Michele was a great host - from beginning to end! He greeted us when we arrived (note - it is not easy to drive in Florence - take a taxi or the train!) and gave us incredible recommendations about the "must see" places as well as great suggestions for restaurants. He was very responsive to all our questions for help (i.e. making reservations for special wine tasting lunches and making sure we had taxi reservations for our ride to the airport when we departed). The location of the apartment is ideal - close to the Central Market, the Duomo, and various museums and squares - and everywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance. We were 3 couples traveling together and appreciated 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Unless you like to stay out late yourself, bring some earplugs for those sleeping in the two front bedrooms! We loved our stay with Michele in Florence and would highly recommend him as a host - and recommend the Art Apartment - beautifully renovated and decorated.
