Michele's apartment is very close to Florence SMN. His apartment is clean and very functional. I and my wife particularly like its small kitchen. There are several grocery stores near by that are easy to reach. Michele has been very helpful, and provided tips of restaurants and museum visiting. We enjoyed our stay at his. Everything is perfect except the apartment is at 3rd floor and there is no elevator. I guess this is common for all houses in the old town. If you carry big luggage, it might be a little bit strenuous to move the luggage up and down.
