We had a great time at Adriano's apartment. It's in the center of Florence, so you can go wherever you please in about minutes. The street has some stores if you need to buy something to drink or eat. The apartment is as very quiet and full of personality! We didn't get to meet Adriano in person, but he was very helpful by answering all our doubts by email. Florence is a lovely city, we hope to come back soon :)
