Great stay! He lives 2 doors away, so check in was a breeze! The apartment was clean, good sized, and bed was comfortable! The shower is the entire bathroom, so things could get a bit wet, but this is not uncommon in European apartments as I understand it. He gave us tips where to go (best gelato in Florence is a 5 minute walk). Neighborhood is nice and calm with bars and restaurants, and only about a 15 minute walk to the main square of Florence.
