Walter's place is in a great location in Florence. Just over the river from the busy centre, but so close to every thing. Located behind Santo Spirito square where there are lots of bars and restaurants open to the square. It only takes a few minutes to walk anywhere and nice to be slightly off the beaten track. His friend Was there to meet us and we loved the vintage style of the place. The walls are thick as it's in a very old building so it kept cool in the June warm weather and the fan in the bedroom was adequate. We were glad that the bedroom was off the street, as at busy times the noisy scooters whizz by. It was quiet at night for sleeping. The night we arrived there was a choral performance in the Santo Spirito church and lots of people hanging out in the square. In the apartment there are plenty of guide books on Florence and Tuscany, which we found helpful. As other reviews mention, the loo is in a bit of a tricky space, but fine for a few nights. I would definitely stay here again when returning to Florence. Thanks Walter.
