Even though we did not get a chance to meet the host, we had a wonderful stay! We couldn't have asked for more! 6 of us fit comfortably, two queen beds and two single beds. It was a 15 min walk from train station but so close to duomo, shopping, and food! Loved the restaurants near this house. This is such a cozy apartment, feels like home! Love the painting decorations, books, and even skylights! We had everything we needed in the apartment including wine opener, tv, ac, guides, books, etc. one of the best part is having clean towels! I never trust other towels but these were cleaned and wrapped professionally. With that said, the place is very clean. Highly recommended! If I go back to Florence, I will stay here again! Make sure you don't have too much luggage since its 4 flight of stairs. We each only had a backpack so it was fine for us!
