Daniele was a wonderful host! We arrived in Florence early, and he was very accommodating and let us drop off our bags so we could start seeing the sights while he prepared the studio for us. He was kind and warm, and provided us with a map with plenty of suggestions, many of which we took. Going to Fiesole at his suggestion might have made our entire trip! The studio is very stylish and cozy, and in the perfect spot to walk to the Duomo, Uffizi, Ponte Vecchio, Piti Palace/Boboli Gardens and Galleria Academia. It is also surrounded with cafes and bars (take Daniele's suggestions!) Studio 8 was the perfect place from which to fall in love with Firenze! I highly recommend staying with Daniele on your trip.
