It was all we thought and more. Some times the pictures can be misleading, but some times they don't do a place justice. Michele's apartment in Florence was just that. If you want to go to Florence and let yourself believe that at least for a couple of days you are not a wary traveler but a true Florentine, then this is the spot for you. It has an artistic air to it and is tucked just off the main streets to give you a local neighborhood vibe. But don't worry, you're not far from anywhere that you want to be. Michele met us and gave us savory advice on the best places to eat (because they are the places that he eats at). We tried all of his suggestions, and he knows what he's talking about. We texted our friends that if they ever travel to Florence, they have to stay here.
