Ricardo is a great host. Upon arrival, he carried our heavy bag up to the flat which was very gracious of him. The apt is very clean - important to us - the bed and bedding are high quality providing for a restful night. The location is great and close to everything. We found all we needed for our stay at our disposal. Ricardo's tips for dining and exploring the city also very helpful. Since the apt is centrally located, the occasional late night pedestrian noise can be heard, however, we had absolutely no problem getting a restful sleep. We very much enjoyed our stay in Florence. Thank you, Ricardo!
