Antonio welcomed me early into the house, at my request, so that I could drop of my luggage before the room was ready---his flexibility allowed me the chance to explore Florence unencumbered. Antonio and Laura have a great selection of tourist books to borrow! Mere steps away from the heart of the Old Town neighborhood, I was able to do massive sightseeing and still stop back to the apartment to eat lunch or refresh myself. There is a small grocery on the corner, and a cool restaurant directly across the street. The apartment is spacious and comfortable, with kitchen and bathroom tidy and clean. The bedroom has a great window that opens out into a courtyard where you can hear the sounds of the neighborhood, and that closes out tightly to hide you from the sun. The bed is big and comfy, and I slept very well on the nice sheets. Check out was easy peasy, and Antonio even was able to stop by to say goodbye! I would recommend this flat highly.
