Our stay at Fabio's was just what we were looking for in Florence. A little space for ourselves, a yummy breakfast in the mornings, and walking distance to everything! Fabio's place is a 20 minute walk from the train station, past a beautiful church, over a bridge across the Arno (2 bridges up from Ponte Vecchio) and down a narrow street full of character and ever-narrowing sidewalks. We enjoyed our time in the city immensely, and coming "home" to a comfy bed away from all the hubbub was a big factor in that enjoyment! There were several great restaurants just a few blocks up from his home, and by the time we left (5 days), we had begun to feel like a local (at least, a little bit!).

Fabio's warm hospitality, great breakfasts, and prime location are why I would recommend visitors looking for a more "chill" home base to stay here!
