Excellent! Ferdinando reached out to us about 7-10 days prior to our arrival to confirm things and also sent us a map with directions from the train station. Although it was raining and kind of crappy out when we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised to find Ferdinando waiting outside for us! He then gave us a tour of the apartment with tips for using the washing machine, gas range etc. During our stay he even reached out to us to let us know about a sinkhole slash city water main break that may affect our water service. Although the problem was quickly resolved, I thought it was a sign that he cared about our comfort and we appreciated that he reached out to us.
The apartment location was great - close to the station, il duomo and san lorenzo market & also quiet at night. We took advantage of the great location by stopping by the apartment for bathroom breaks and also enjoyed some relaxation time on the outdoor patio.
We're extremely grateful for Ferdinando's hospitality and his wonderful apartment - he truly made our honeymoon memorable!
FYI: be careful when booking a room in that area. Based on prior experience in Florence, the vendor carts for the lorenzo market can be extremely noisy traveling on those cobblestone streets in the early morning (on their way to work), but as far as we know none of them went down our street.
