. The apartment and bathroom was spacious and roomy and the bed and bedding was luxurious. The apartment also had very good air conditioning. Riccardo met us at the building when we arrived and even carried our bags in for my daughter and I. He was very gracious and went over every detail of the apartment and gave us some very good restaurant and gelato recommendations. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone going to Florence.
