We stayed at Conte's place for couple days on our Italy trip. We absolutely loved the place - really spacious apartment with everything you need. Florence views from the terrace in the building are magical! Check-in and communication was very smooth. We arrived a little bit earlier than regular check-in time but host was very flexible so we didn't have to kill time waiting for the check-in time. Historical part of Florence is right across the river - we didn't have to take taxi at all - all major tourists places are in walkable distance from the apartment. We really enjoyed staying at Conte's place so strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to see Florence and stay in nice place!
