Carlo is a great and gracious host. Being an architect himself, he has taken great pain in renovating this loft. It has a touch of old world charm along with all modern amenities. The living room and the terrace are the best parts of this loft. The bedroom albeit a bit on the small side, is perfect for a couple. You have a sitting area for yourself right outside the bedroom which gives you ample space (much better than any hotel room).

He had put a hamper together for us with 5 different kinds of teas, coffee, custard, biscuits, etc etc... The loft cant be in a better location with most attractions a maximum of a 2 min walk from his place.

As a host, we couldn't have asked for anyone better. He made us feel like we were the owners of this place and not just someone who was renting in out for 4 days. Being an architect he is very passionate of all the different kinds of architecture all around Florence and shares about the history with great enthusiasm. He also told us about some great restaurants which we wouldn't have gotten to without his recommendations.

The only drawback is that the loft is on the 3rd floor and the walk up can bee a problem with the luggage. Having said that, he helped us with our bags without us even asking. He almost forced us to give him 2 bags to carry up.

I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a cosy, charming and absolutely clean place right in the heart of the historical centre.
