We had an amazing stay in Florence at Michele’s place and would highly recommend to anyone considering. A few call outs:
1) Location - I’m not sure we could’ve picked a better one, Florence is a walking city and we got everywhere we needed on foot within minutes. You’re in a neighborhood with more locals which is great (it’s quiet and less touristy) but you’re still only a few minute walk to all the major sites and shopping in the city
2) Apartment - Pictures don’t do Michele’s place justice. It is beautiful with really cool artistic / bohemian touches, it’s also sparkling clean and a top floor unit with its own private terrace!
3) Host - Michele’s guide to the city is awesome. It was great to put down yelp for a bit and just listen to what a local had to say. We visited many of the recs in his list and would highly recommend to others. He was also highly responsive to any questions we had and met us in person to show us around the apt!
Overall, we had an incredible stay in Florence and Michele’s apartment was a big part of that.
