A must stay!
Antonio's place was exactly as described and in the heart of Florence. It took two minutes to walk to the Duomo and its no more than a 20 minute walk to the Piazzale Michelangelo. It is a perfect middle ground to get anywhere in Florence. There were also loads of restaurants and shopping in the immediate area. The place was very spacious, hot water worked well, and the shutters allowed for a dark room to sleep in. Being a light sleeper, it worked out very well. Antonio is extremely knowledgeable of Florence and the surrounding areas in the Tuscany and can recommend many places to try. Fortunately he was able to accommodate his schedule to show us around Tuscany during one of our days there which was incredible. I would highly recommend staying here!
