We absolutely loved staying at Federico's place! Visiting Florence, it was important to us that we stay close to everything within walking distance. We were only a couple blocks from the Duomo, and just next door to the San Lorenzo Market and the Mercado Centrale. The best part of our stay was the feel and decor of the place which match the Florentine period. So we were lucky to experience the historical Florence and stay in a historical place to complete the wonderful experience. The heating can be challenging because of the age and large size of the place, but this want a big issue for us. Federico is very friendly, and we loved his choice of music at his house.
