Tommaso was an excellent host! He answered all my questions and was very accommodating to my early arrival. Additionally, we got to meet his mom, who was very sweet. The apartment is close enough to all the main attractions in Florence so that you can travel by foot, but far enough away so it's quiet. It is just literally, steps away from the street market and across the street from the Central Market, which is a must visit btw. And, it's a 5 minute walk to the train station. What more can you ask for? Comfortable, convenient, with a fantastic host. I would highly recommend Tommaso and his home.
