Jacopo was a great host. He took several calls/text messages from me in the days leading up to our arrival in connection with helping me find reasonably priced parking. He arranged a very affordable space at one of his freinds parking service. My daughter and I stayed at his apartment for five nights. It's a very comfortable apartment with a great modern design. Two bedrooms each with a queen bed and each with its own bathroom. The neighborhood is nice with a lot of resturants near by as well as a good bakery and a grocery store near by but at the same time quiet and not overrun with crowds of tourists. There is also a market in santo spirito square, a block away, each morning it seems. The apartment is just a ten minute walk away from the ponte Vecchio where you can cross the river to arrive where many of the main sites are located. Last, Jacopo gave us some good resturant recommendations.
