Frederico notified us his friend would welcome us,and she was gracious and very helpful; the location was ideal; once you open the door to the street you were immersed in the heart of Florence - right across from the Chappelle de Medici; it was easy to eat, shop, visit museums - we were awe struck by the statue of David; just walking the streets and taking in our surroundings was a wonderful experience; Frederico's flat was very clean and truthfully presented; I would recommend it to anyone
