David is the most amazing host! His special touches and attention to anything needed were exceptional! He is also a super nice guy. I would rent any of his apartments for sure in the future. He left us local wine and cookies from his family as well as a guide of local places to dine where he personally knew the chef or owner. Anytime we needed anything he was super quick to reply. The apartment is brand new and really beautiful! Located in a great area of Santa Croce and close to all but away from the main tourist streets. Supermarket right below and right around the corner from the Piazza. It is located on a super busy street (bus stop right in front) so the living and kitchen area of the apartment tend to be loud with street traffic. They also just opened a beer bar below that goes until 3a-4a which can be heard pretty loudly in the bedrooms so thats one downside to the apartment. Its great for a shorter stay but a longer stay may miss a TV in the living area as well as more furniture to make the living area cozier. We will be back in Florence and although may not take this apartment will rent from David for sure.
