Oliver's place was perfect and far beyond our expectations. We booked Oliver's place last minute, just a few hours before we arrived in Florence. Oliver responded extremely quickly to our message and gave us arrival instructions. Oliver explained that we were his first guests, and was very excited to show us his apartment. It truly felt like home for the days we were there. When we arrived at his place, we were greeted with amazing hospitality! Oliver made sure to show us around the apartment and help us get aquatinted. He welcomed us with a bottle of wonderful wine, water, a map and had snacks and juice laid out for us. The location of the apartment was perfect, walking distance from everything and close to very good restaurants. It was about a 10 minute walk to the Duomo. The apartment was extremely clean, and brand new! The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dishes and glasses to make cooking very feasible. We plan on working to stay with Oliver in our future travels to Florence!
