I could not speak more highly of Walter, his apartment and the location of the apartment. Everything was very clean and very beautiful. The bed was comfortable, the hot water in the shower never ran out (and I take long showers), I felt very safe in the building and mainly, Walter went above and beyond to make me feel at home in Florence with recommendations, maps and even a bottle of wine. He was reachable the whole time I was there via email. The only things worth noting is that the washing machine is only a washing machine. There is no dryer. Also, it is up one flight of stairs with no elevator.
