Having stayed in dozens of places in Europe and the US with AirBnB, I can say that my stay with Gabriele was my #1. Let me say this another way: I have stayed in dozens of places in Florence, and Gabriele's place has become my first choice for future trips there.
A warm-hearted and generous host, with a vast knowledge of Florence, he also lived for many years in the US.
He is an accomplished man in the kitchen, and the room I stayed in had a large library of volumes on cooking - titles in English, French, and Italian...
The panoramic view of the city is a real treat.
I cannot recommend Gabriele more highly, and I cannot wait to plan my next trip to Florence. This was more than a room rental. I came away with a friend.
