General Description of the Apartment:

Tarcisio’s apartment is just as described. It is very spacious and in a quiet part of Florence. Since it is newly renovated, it is more soundproof than many older apartments. With 3 separate AC units, it was easy to keep the place cool on the warm days we were there. You must use all three though and be sure the window drapes do not cover the unit by the door.

The transaction with the owner:

Tarcisio was waiting for us when our taxi pulled up. He thoroughly showed all the apartment features – very important at any apartment. His English is good and he is passionate about his town Florence. He showed us good places to go, things that tourists tend to miss, restaurants with true local food – not tourist food.

Because he lives a block away, we ran into him a few times. Once he spent an hour driving us to see Florence from a different perspective – it made all the difference for us. Another time, we ran into him walking and he directed to a wonderful place for lunch. He is really a great host and will do anything he can to be sure you enjoy not just the apartment, but your time in Florence.

My son is staying there for the school year as a student and Tarcisio gave him his mobile phone is case he ever needed anything. He said he know what it is like to be a father. Great guy!

Thanks Tarcisio!
