Enrico was a great host, very gracious and friendly. He speaks English well enough to communicate and even share a few jokes. The location is IDEAL, 10-15 min walk from Firenze SMN station, literally across from the Palazzo Vecchio, in the heart of the old city. The apartment dates from the 14th century, so be advised: it's a 4 story walk up, ceilings are very low and the bathroom and toilet closet are very tight. The view from the rooftop terrace more than made up for it my opinion, but if you are over 5'10 or 225lb, you will likely have trouble negotiating with the ceilings and narrow rooms/doors.
