This flat has the feeling of an upscale hostel. There are four guest rooms, two bathrooms, and a large, well-equipped kitchen. The room is as shown. There is a fan, which helps with the heat (there is no a/c). The fridge has shelves for each guest, so buying groceries and cooking is something many of us did while I was there. One note: the description says a washer is available, but there is a fee if €5 per stay.

I only met Matteo and his mom (she cleans the flat). Matteo is very kind and took time to explain how to get around on a map he provided. He also responded quickly when my fan stopped working and provided a replacement.

The train station is an easy 10 minute walk. The Duomo is about 15 minutes. From there, another 5 to L'Accademie (David statue) and 5-10 to Uffizi Gallery. Be sure to make reservations online several days before your visit! L'Accademie has a two hour wait, in the heat, most hours of the day, unless you go very early. Also, if you have electronics, there are two outlets in the room, one for the fan (a must-have) and one has an anti-mosquito warmer. I unplugged that and used a converter with two USB ports. This solved that problem.

Overall, I would stay here again. I made some good friends with my roommates and we had a great time!
