Our stay at Michele's place was perfect! The location is great--nearby the Duomo (but tucked away from all the tourists). It's also a centrally-located short walk to other sites we visited during our stay (Giardini Boboli, Galleria dell'Accademia, The Uffizi). Michele put together a folder with LOTS of information and recommendations to help us get the most out of our stay in Florence. He was the perfect host!
