Matteo was great, when we arrived there was a folder full of useful information about Florence which he went through with us and also showed us all the key places we should visit on the map which was really useful! He also recommended some restaurants near-by which was great (Simbiosi Pizza is a must!).

The appartment was fantastic, exactly as described in the listing, and perfect for 2 people! It was clean, bright and had a wonderful homely feel. Bed was comfy, and kitchen was well stocked! They even left us some drinks and snacks in the fridge - we really felt like it was a home away from home!

As for the location, i dont think you could choose a more perfect one! 5/10 mins walk to Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (you must climb both the bell tower and the dome!) and 10/15 mins walk depending on how quickly you walk to Ponte Vecchio on the river. We felt like we were outside the touristy areas but close enough that we didnt have to walk for miles to go. We regually went out early then came back to the appartment to freshen up before going out again in the evening.

We would defintely recommend staying here!!
