Ricardo is totally amazing. He was waiting for us outside when the taxi dropped us off. As you can see the pictures of the place are great but they do the place no justice. You are right in the center of everything. I felt safe at night walking the streets of Florence. The bottle of wine shows the class that this man has. He answered questions within minutes. Do not hesitatie to rent this place if it is available book it you wi not be disappointed. Ricardo supplies ear plugs on Friday and Saturday night they did help street is a little noisy but on Sunday night it was quiet. So I assume probably Sunday through Thursday are quiet. I wish that I would have stayed more than three nights in Florence.
