We stayed at Mike's place for four nights, during which we participated in the Florence marathon. Mike's friend (also Mike) welcomed us close to midnight and showed us around the house, giving also tips about the city.
The location is splendid for walking around the city, with Duomo just a few blocks away and nice restaurants, coffee places, gelaterias and shops all around.
The house was beautiful with a touch of history. The only small thing was that, during Friday and Saturday nights there was a little noise from the street which would have kept a bad sleeper awake.
Recommend a taxi from/to the airport, cost about 25-30 €.
Thank you Mike for a great visit to Florence!
