We only stayed one night at Fabio's, and we had to leave very early to catch a flight home in the morning. Fabio was welcoming and helpful - he met us at the apartment, gave us breakfast for the morning (since we wouldn't be there for his normal breakfast service), and scheduled a cab for our 4:00 am departure. The room is nice, it faces the street, but has double windows that keep the noise down nicely. There was an air conditioner and a fan to keep us comfortable. The room does have a bit of a musty smell to it - but it's an old building in humid Florence, so I think this is fairly normal. Although we didn't have time to enjoy it, the garden in the back of the apartment is lovely and would be a nice quiet spot to relax. The location is also convenient - lots of shops, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance.
