In one word, the experience at Jacopo's house was 'amazing'. Even before we landed in Florence, Jaco had given us all the details on how to reach the house, whom to contact, etc, which made us feel a lot comfortable. While we couldn't meet Jaco, he ensured that his friend was waiting for us with the key and explained everything about the house and the city to us. The house is infact better than the pictures, and was absolutely clean and beautiful. And to top it, it is just next to Santa Croce and about 15 mins walk from other central areas (with many great restaurants in the vicinity). We would definitely stay here the next time we come to Florence. Thanks for all the help, Jaco.
