Both Matteo and his mom were amazing hosts! Their home is so tastefully decorated - it's like it came out straight out of a magazine. We stayed for 5 weeks.
The home is very spacious (very big compared to others in that area) with everything someone would need for a long stay.
Air conditioning is a must in the summer (and they have it)...the heat in July/August was intense.
The home is located in the PERFECT place - 20 minute walk to downtown/Duomo and the rest of the main attractions. There are so many amazing restaurants close to the house as well as downtown and Matteo had some great suggestions that we visited (the secret rooftop bar).
Check out Matteo's office in the lower level outside of the house. Their family owns a lingerie business (custom made Italian lingerie).
Matteo's home is MUST stay for anyone coming to Florence.
