We stayed at Federico's newly decorated apartment for two nights and it was the perfect location in Florence! It was right in the hub of the city with very easy access to the train, shopping, local restaurants and tourist spots. His brother, Matteo, was extremely helpful when we arrived. Providing us with loads of information about the surrounding area, restaurants etc. Very clean place with an epic shower! The only downfall was the noise from residents in the surrounding apartments. They liked to stop to have loud conversations at inconvenient times of the morning but other than that it was a great place to stay.
