Michele was by far the best host we had throughout our stay in Italy. Our train got in before check-in time & so we asked Michele if we would be able to drop our luggage off. He agreed to let us drop off our bags & we even got to check in early since the apartment had been cleaned early. Michele met us at the apartment upon our arrival & gave us instructions regarding the apartment as well as some great recommendations for breakfast & traditional Florentine steak. The space is beautiful & even more impressive, Michele explained he built almost everything himself. He was available to answer any and all questions, issues or concerns & always replied very quickly. The location was wonderful & in a less-touristy neighborhood but still within walking distance of any main attraction. It was nice to come home to peace & quiet. We were sad to go on to our next destination but we hope to be back soon & would definitely stay at Michele's again if we find ourselves back in Florence.
