Lapo was a kind and thoughtful host, providing us with a lovely welcome gift! He was easy to contact, and gave great recommendations for local places to eat. The apartment was clean, spacious, comfortable and stylish. It was great being able to use the kitchen and washing machine. Information, maps and guidebooks for the city were provided. The location is central and convenient, but the apartment was quiet and the street felt very safe. The only negative was an unpleasant smell in the bathroom, that Lapo indicated is a feature of historic buildings after heavy rain in Florence. But I guess that's the price you have to pay for such a great location and atmosphere!
