My husband and I had a lovely stay in Florence. Lorenzo’s place was very clean and just a tram-ride away from where we wanted to go. We loved the location because we wanted to stay in a quiet area away from tourists and his place is in a residential area with little shops and cafés that locals go to. I think that’s way better than those found in touristy places. There’s also Coop (supermarket) nearby which was very convenient when we needed to buy stuff or just felt like getting bread and salami for dinner. Another plus side is the self-service washing shop for our clothes which was less than 5-min away from us. As a host, Lorenzo has provided us with privacy which was what we value but he’s also been very helpful when we needed help with figuring out the transportation in Florence. He also provided us with most stuff we needed including the electric mosquito repellant. Mosquitoes are everywhere including Rome by the way so his thoughtful gesture was much appreciated. As added precaution we just applied lotion on ourselves which was the sensible thing to do.
