Claudio is a wonderful host! As a solo traveler he was very helpful in giving tips for places to go to and answering any questions I had. He was very welcoming and answered messages very promptly. The room and bathroom were clean and as pictured. There are several flights of stairs, but Claudio helped me with my luggage which was very nice of him! Some nights you could hear some loud drunk people outside, but that's the trade off for being close to the duomo : ) It's bearable. Claudio's place is very close to different sites in Florence and getting to the other side of the river (ex: right after the Ponte Vecchio) took me about 15 minutes walking. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at Claudio's and would definitely recommend. Florence is beautiful! Thank you Claudio!
