Stop looking! After examining 20-25 apts. in Florence on Air B &B, I chose this gorgeous apt. for my wife and I to stay for six days in mid-May, 2014. It, and host Fernando, exceeded expectations in all respects! For location, space, elegance, comfort, functionality, value, and beauty,it is hard to imagine any apartment matching Fernando's. We thoroughly enjoyed the apt. with Fernando's generous "surprise" gift. In the center of everything, with restaurants nearby, the apt lacked for nothing ( OK, OK, if pressed to find something to improve, the pillows could be softer). Fernando is a fine responsive host and I would never stay anywhere else in Florence except his elegantly furnished apt. which surpassed already high expectations. Hard to believe one could rent this quality for this modest price in this location, ten minutes from the Duomo!
