Overall we had a good stay at Frederico’s apartment. The view from the balcony is wonderful and the space is very nicely and traditionally decorated. The apartment is in a great location if you are visiting Florence for the first time. Extremely central, with lots of good food options on your doorstep. The only drawback is the street noise in one of the bedrooms, which you’ll likely hear if you’re a light sleeper. Also it’s good to be aware that the place is up four steep flights of stairs, which is great for the Duomo view, but you get a work out going up and down them every day! We never met Frederico as his colleague was the one that checked us in, so I cannot say much about the host, but we had no problems while we were there. Worth noting we had some trouble finding the apartment because there are two places with the same building number on the same street. Apart from that our stay was good, and the apartment ticked all the boxes for what we needed!
