We stayed for four nights at Michele's apartment and it was perfect for our stay in Florence and excellent value for money. It was very close to the bridge to get to the key tourist attractions yet just away from the tourists to get some rest. The apartment is really well equipped with everything you could need and more (cotton buds etc) and Michele has prepared a huge map of Florence and business cards of his fav local places to eat which was really handy to refer to. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!
