I can't say enough good things about Michele's apartment! It is a beautiful 1400 year old space in the heart of Florence and is walking distance from everything. It comes stocked with everything you need to be comfortable and has a lovely little balcony where we sat in the sun and enjoyed a bottle of wine and snacks from the local market. Michele is wonderful as well, very easy to get ahold of, met us upon a very late arrival in town and took the time to get us settled. I couldn't imagine a better start to my first and definitely not last trip to Italy!
