Andrea is a very gracious host. I had no issues communicating with him, and he responds quickly. His apartment is wonderful! It’s easy to access and there are many local shops and restaurants nearby. If you want an authentic experience in Florence, then be sure to stay here. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, but is still close to all the places you will want to see. You will have a beautiful view of the Palazzo Pitti right from the window of the apartment! And to top it off, Andrea left us a bottle of wine and plenty of water! If I could give him more than 5 stars I would!
