I was very nervous travelling solo to another country but Fernando's place made me feel as if I have a pretty little home at the centre of Florence. I was very touched by the homemade prosecco, the lovely fresh fruits, the ham and cheese and bread in the fridge. It was close to lovely places to eat - you just had to go down and within two minutes find many options. Everything was marked and organised well in the flat and I didn't have to check up on anything. It's so important for a tourist to be free of such hassles and quickly get down to doing things he or she has come for. If you like something central, very neat and classy - I recommend this place. The facilities were super - shower, internet, stove, coffee machine. The only thing that I found a little uncomfortable was the lack of ventilation and that the only window that did not allow for much fresh air to circulate. But it's an old flat and not something one can change. There is no view. However, I would stay here again for everything else.
