Federico was an excellent host. We were picked up promptly at the airport and given a good tour and explanation of the apartment on arrival. The apartment was as described and shown, and the location is ideal for exploring the historic city center, roughly halfway between the Duomo and Uffizi and very close to the Bargello. The neighborhood was active at night (but the apartment was quiet), and we felt very safe walking around. The apartment is spacious and architecturally interesting, while the building itself is otherwise non-descript. It's not ideal for small children (open staircase) or the very large (small shower and low ceiling beams in the loft), but it was great for us. The kitchen is useful but nothing extraordinary. We have no hesitation recommending this property and would stay there again.
