Michaelangelo is an ideal and gracious host. He is very knowledgeable about Florence and it’s history but does not overwhelm you with more than you want to know. The historic building is an interesting place to stay and the neighborhood could not be better. Literally everything was within walking distance. Despite being in the center of a vibrant neighborhood the apartment was quiet and at night and when we left the terrace door open we could smell bread baking. We highly recommend this place to other travelers.
