Riccardo was an amazing host. He met us, showed us the suite, then spent the next 4 hours taking us on a walking tour all over old Florence! He is a great tour guide, and while halting, his English was MUCH better than our Italian. The suite was beautiful, in immaculate condition. It's on the top floor as advertised, but beware if you have large bags - the stairs are steep and narrow and it's 4 stories up.
We walked from the train station towing our bags so it was a bit of a hike, but not a problem for anyone even moderately fit. The streets were crowded and noisy. It was a big relief to turn down the little side street to Riccardo's place and feel the instant quiet. The suite is very quiet and restful.
Everything was excellent and even better than advertised.
