Andrea's place has an optimal location in the city center: two blocks from the Piazza della Signoria, yet in a quiet street (also with good, inexpensive places to eat). The place was immaculate and so thoughtfully furnished, including an ironing board; ear plugs in the bedside tables; and a refrigerator with juice, yoghurt, and milk. Andrea is a very thoughtful host and reached out to me during my stay to ask whether I needed anything, even additional recommendations for restaurants. He graciously came to the apartment to see me off when I left.
