I stayed a couple of nights at Antonio's place while visiting Florence. The room is spacious and pleasantly cool, even when it is hot (38 degrees C) outside. The shared spaces (kitchen, bathroom, living room, garden) are nice and you will probably find everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Although the apartment is not in the city centre, it is well connected by bus, but if you don't mind to walk a bit, you can be in the old centre in 30 minutes. For a supermarket, restaurants or a place to get a good coffee and pastries, you don't need to go that far as there are quite a number of amenities within short walking distance. I did not get to meet the host during my stay, but Antonio was very welcoming and helpful in all our communication. I can definitely recommend staying here!
