Pierpaolo was an awesome host with a fantastic apartment.
His place was centrally located, and we were upstairs from an excellent bakery and coffeeshop for our relaxed mornings. And easily walkable to great restaurants, the train, and sightseeing.
Before arriving, Pierpaolo helped us reserve a driver for a day trip in Tuscany, and got us reservations at restaurants we wanted.
Pierpaolo went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and set up for success in Firenze. He sat with us and we went through our entire itinerary using a local map which he wrote instructions on and gave to us.
The wifi is very good in his apartment (some other places we stayed in Italy had weak signal and was slow.
We texted regularly and he checked in if we needed anything (we didn't). I would stay here again on a return trip any time. I told him if he ever makes a return visit to the U.S., to visit us. He was very warm and hospitable.
I don't normally write reviews, but I realized during my AirBnB search how important they are for fellow travelers and also hosts. This was a 5-star stay hands down for what we wanted.
Thank you, Pierpaolo for a very memorable experience!
