Filippo's house was great for our stay in Florence. Easy to communicate with. Very central to everything you would want to see. You can literally walk everywhere, which was awesome. When we were there, there was a heat wave happening in Italy and the lack of air conditioning was a bit of a challenge - but there is one fan that really helped with sleeping. I think that if it wasn't 40 degrees out everyday, the lack of air conditioning wouldn't be such a big deal.
