If you're looking for a place to stay in Florence, stop looking and just book Federico's place. It is an amazing huge apartment with three rooms for renting. If you want to have your own private space but also communicate with others and find yourself a company, this is a perfect match.
The rooms are very spacious. You can easily work there during the day, or go to a small patio outside. The wi-fi is good and strong enough for work, including video calls. The bathroom is clean, functioning, everything is done with great style all over the flat. The whole place is filled up with books, antique furniture, and authentic interior pieces. Yet the beds are comfortable, and even though there is no AC, it's quite fresh and chilly inside. It was 32 C outside when we arrived, and it was never a trouble inside the flat. There's also a kitchen where you can find everything you need for a nice dinner. The flat is very clean — Marcia cleans up every other day.
The area is supercenter: you are basically a neighbor to Medici Chapel. There are lots of supermarkets, osterias, and bars around the house within a 5-20 minutes walk. Federico is an amazing host: he's always ready to recommend some places to visit, always down for a chat, and is very hospitable, neat, and witty. Special thanks for hosting us, next time we come to Florence, we're def staying here!
