This zen-calm host was a delight. His vegan breakfast creations were absolutely divine (and healthy), and his restaurant suggestions were the best we had in Italy. The directions to the apartment via bus were precise and made our first trip into Firenze smooth. The neighborhood was quiet and an easy bus ride into the city center. Markets, laundromat, pizzerias, restaurants, etc. were all within walking distance. Gabriele was a great source of information about the city and gave us insight into the culture. We enjoyed visiting with him and would highly recommend!
