Riccardo was an excellent host! He was easy to communicate with, very pleasant and most important he made us feel very welcome in his home. We had arrived Florence early in the morning, and as check in was in the afternoon, Riccardo went all the way to the station first to collect something from me that needed to be kept in the freezer. It was nice that he cared enough to go that extra mile. The apartment itself is lovely, located close to everything! Very clean and spacious with everything that you need. We walked everywhere, the train station is abt 20 mins away, the Ufizzi gallery, the Arno river, Santa Croce, Duomo and all the main places are merely a stone's throw away. Riccardo gave a lot of suggestions on what to do and places to visit, and laid out pamphlets in the apt for us to refer to. On our last day, he arranged a taxi for us to get to the train station. Would definitely recommend this place to others who plan to visit Florence.
