Michele was a great host... mellow and friendly and very helpful. The apartment was very large, comfortable and very well set up with couches, dining area, kitchen and laundry area, etc. For large Americans, the slightly larger-than-average shower stall was nice. Everything we needed was provided, included lots of business cards for recommended restaurants, gelato, etc. Michele even had a huge artsy street map of Florence which was very helpful. When we arrived, he spend a lot of time pointing our difference destinations and telling us how to reach them. The location was great... close to a bus stop, near several cool piazza with great food and drink and hands down the best gelato shop we experienced during over 3 weeks in Italy! Michele and his lovely apartment were part of our wonderful experience of the amazing city of Florence. We highly recommend him and Oltrarno Modern Loft!
