Ciro was a wonderful host! Upon arrival we recieved some lovely bread, sweets, wine and juice...which was a lovely touch. He also gave us advice on where to eat which we did check out and it turned out to be a great place. He sent us extra information on florence and even helped us to print out some tickets for the opera. The location is ideal and the view of the duomo is surperb. Very spacious, comfortable and clean apartment...we immediately felt at home. Earplugs are provided for the noise at night. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend ciro and his apartment to anyone staying in florence.
