Raffaele's place is in a great central location you walk out the front door and Firenze surrounds you and embraces you. The whole town is easily walked but I also found the buses useful for making it easier to cart my bag to and from the station.
Raffaele is a genial host who delights in showcasing his city beginning with an introductory walk to the Duomo just so you know where il Centro is.
As Raffaele describes the room is small but the bed is big so for one it works very well.
The only problem I had was with mosquitos there were many in the room and house and I am allergic to their bite. I killed many especially on the first night and Raffaele provided a plug in deterrent which helped for the following nights.
We had some good conversation and I enjoyed some of Raffaele's good cooking.
I enjoyed my time in Firenze staying at Raffaele's place.
Grazie Raffaele.
