I stayed with Antonella and the family for 1 month in their 6th floor apartment with a very good view of Florence from the terrace. My holiday was certainly better with the interaction I had with Antonella,her husband Alessandro,their son Andrea and the cute little dog they have called Pepsi.I had not had a dog for many years so it was very special to spend time with her.Antonella was very kind to include me in a few get togethers with friends on a few occassions and invited me to a few events as well that I was unable to attend.The family is very relaxed so you can be comfortable them and in the apartment. The big room is very good and has air conditioning which was very useful as the heat increased in Florence. You will be able to enjoy very good pizzas at the local pizzeria around the block from the apartment either as a take away or eat in. The bus service from the apartment will get you close to the centre of Florence within 20-25mins.I would consider staying in the apartment again if I returned to Florence now that I know the family and familiar getting around certain areas of Florence.
