Michele’s apartment is beautiful, and very peaceful, with very deep and authentic qualities. He made and documented excellent recommendations for local places to eat and was very helpful and accommodating when my flight was cancelled just before I was due to leave. I plan to visit again. It isn’t suitable for people with mobility issues as it’s high up and the stairs to the bedroom are steep and require balance. But as an artist’s house it really does hit the nail on the head. This corner of Florence is largely free of tourist crowds too. The nearby market is a joy each morning and lunchtime.
