Andrea is the perfect host. He met us at the apartment and showed us all we needed to know. His attention to detail and thoughtfulness in the information provided and recommendations were excellent, especially the local eateries and area. San Frediano and around is more authentic and much cheaper than the other side of the Arno if looking for value for money and away from the crowds. The Brancacci, Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens are all within walking distance. we stayed a week and loved every minute. The pictures of the apartment don't do it justice, it's delightful. We could see the Duomo from the little sunny balcony. We definitely recommend this apartment, you'll have a lovely stay. Thanks Andrea.
