Michele was a great airbnb host and his apartment was ideal too - I'm very happy to have met him and rented his place.
It is very centrally located but on a pretty quiet street, and it is very cosy - so while there is plenty to see or lots of good places to eat right on your doorstep, the flat is nice enough that you could happily spend some time taking it easy there without feeling like you are missing out on the centre outside. Everything I needed for the flat was there and it definitely feels like a place that has been made someone's home, rather than just an airbnb-only place.
Michele is a super friendly guy and he was very helpful at providing recommendations for what to do in Florence too, including going to see him perform in a jazz group in a nice bar one evening.
The flat is 2 minutes from Santa Croce, and the gelateria dei neri is also very close and worth trying out! Thanks again to Michele for having me :)
