Federico is THE most wonderful host. Firstly, his apartment is absolutely stunning! Extremely well-located, right across the river from the Uffizi (with a beautiful view of the building) and steps away from Ponte Vecchio with many cute restaurants/shops/supermarkets nearby. Federico greeted us in person and is such a warm, welcoming person. The apartment is spotless, with all the amenities you could ask for - washer/dryer, TV, even Netflix available on the Playstation. There is also a great selection of books and travel guides for guests to use. We really felt at home in the apartment! Further, we ran into several obstacles on our trip - my mother's bag was stolen, with all of her cards and money inside. Federico went above and beyond to help us through our difficulties. When the bag was discovered in an alley a week later (after we had left Italy), he even went to pick the bag up for us and mailed it back to us. I absolutely cannot recommend Federico as a host enough and we are so grateful towards him!!!
