If you're thinking of staying in Firenze, don't think of staying anywhere else.

Raffaele is a wonderful host, warm, welcoming and so helpful. On my arrival he made tea and toast with his home made jam and we chatted for a while (my italian is very basic and he is very patient). He introduced me to his family which was above and beyond what a host needs to do. He was very attentive to ensure I had everything I needed and I felt very much at home here. Also because, for me, I love having cats around, but they leave you alone if you don't encourage them.

The accommodation is great and very comfortable. It has everything you need, and the location couldn't be better. Only 10 minutes walk to the Duomo, a Co-op is 5 minutes walk, everywhere was very accessible. I found it easy to orientate myself from the apartment. Being a single female I also found walking around the streets very safe. The street itself is full of life, it has shops, bars and restaurants, but because the apartment is to the rear of the property, it is very quiet. In the bathroom, there is a large mirror and the shower has good water pressure. Having the outdoor space is an additional bonus. As the street is an area pedonale (no vehicles), taxi's drop off and pick up at the end of the street, which is only a 1 minute walk and not a problem.
