Andrea was an excellent host for our first time in Florence. He greeted us at his place with a local bottle of wine (always a plus!) and informed us of things to do, and good places to eat while in Florence. His place is newly renovated, and we enjoyed it thoroughly. It is also located in a central area, not more than 15 minutes walking to the Central Market or the S.M.N. train station. If you are coming to Florence, this is the place to stay!
