The apartment is lovely with beautiful art on the walls and interesting books on the shelves, and is in a particularly quiet and charming part of Florence. One really does feel like a local here. Michele is gracious and accommodating and was the only air&b host of those we've rented from who actually met us at the apartment, gave us a tour of the place and also of the neighborhood. We hired him to give us a 2 hour guided tour of the historical center and were impressed with his knowledge of the history, architecture and art of Florence. He is also a genuinely charming and kind person. Top rating for this place!
