We all know that without a good host, the most lavish party is doomed to fail. So before we tell you about his apartment, let us tell you about the man behind your home from home, Lorenzo. If there was anyone to restore your faith in humanity, it's this guy. Our trip to Florence couldn't have started any worse. A Delayed flight and our luggage left behind in London. When we finally arrived at apartment 'Bohemian' on Friday night, we were around 4 hours later than we'd advised him but still, Lorenzo greeted us with his warm, bright smile. He did his best to improve our visit from the outset. Even though it was close to midnight, he was still happy to walk us to local shops where we could purchase replacement toiletries and he even took us to a bar and bought us a few calming beers. Finally leaving us at 1am!!!

Not that we had any luggage to unpack. Haha. There is an air conditioning unit that brings the temperature down nicely on those humid summer nights. In to the bathroom you'll find its tastefully tiled and fitted with a modern shower, bath and toilet. All of which were clean and fully operational. Clean towels are provided and are of a reasonable quality.
