This apartment has great charm and character, reminding you that you're in a very old building, but it's comfortable and functional. My wife and I spent two wonderful nights here while absorbing as much as we could of Florence's mind-boggling glory.
Fabio met us there and was very kind and helpful. Face-to-face communication was challenging, as Fabio's English is quite limited and my Italian is even more so. However, he placed a quick phone call to his brother Mirko, who was able to take good care of us. Mirko arranged for a taxi for our departure, and he was very thoughtful in communicating with us by email.
The apartment has a terrific location, a half-mile or so from the Duomo and just two blocks from a wonderful trattoria (Cibreo) that had been recommended to us. We were thoroughly enchanted by our experience in Florence.
