Cosimo's place was fantastic and he was a wonderful host. It was close to everything we could want or need in terms of wonderful restaurants, shops and all the sites Florence has to offer. On top of all of that, once our feet were too tired to keep exploring, we could relax in comfort with a glass of wine and watch kingfishers whizz past under the Ponte Vecchio during the day or listen to the muted chatter on the bridge and watch the people and reflections on the Arno under the lights at night!
