This was our second stay at the Artists Apartment in Florence. Every day, we listened to birds in the street-level garden below, then made excursions into or out of the city. The neighborhood is unique, and completely Florentine. The proximity of a super supermarket made meal preparation "at home" easy, and the presence of good, typical restaurants nearby was a plus. If one wants to live briefly in Florence as the Florentines do, then this is just the right place.
