Even if we hadn't known that our host is an architect, we would have guessed architect, interior designer or other artistic professional beause the apartment layout, furnishings, and accessories were all so stylish, chic, and comfortable. Even better: they thought of EVERYTHING--from a guest umbrella to a map of Firenze to a complimentary bottle of excellent local Chianti, interesting coffee table books, toiletries, and a fully equipped kitchen with very tasty coffee. They were extremely helpful with directions (e.g., post office) and allowing us to leave our luggage when our train didn't leave till afternoon. The location was great! Altogether perfect.
