When you come to Florence the choice is simple, stay at Silverio's place, don't bother going any where else you will not find a better host in Florence. The location of the flat is perfect just a 15 min walk and you are right in the bustling center of town. The flat is spotless, and looks out on to a court yard with table and chairs and a pergola which is great for sitting down and having a beer. There is a washing machine should you need it and our flat had a nice mezzanine where you could read a book. There were lots of books on Florence and Silverio had also provided a small basket of snacks and jams to have with a cup of tea. We had come from Lucca the day we arrived and had foolishly got a parking ticket there, the ticket was all in Italian and hence we had no idea what to do with it, I told Silverio and he simply said "give me the ticket and I will sort it our for you", the man is a gentleman. We had no such parking problems in Florence as Silverio had saved a space for our car right outside the front door and had arranged the all day parking scratch cards for us. We had also left a few things in the flat but again Silverio gave us a call and we were able to collect them from him. Its these little touches which set this place apart from other air BnB 's we have used. The neighborhood is good and seemed very safe, there are some great restaurants with in a 5 min walk and of the flat along with a really good super market and pharmacy. Thanks again Silverio for all your help it was great meeting you and am looking forward to coming again.
