My husband and I stayed at Michele's place for nine days with our baby boy (his grandparents also joined us for four days) and we all loved every minute of it. It's a charming flat in a cul de sac, away from the hordes of tourists but a stone's throw away from most places we wanted to see. There's a little farmer's market in Santo Spirito which we visited every morning to buy fruit and vegetables. The square is especially lively in the evenings when crowds gather on the steps in front of the basilica. We enjoyed spending time on the balcony which has a pretty view complete with a cypress tree. Michele himself was a great host, very kind, attentive, and responsive. I hope his place will be available next time we're in Firenze.
