We had a fantastic time in Florence at Ettore's place! Ettore was very welcoming and supportive. The flat is located in the historical city center, but not in the touristic part, so you feel really local. It's just 5 min walk from Casa Buonarotti and the best ice cream shop in the city (according to my husband, I'm still a huge fan of Grom :-) )
I loved the recently renovated apartment, especially the shower. Very clean, ventilator is very helpful. Though I wouldn't mind to pay a bit more to have WiFi and aircon. Otherwise the place is ideal for me.
