Filippo's apartment is outstanding and he is an incredibly hospitable host. From the moment we booked the space, Filippo was helpful, quick to respond and checked conscientiously if we were all ready for our arrival in Firenze and our visit to his apartment.
The location is perfect-close to all the central amenities, restaurants and shopping, but on a quaint street just off of the river. There is some evening noise outside, with a few restaurants on either side of the apartment, but the crowds are friendly and well behaved. Plus the bedroom is away from the front street so a quiet early sleep is possible, if that's your thing.
The apartment itself is perfect for two people, or up to four (there's a sofa bed). All the conveniences you'd find at home are provided, and the space itself is clean and well-kept. As mentioned in the description, the only drawback other visitors might find are the stairs. The apartment is accessed through a narrow staircase that wasn't lit when we stayed. We didn't mind this at all as we used the flashlight on our phones when leaving or arriving late. We highly recommend this apartment to other travelers, we would definitely stay here again if we return. Grazie mille, Filippo!
