We have been travelling around for over a year, and have changed many apartments and hosts around Europe, and Simone is by far one of the best ones we had. His communication was great before, during and after our visit. The room looked better than the pictures, the bathroom was well equipped and cozy. We even had a tea kettle in the room! The location was really amazing, about 20 minutes walk to Duomo through a pedestrian street filled with funky stores. Since Florence is my new favorite city, I am sure we will stay with Simone again.
