Ulisse met us at the door after patiently awaiting our arrival (we arrived later than expected due to train travel issues). Our late arrival was no problem for Ulisse. He welcomed us into his Artist Studio with original art on nearly every wall. He had food and beverages waiting in the kitchen fridge available for our use without extra cost. The day we departed, there were problems with the plumbing in the apartment above his, and he contacted us personally to see if we had discovered any water damage in our belongings (none thankfully) or in his apartment (also none) and was very accommodating for us in our time of departure. He's a fine and gracious host and you'll love being in the heart of Florence at his spacious apartment, with lovely views of the Duomo, just 100 meters away.
