Fabio was very welcoming, his smile is heart warming,and he gave us a room full of arts, in line with the ambience of Florence. His house is in a very good location - away from the tourist crowd in the city, but just close enough to access it by a brisk 10 minute walk. To add fragrance to gold, his home is like a little sanctuary with its lush green courtyard. He gave us very filling and great breakfast with bread, butter, coffee, cookies, eggs, fruits.. and much more! We got to interact with people from different parts of the world who were staying there during these breakfasts.He is a very gentle person, and was kind enough to spend time discussing with us our many questions about italy and florence. He also gave us maps and directions to the city and its attractions. He was not much responsive over phone probably because he was busy taking care of the house but as soon as he noticed our messages he got back to us. We wish we had more time in Florence, because we love the city, and we love the host too!
