Ilio (the second host) was so kind and accommodating! I arrived a bit earlier than check in time and he was present to greet me. The apartment is in a beautiful building with a courtyard, around the corner from the Bargello. Fantastic central location to walk to any sites on either side of the river.
My room was small and clean with a comfortable twin bed, fresh sheets and towels. I shared a bathroom with one other visitor with no trouble, it was cleaned daily. Perfect for a solo traveller. And the terrace! Beautiful terrace with an up close and personal view of the Duomo, perfect spot to unwind after a long day of sightseeing.
I had an evening flight out of Florence and Ilio kindly let me leave my luggage in the apartment until I had to leave for the airport around 3pm.
Word of warning; the apartment is on the top floor and the stairs are not for the faint of heart! Get ready to get your steps in!
Overall I was very happy with my stay - thank you so much for having me!
