Claudio's place is fantastic!! It's located on the south side of the city- the side which is quieter, has the best restaurants and gelato (in our opinion) and feels so much nicer and tucked away! It's still super close to everything- you can walk everywhere in Florence city. We would 100% recommend this place to anyone staying in Florence. Claudio's friend Denis let us into the apartment and gave us lots of excellent tips. We also met Claudio's mother who is an absolute gem. We arrived much later than expected and Claudio and Denis were very accommodating. What a great find!!!
