"Mike's House" is in the perfect location to see Florence. It is a compact space yet has everything you need as a home base to explore the city. Espresso maker (no coffee pot), washing machine with clothes drying racks, AC/heat, pots and pans for cooking, and fridge. They included lots of personal touches, like meeting us when we arrived to go over the apartment and the home made cookies and Jam that were on the table to try with our coffee and breakfast. If you are looking for a large space to spread out and lounge around the flat with windows overlooking the city, then this isn't it. If you are looking for a great location, close to all of the main sites in Florence to explore and want a comfortable place to stay that is welcoming, clean, and stocked with everything you need, then this a wonderful spot!! If you have sensitive skin or are a very tactile person, we found the sheets and towels to be "very stiff" and "scratchy". This falls into the category of not what we are used to, It was a minor thing and didn't detract from our stay in wonderful Florence, but just wanted to make a note of it for other travelers to be aware of. We loved the ease and frequency of communication. If we come back to Florence, then we will be looking at this spot again.
