Hard to top the superlatives from previous travelers so suffice to say that the location for Matteo's place is perfect. The space itself is calmly and intelligently designed (with a kitchen table and another for setting up laptops etc) and rarely a minute pass where one wasn't tempted to gaze out on the Arno flowing past. We spent quite a bit of time over in the less touristy area by Mercato di Sant’Ambrogio; it was less than 15 minutes walk. Matteo was quite generous with his recommendations for more local things to do. If you can handle the three story hike up the stairs every time you go out we would wholeheartedly recommend this place.
