Federico is a wonderful host. He is there when you need him, but he is not hovering. He met us early on the day of our check-in and allowed us to leave our luggage at the flat while we went out to the museums.
The location is excellent. The apt is literally within walking distance of everything. Easier to walk from the train station than taking a taxi due to the one way streets and congestion
At the same time, it is quiet inside the apt and the smell of jasmine comes in from the little courtyard.
The kitchen is set up for breakfast and the outside area is charming.
Negatives are that the room is not as bright as pictured. The only window is to the courtyard which is shared with another room 3m away. The double bed is kind of saggy, not to be shared by friends who aren't really close, and the sofa bed is a sofa bed...better for a child than a 3rd adult. The building is very old and though Federico has made one of the bathrooms very comfortable, the other seemed more like his personal space, so essentially you are sharing the one nice bathroom with 2 other rooms.
Otherwise the place is well set up- there is a washing machine available, info available on how to get around, recommendations for restaurants, use of the fridge for snacks and of course, Florence at your doorstep
