It was a pleasant stay with Riccardo who is taking a tourism course. He communicates very well and took personal time to share his knowledge of Florence and special untold places to see. He even made a special Italian coffee for us to try. Conveniently located to the Piazza Michelangelo which was the highlight of our visits. The newly renovated bathroom was very nice. He even went out of the way to set up his PlayStation 2 for my son when we left him in the apartment alone for an evening.
Good luck Riccardo. Hope someday you will make a return trip to Australia.
