What a great experience. I picked the best place in Florence! I spent so much time looking--Florence is a hard place to find a great place to stay.

This apartment is so nicely spacious and absolutely immaculate. The pictures are accurate and this faces a backyard area--you can see the bell tower of Santo Spirito. I loved the location--I ended up eating and shopping in Santo Spirito than the north of the Arno. I wanted to be close to the train station and it was very quick--even with my heavy suit case. I would have cried if I had to go east of the train station--so packed and harder to handle a luggage piece based on crowds and the very choppy cobbled streets that you would have to pass. I didn't meet Matteo as he was working but I did meet Matteo's father Gianni--a superbly nice, gracious and welcoming person. He did come by to check in and to thank me. The brightest, cleanest and most comfortable AirBNB I have stayed in so far. Kitchen had all of the tools, cups and plates I needed.

I would certainly stay here again--a welcome respite to come home to everyday.
