We were visiting Florence for a special concert/open air opera ( by the new generation festival, worth checking out) and didn't want to spend a fortune on accommodation. Riccardo's is Perfect! Really lovely place to stay and very good value. Riccardo welcomed us to his apartment and sat us down with the map and gave us lots of great advice for visiting Florence. He is charming, helpful and super discreet, we liked him a lot. The apartment is perfect - very clean, cool marble floors, brand new bathroom, the double bed is huge and very comfy. Our daughter slept in the single bed. Fan in the room was a welcome addition! Thanks for everything Riccardo. By the way Riccardo is a qualified city guide so if you want he can take you on a tour of the city.
