Michele's apartment was perfect for our stay in Florence. San Spirito is away from the crowds but within easy walking distance of all the major sights and locations. Michele was the ideal host, meeting us on arrival and introducing us to the apartment and all the sights and shopping and eating opportunities in the San Spirito area. Michele is also an experienced guide and our family of four spent a wonderful couple of hours being guided by him through the Uffizi (keeping two parents and 10 and 14 year old boys interested throughout). And make sure you visit Michele's recommended geletaria (La Carraia - try the ricotta and pear) - best so far in our travels through Italy.
