Great base to explore Florence.
Michele's place was clean and comfortable and fantastic for our short stay in Florence.
Don't be put off by the deserted backstreet appearance. All quite safe and VERY quiet compared to places right in the heart of cafe and attractions. Steep and narrow stairs but this is typical of Italy so make sure your suitcases aren't too heavy.
Well located for access to major attractions and sights and plenty of cafes etc within a few minutes walk.
Wi Fi worked fine, as did TV and kitchen was well stocked with essential items. We even used washing machine and hung clothes on the street clothes line (a novelty for Australians !). Plenty of room which as critical for me for spreading out doing work whilst attending a conference.
Bed was comfy and we slept very well. Even enjoyed a relaxing nap on the lounge which was also comfy.
At the end of our stay we used the taxi rank near Santa Croce which was an easy few minutes walk away.
All in all highly recommended.
