I just had to book a stay at Michela's because of all the amazing reviews, and I am SO happy I did! Michela truly is the best hostess ever. She was so responsive whenever we needed anything. Michela and her husband Andrew cooked lunch for us one day, and eating together with them in the garden was one of the highlights of our time in Florence. She lives in a cool neighborhood over the bridge that gives you a taste of true Florentine life away from the all the tourists, but just a quick walk to all the major sights. Michela was kind enough to let us keep our bags at her place for an entire day after we checked out because we had a long day trip/tour the following day. Can't say enough wonderful things about Michela and her apartment!
