We absolutely loved Riccardo's apartment - spacious, clean and well equipped (kitchen utensils, tea and coffee, towels etc), beautifully decorated, comfortable and well-appointed. The location is perfect for exploring Florence - we knew we would do a lot of walking - and it's also close to Santa Maria Novella train station for easy access to other locations or travelling in (we came from Manchester in the UK to Florence by train). Francesca met us on arrival and was available if we needed any help, and Riccardo kept in touch with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was OK. Would definitely stay here again, such great hosts and a fabulous apartment - we were cosy and warm (it was the end of November), and we felt welcome and very at home. Highly recommended. Thank you Riccardo and Francesca! We will be back…
