Michele has a beautiful apartment which is just on the edge of the tourist area which means the apartment and the area around is quiet and not overrun by tourists. It is less than ten minutes to the Duomo and less than that to the old market and Santa Croche. The apartment is spotlessly clean and is like a home from home, well furnished with Michele's personal effects. The bed is extremely comfortable and there is nice balcony from where you can see the dome of Tempio Maggiore which looks beautiful when floodlight at night. Michele met us on arrival showing us around and giving us really helpful tips. The supermarket is less than two minutes away as well as a bank, post office and other local shops as well as a selection of places to eat. Thank you Michele for a wonderful place to stay in Florence, a highly recommended super host in all respects. Richard
